Sousa60 Posted May 28, 2015 #10 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Ah good to get confirmation ifthe name change of the White Room to the Epicurean, which was bugging me as we are booked on Ventura in August and all the blurb says whitebRoom and East but the cruise planner says Epicurean and Sindhu most confusing, i presume East will shortly change as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. How are you finding the bar prices on board? From looking at the various bar/wine menus the prices seem to be extremely reasonable for a cruise ship.

Bogof1 Posted May 29, 2015 #14 Share Posted May 29, 2015 glad you enjoyed your trip. We too were on this cruise with our 8 yr old Grandson. He found the children's club amazing and we could never get him out! I too was disappointed with the Sailaways......well lack of I feel is more to the point. Whether P and O have sent all their best people onto Britannia and left behind less than enthusiastic staff.....my opinion only......I found the cruise a little lacking in pizzazz! Food was ok....did love Marco P White menu on black tie night.....dining room certainly better than buffet. So saying we had an enjoyable time, grandson thought it was the best time ever, we now looking forward to seeing if Princess is as bad as some reviews are saying....time passes and things change. Happy cruising everyone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kernow Posted May 29, 2015 #15 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Thanks for the great review. We are on Ventura at the end of June for the 3 nighter with the same ports but no sea day. Going with a group of 17, 7 of whom have never cruised before so will be forwarding them the link! As a big RCL fan I look forward to your final thoughts, we've only done Aurora before with P and O so are keen to try one of their bigger ships.

goughsters Posted June 20, 2015 #22 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I have a question on teenage formal nights attire, do they insist on black tie for 14year olds? Another question must he wear long trousers to dinner or will taiolored chino shorts be ok on other nights rather than formal? Thanks he is driving me mad:confused:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks he is driving me mad:confused:confused: Surely as a teenager at 14 years of age he would want to dress as a grow up and not as a child in shorts?

goughsters Posted June 20, 2015 #24 Share Posted June 20, 2015 As I said he will be going to formal nights in trousers but casual nights surely as a child this should be ok. I have been on many cruises where grown adults have worn denium Jean shorts to dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AchileLauro Posted June 21, 2015 #25 Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) I've never seen shorts being worn by adults to dinner on any of the cruises I have been on even when the dress of the day was casual. Don't P&O ask in the dress code that you do not wear shorts to dinner in the main dining room,other than of course small children or at lunchtime. I tend to read casual as smart casual rather than a free for all with ragged denim and shell suits.:) Edited June 21, 2015 by AchileLauro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
