Thameside Posted June 28, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Hi, We have just booked a suite for a Caribbean Cruise on board Britannia in January, and it is our first time on P & O. I have read as much as possible and realise that there doesn't seem to too many extras included for suite passengers. I have a couple of questions that someone might be to help me with. Can I get main restaurant meals served in my cabin for Lunch or Dinner. Is there a system of priority when tendering is required and does it work. Is all room service food F.O.C. Lastly are there any other perks that might be worthwhile. Thanks in advance. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Peterson Posted June 28, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 28, 2019 You'll find several existing threads on this topic, but you're right - P&O doesn't provide as many extras for suite passengers as some other lines - though to be fair you'd probably pay more for those others. Can I get main restaurant meals served in my cabin for Lunch or Dinner? Yes - you can have them served in your cabin on request. Is there a system of priority when tendering is required and does it work? There is a system, and I believe it does work, though I've never actually used it. Is all room service food F.O.C.? - yes, though you will see prices against the items on the menu in your suite - ignore them. Lastly are there any other perks that might be worthwhile? - you will get priority boarding (make sure you tell them as soon as you arrive at the terminal) and a small area set aside where coffee and biscuits are served. You will also get priority disembarkation, though sometimes the system fails. There are canapes each evening, brought by your butler (another extra - he will provide all sorts of services - see the website) but most people find them pretty unimpressive. You'll also receive advance menus for the following day. You'll have access to the Epicurean for breakfast - superb. There's a 'Welcome on Board' reception lunch too (not in the Epicurean, but pretty good, with wine included). There's a coffee machine in the suite (your butler will keep supplies replenished) and a bowl of fruit (will also be replaced at some point) plus some bottles of water, some chocolates, and a pair of binoculars to use: be wary of these, I picked up an eye infection last time! Doubtless several things I've forgotten about, but others will add to the list. Have fun - it's a nice way to travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No priority disembarkation at Southampton even though I asked I don't know when it was introduced, but we've always benefited from it, and it's a useful 'service'.

SausPud Posted June 29, 2019 #7 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Here is a handy keep guide picture for you to download and enjoy. I had a suite guide booklet sent to me in the post yesterday with all the details of the perks on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philsuarez Posted October 23, 2019 #8 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Where is the Suite boarding day lunch on Britannia.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majortom10 Posted October 23, 2019 #9 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Usually in a restaurant but can be in any of public lounges. It is also the same lunch for higher tiers of Peninsular Club so not exclusive to suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
