| [quote] Hello and welcome sands14 It would take a very long time to provide a total response so may I respectfully suggest that you read the 'Whats Included' section of a P&O brochure (inc online). Meanwhile I can confirm that you can eat for free 24/7, there are also additional and chargeable places to eat - also as per the brochure. Drinks do not include booze of any description but if you only drink water, tea and coffee (restrictions apply) then these will also be free. Hope this helps but ask away if you need to know anything specific.

That is ridiculous why would anyone 'steal' from the buffet just to eat in their cabin when room service is available.
The only time we EVER take from the buffet is in the morning at breakfast to make bacon and sausage 'baps'.
These we trade with the sun lounger attendants for free loungers and shades.

| sands14, here is a link to the FAQ that answers your question. You will not go hungry and there will be something somewhere with food available 24/7. Drink is generally not included except for water/orange/tea/coffee.

But the bacon & sausage baps sound good anyway! JDW
