bookworm_agent Posted August 4, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Hello, Can you see the menu for that night in the main dining room during the day - so you can look at it and see if you will like anything before going there and sitting down? Do they put it up outside? I am planning my first cruise next year on P&O's Ventura. Many thanks in advance, Emma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueboo Posted August 4, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Yes they put it outside ........both lunch and dinner menus , makes it easy to plan where you want to eat for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookworm_agent Posted August 4, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Thank you - that's great :) I was hoping they would :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FangedRose Posted August 4, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 4, 2018 If you have special dietary needs you can ask for the menu for the next day whilst at dinner. They will then do their best to prepare what you want to suit your needs, ie low sugar versions of a dessert, or gluten free version of a dish.

skip.brandy Posted August 6, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Hello, we're thinking of taking a cruise on the P & O Oceana, next April, when I was reading about the buffet, it wasn't very clear if there is a charge or not. On other cruise lines the buffet has always been free, can anyone tell me please, thank you. Carol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On other cruise lines the buffet has always been free, can anyone tell me please, thank you. Carol. Yes it's free for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and everything in between. However, in the evening a section of it is cordoned off and becomes The Beach House, which serves Frankie and Bennie type food. It is table service, but very much more relaxed than other extra charge venues. There is a cover charge (£7.50 in April), but some items are extra. The rest of the buffet is still open and operates as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks in advance, Emma If you book a suite, they also bring the menu for the following day to your room with the canapes in the afternoon.

Buffet and main dining rooms are free, there are ‘select’ restaurants that you pay extra for if you want to, but plenty of choice without paying extra. Have a great time.

Big Foot Posted August 7, 2018 #12 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Hello, I don't know if this link will work, as my work's PC isn't brilliant! If it does, here's the menu's from our cruise on Britannia in September 2016 Whilst they may have changed slightly, it should nevertheless give you some idea of what to expect. Hope it helps ... if it the link works! Joan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to Frankie and Bennies more than once, and it was the closest dining experience I could compare it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
