glf2710 Posted June 23, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Due to sail on Britannia 2 weeks today - the only bookable dining option is The Limelight Club. P&O assure me that all speciality restaurants are open and operational (last year we went and all closed) - anyone know why could cannot currently book Epicurean and Sindhu online? Anyone been on Britannia lately and are these restaurants open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone been on Britannia lately and are these restaurants open? We were on Britannia in April, and like yourself the only booking available was for the Limelight club so that might still be the case. We could only book Epicurean and Sindhu once we got aboard. So yes they are Open but only to book on board. Have a great cruise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone been on Britannia lately and are these restaurants open? Same for us end of May. As soon as you get on the ship there is a desk where you can book the speciality restaurants. We booked them asap as soon as we got on. We had to ask where we could book as it isn't obvious. We ate in all speciality restaurants other than the Limelight and all were excellent. Wish we had booked more visits to be honest. Worth every penny. Enjoy Edited June 23, 2023 by Presto2 Spelling sounded like Allo Allo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Windsurfboy Posted June 23, 2023 #8 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) where is the best place to book speciality dining once you board. Is it at Pursers office or do they have a desk at the suites/peninsula club lunch Edited June 23, 2023 by Windsurfboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone been on Britannia lately and are these restaurants open? We are on the same cruise and have only been able to book the Limelight Club. We will have to book the rest on board. Shame really, as the early booking discount is much appreciated, plus you the get any loyalty discount deducted on top of that. By booking on board you get no early discount and your On Board Credit gets used first, so no loyalty discount either. Would have much preferred to be able to pre-book and pre-pay all speciality restaurants, leaving the OBC for our drinks bill 🤪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daiB Posted June 23, 2023 #11 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I am sure you can book these two restaurants on Iona as we did in March. Not sure why you cannot on Britannia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems as though the current system allows pre-cruise booking for speciality restaurants on Iona and Arvia, but not on Britannia (other than Limelight Club) and presumably not on the other ships either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is frustrating @Selbourne. We couldn't book any speciality restaurants except Limelight online on Azura, Britannia,Iona or Ventura (7 P&O cruises)since cruising restarted for us in August 2021 but others have reported being able to book online for Ventura,Arvia and Iona.

I’ve just double checked my Cruise Personaliser for our forthcoming cruises. As mentioned, on Britannia we can only pre book the Limelight Club. On Iona, it looks as though we will be able to pre book Epicurean, Sindhu, Olive Grove and The Beach House, as well as the Limelight Club. On Ventura, it now looks as though we might be able to pre book Epicurean, Sindhu and the Beach House! I am basing the above on those that say ‘Coming Soon’ (which seems to refer to those where bookings open 14 days before the cruise), rather than those showing as ‘please enquire on board’ (which clearly can’t be pre booked). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plugtheleak Posted June 24, 2023 #15 Share Posted June 24, 2023 As a matter of interest who is appearing in the Limelight club on your cruise? We are on Iona next week and have La Roux struggling to convince the wife and her mother it will worth seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping that La Roux will be on Iona when we are on her in August. Apparently it’s a good act and our daughters would enjoy it (as we might also - a change from the usual talent show failures 😂). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
