tindall1039 2 Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Just been on Sapphire Princess for 11 night cruise from Singapore. Before I went colleagues were telling me Princess was superior to PandO. Yes ,the Horizon buffet restaurant was better than PO, I liked the way they made sure you didn't enter without using the hand sanitiser & the staff came round with tea & coffee etc. if you didn't want to help yourself. That was the only plus.The entertainment & choice of entertainment was very poor. The most popular entertainer was Mauritzio but in such a small area not enough seats available.My biggest criticism was the Freedom Dining. I know some people prefer tables for 2 ,but myself and other people I spoke to, choose freedom to meet people but we were constantly told no-one to share with. eventually were taken to a the same table with the same people every night so we might as well have been fixed dining. Final plea to PandO ,please do not ever remove tea & coffee facilities from the cabins,I really missed this for early morning cuppa & early evening whilst getting ready for dinner.

Jenjen 232 Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 Can you really compare one cruise line with another, I don't think you can compare one ship with another, you have so many anomalies ports, weather, people, crew, stateroom, food, I could go on and on. i was once told, your best cruise is the one your on, because all the others, are in the past.

jinky 96 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 I think you can in terms of service and food. Certainly s far I`d rank our experiences: 1. Holland America with great service and food 2. A Louis Crystal cruise we did around Cuba with great food and service 3. Just behind - RCI. 2 different experiences on different boatrs bit good service with varying food but always good 4. Way behind P&O Azura with quite poor service, average food sometimes not hot and often overcooked (fish especially) So far P&O are the only company I`d be reluctant to travel again with unless they came up with the ideal itinerary that made me ignore service and food.

loveholidays53 21 Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 I agree with Tindall1039 about P&O. I also like being able to make myself a drink whenever I want in the cabin- I don't want room service. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
