That was great .... thank you ..
I will now check out the main dinning ..
Great review andvhelpful...Thank you
Looks amazing I would love it ❤
Brilliant thanks, 8 weeks to go, can't wait! 🎉
Have a great time 😁
I am going on Britannia on 2nd june to Norway,hope the buffet improves,not much choice there at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Yes, you can go along to the main dining rooms so hope that is better. For the price you pay for your holiday there should be ample choice.
Just got back from our cruise it was great plenty of food at the buffet it was a wonderful,ship was clean and tidy,staff were polite and they all worked hard to give you a wonderful holiday,can't wait to sail with P&O again.
Fingers crossed for you 😁
Hi there, another great video like always from you. Keep up the good work. Very interesting to watch. I think how are you piggy videos to get a really good it’s really informative and great information. Keep up the good work and I enjoy your videos and I hope you both are fine
Best fod tour kev
Good honest review. The food stations all looked so bland and a lot of the food was beige. P&O seemed to have really cut back on food quality, as we had been sailing with them for over 25 years (no more after 2 substandard cruises) and really noticed the decline. But they have become the cheap line now, sell it cheap and fill it up. Most other lines have a fresh egg and omelette station, and where has the Corned Beef Hash gone? The offering on MSC Virtuosa is so much better. (except the burgers!!).
Thanks Gary and haha can't remember the burgers on the Virtuosa so that says it all you must be right lol , and yes the buffet is very disappointing. I know people say ' well you can't go hungry with what's on offer' but where Is the line with that statement , doesn't meant its good quality. But saying that the speciality restaurants have always been brilliant on our P&O cruises and the MDR has been good 👍
We were on iona recently. Found lunch (or dinner if youre from the north like me) pretty good most days. Evening meal was naff the one night we tried it.
Ketchup on your bacon sandwich. No no no. Thanks for the info guys. X
Seeds and prunes. Love to keep regular! Of course we'll have brown sauce on our Bacon Sandwich. Never had it before I don't think, but we want to be friends with both of you, Stacey and Kevin! We enjoyed seeing the buffet fully for all meals. I think we could be happy and find anything we desired for anytime. One thing we did notice is that they seem to have premade salads and not a salad bar where you make your own salad like we're more used to. love to eat like animals! Saw the beer, wine and soda dispensers. Soda is even an extra charge? That surprises me. Otherwise I think we could live just fine eating only at the buffet. But, we'd have to limit it to only 2 meals a day. We couldn't do 3! Enjoyed the review and look. Thanks for bringing us along.
Hi Dave and Kathy. Hope you're both doing well and haha we do love a good buffet 😋 😁. And us brits love brown sauce otherwise known as HP sauce lol. But don't worry if you've never had it you'll always be friends of ours 😁.
PORK ADOBO!!!!!! my Filipino thing hype me up!!! I was like looking for rice in the breakfast but finally lunch!!!! Asian Rice is Life hehehe 😅 ❤ love from Philippines 🇵🇭
All that food looked delicious, as a picky eater there’s was loads I would have ate.
Team Stacey all the way, got to have brown sauce on a bacon sandwich.
Done a Britannia caribbean cruise last year, food overall was ok, got a bit fed up with the buffet but the Guinness bread was delicious!
We didn't have any Guinness bread when we were on. Would of loved to have tried it, sounds interesting 😁
😂 soup next to custard. Reminds me of our November holiday where chicken soup was next to gravy! Needless to say my roast beef dinner was drowned in chicken soup 😂 yes I did eat it 😂
🤣
Only ever done P&O cruises so nothing to measure buffet against . Can get very crowded especially at breakfast so prefer to use main dining rooms then . The buffet on Iona is much better laid out and more selection. Excellent Vlog , thanks both
Yes agree the Iona is better laid out
Hi, nice day in Rotterdam? I see the bridge people from Rotterdam call the Swan. I grew up in Rotterdam ;)
Hi how amazing you grew up in Rotterdam, we absolutely loved it 😍
So glad I’ve come across your videos, going for our first cruise in august. One question I have concerning the buffet - is there a kids section? Neither of my 2 will eat if there isn’t a better offering of chips and beige food!
Hi there was a kids afternoon tea everyday in the buffet from 4:45 till 5:45. Looked great for kids 😁. Maybe just double check the times though in your Horizon magazine when onboard just incase it's slightly different when you're on
Good evening to you both
We only eat in the buffet restaurant for breakfast and sometimes for lunch as we were late eaters it was standing room only
Think we will try and eat a little earlier as you have, saves fighting for a table and having my choice not just having what's left.
I know you are not drinkers, but after a few beers and cocktails in the evening the late buffet was very welcome, its only what's left from the evening buffet but taste so much better.
We also tried the hot cross buns, think the wife can make better ones then that, hope she doesn't read this but she cant cook
Haha glad it tasted better after a few drinks lol. And 🤣🤣! Hope she doesn't read this then. Would take some doing though to make those hotcross buns any harder 🤣
I love msc buffet then p&o
Yes the MSC buffet is amazing
Fried eggs were a nightmare to get at that buffet a week ago as soon as they put them out they were gone within seconds,and no effort was made to put anymore out ,same with baked beans . And I was about number 6 in queue . Service needs improvement in the horizon. Never went there for lunch only breakfast twice within a week.
Great video guys - I like p&o but I think the buffet is dire. MDR much better .
Yes totally agree with you there ( the buffet video is yet to come lol)
Very detailed. I loved the MSC Virtousa buffet, with no need to use the MDR for dinner, but on the P&O Ventura it was the opposite. I suppose some cruise lines assume their guests want to have waiter service dining, but there needs to be a strong alternative.Disappointing to see no Omelette station.
