GUT2407 Posted July 1, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 1, 2015 haven't experienced it yet, but can see good and bad. One thing that worries me is that I love getting say some asian and some western food both at once, it seems that this will be much harder to do with the pantry type set up. On the other hand lines may be less,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moqui_girl Posted July 1, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Sounds like an interesting concept. Would set them apart from other lines. Not sure how it would work - I think lines for some might end up being very long. It will be interesting to see how it is received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what do others think? Cant remember when we first started cruising with P and O UK, but the buffet setup has always been the same. A couple of hot choices and assorted same for ever salads... This just seemed to spin this around. The post comes from P and O Australia, so not due in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombatar Posted July 1, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Sounds really good. However I can see P&O UK charging for this :eek: if they introduced it!!! Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare P&O SUE Posted July 1, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Sounds interesting - may be good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thejuggler Posted July 1, 2015 #7 Share Posted July 1, 2015 If you want to try it just go on Celebrity Eclipse. Their buffet is exactly this. 8-10 stations all serving a different type of food and it leaves P&O in the shade for choice and quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Sharon Posted July 1, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) Anthem of the Seas is also exactly like this - it took ages wandering round trying to decide what to eat and them having to go back to get some things. Liked the choice but easily added half an hour to a "quick" lunch! Edited July 1, 2015 by Host Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devongirl Posted July 2, 2015 #9 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Celebrity Eclipse also have a station for children......adults can share if they choose! There is also a lot of food at these stations served very efficiently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakfast is a real treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted July 4, 2015 #11 Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) The 'Pantry' is/will be on the P&O Australia ships..Pacific Dawn Pacific Pearl, Pacific Dawn, Pacific Eden, Pacific Aria etc. As for Celebrity buffets, the one on Solstice overwhelmed me, I got lost. I like P&O UK layout, simple, easy. Edited July 4, 2015 by NSWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
