Elviex Posted September 8, 2014 #26 Share Posted September 8, 2014 If we have only had excellent service why would we change companies? No reason to dislike P&O so we will continue to cruise with them until we experience otherwise, Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daiB Posted September 8, 2014 #27 Share Posted September 8, 2014 We went from Royal to P&O then to Celebrity. Celebrity IMO is way ahead of both of the other lines. However we would sail RCI again for the right price and itiniary. For us 1: Celebrity, 2: RCI, 3:P&O. We do appreciate the service on the US lines whereas our experience on P&O has been that the service is average with some quite poor experiences ( 45 mins to clear soup courses). I know others say the service is wonderful but have they experienced other lines to make a valid comparison?

Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app No thats true, but then you have no comparison to make an informed judgement. Just a judgement on P&O. We did have a 45 min wait to clear soup courses on P&O and have experienced very average service. Its our opinion, each person has their own. Service on our P&O cruises has ranged from average to poor. On our last RCI cruise we had a waiter we recognised from P&O. He said he had to escape as he wanted to better himself but his colleagues were lazy. Service is subjective, but opinions are biased unless they are from those that have a fair comparison.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Kevin I agree with your last remark up to a point - but we all know whether we have waited 45 minutes for soup courses to clear or not - I never have and other than you have never heard anyone say that this has happened to them. Currently I am cruising both P&O and Celebrity and by and large the service is excellent on both - IMHO of course Edited September 9, 2014 by gadabout60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeanlyon Posted September 12, 2014 #33 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Never had poor service on P&O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Presto2 Posted September 12, 2014 #34 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Never had poor service on P&O. To be fair we've had poor service on P&O on the odd night - and we've also had poor service on Celebrity and on RCI. None are perfect, all are fabulous in their own way. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobs Posted September 13, 2014 #35 Share Posted September 13, 2014 we've had one cock up with the return flights but they compensated us see no reason to look elsewhere we love the Britishness of P & O and a holiday is what you make it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