Yes we love the Virtuosa buffet too
Oh yes, it has to be HP sauce with a bacon or sausage sarnie with the bread slightly toasted. My good lady wife unfortunately kills hers with ketchup and to add insult to injury she also blobs ketchup on the yolk of a fried egg. 👀 Cheers for the updates guys. 👍
Haha nooooo not on the egg yolk 🙉🤣
❤
Thanks for the tips, thinking of booking Britannia, the buffet doesn’t look busy, how busy did you find it? It was terrible on Ventura two weeks ago struggled to find a table.
Hi we get permission to film the food just before the buffet opens so that we can show it better. As for sitting and eating it yes it was busy as we were on a full ship but we always managed to get a place to sit. It was always the tables furthest away from the buffet that were quiet
I'm sure that (lack of) bread choice came as a shock after being on Virtuosa.
🤣
Hi guy's, I was surprised they didn't make any kind of egg's for you in the buffet. I wasn't sure when you said "brown sauce", then reading some of the other comments I saw HP. Is that like a steak sauce? The buffet looked like it had everything you could need for every meal but not a huge selection of item. I would go for a quick bite but eat in the main dining room otherwise. Thank you for showing all of this.
Hi yes brown sauce is a big thing in England. The HP sauce that it's otherwise known for stands for Houses of Parliament, its like a tomato and vinergery sauce I would say.
@@OneCouplesAdventure that's the one I know. Thank you 👍
Nice to see the buffet, I usually like those. Do you get to see the menu in the main dining room before you go in?
Hi yes they would Display the dinner menu on a board outside of the restaurants each day
I have coeliac disease. I can't eat gluten/wheat. Seeing the little allergy selection was sad. But, the rest of the food looked just as sad, so I don't feel jealous of what everyone else can have, the way I normally do. I've been on a cruise from Orlando to Nassau on a Carnival ship. The food was much nicer. Thank you for your review. I'm looking forward to seeing how this cruise is.
Coeliacs are pretty well catered for. What you couldn't see on the video is all the signs that show allergens for each dish. My coeliac daughter has never eaten so well and if u are concerned about cross contamination they will bring you items fresh from the kitchen. After a week on Iona recently there was no sign that she had been 'glutened'!
Thank you Kirsty. I’m glad your daughter was able to eat and enjoy herself. You have to do so much research just to eat before you go on vacation when you have coeliac.
@@roguz444 indeed!
The buffet is definitely the low point of P&O. It wouldn’t stop me booking with them, but it’s no MSC
Great food, but wow it’s annoying how everything is fully booked. Me and my mate wanted to go Olive Grove last min but it was always fully booked. Hate booking in advance, proper jokes
Forgive my ignorance - is the dining room food part of the price package?
Hi yes it is. Its the just the speciality restaurants that require a extra charge
@@OneCouplesAdventure thankyou
Is that a Stoke on Trent accent i here duck ?
Haha yes it is duck 😄
Sorry Stacey but my husband does not agree. He said ketchup on bacon and brown on sausage..and mayonaise can just do one.
Hahaha love this. Mayonnaise can do one 🤣🤣
MSC food looks better for me 😊
Definitely in the Buffet, then the Britannia was better for food in the MDR
@@OneCouplesAdventure We went in MSC Virtuosa Mediterranean and waiting Christmas markets cruise MSC Euribia
😂😂😂 kev - czcams.com/video/RZmwn0LNhGo/video.html. I’m really not a p&o fan, but the more of these food videos you do the more I think I might give them another chance. Bland curry & spicy sausage sounds like breakfast if kings.
Looks like Aloo bhaji to me, saag is spinach. Just saying
Well thats what they put on the sign above each dish, I read each one as I went along
This is what annoys me P&O speciality restaurants are amazing with great food!!! Yet the buffet are just meh!! I would say Princess does the best buffet followed by MSC. oh MSC pizza is the best pizza at sea and I'm sure kev agrees with me!!
Yes after doing princess just we have to agree . We liked the Britannia MDR but the buffet was poor. And Kev loved the MSC pizza so much but the pizza from gigis on princess might of even topped it!
Personally I think Celebrity cruise ships have the best buffets by far.
Think P&o have the worst buffets I have been on and have done so many cruises
lets be honest...if you were served any of this food in a local cafe or restaurant you would send it back...its not up to scratch and certainly not a wow...cruising should be luxury not worse food than butlins
Just came back from a fiord trip to Norway, sorry but the buffet food was not the best, breakfast was the best choice, lunch and dinner was a struggle, food is of low standard and tasteless, very disappointing
It's so annoying that the vegetarian selection is still so inferior in comparison!
This is going to sound very pretentious and negative, and I know that doesn’t really fly here because this is by in large a very positive channel. But I have to be honest, I’ve been on Azura, Arcadia and Iona and whilst I can’t speak to the Iona as I never eaten in the buffet, but the other two are roughly on par with school dinners. Absolutely dreadful. The dining restaurants, particularly their specialty variants, are better.
P&O worst buffet at sea
Which has been your favourite?
@@OneCouplesAdventure So far, Royal Caribbean has been the best.
I think that the selection and quality on P&O across the three ships we have been on have all equally been the worst we’ve experienced. There are other reasons too why we will not be throwing our hard earned money at P&O until things change.
Ps. Cunard buffet’s are a close second.
We want to try Royal Caribbean at some point. We have just done our first Princess cruise to Alaska and the buffet was fantastic
Their buffet was excellent plenty of food. Just been on a cruise with them 2nd june 2023 could not go hungry.
@@donnatyler8064 That’s great, if you were completely happy with what they had to offer that’s all that matters. But have you had the opportunity to try other cruise lines to see how they compare to P&O?
