Cruise Dining

We offer a range of dining options to choose from. Included in the price of your holiday are our Freedom and Club dining restaurants, or you can choose to treat yourself and take a seat in one of our speciality restaurants for a little extra. 

Freedom dining means that you’re not allocated a set time to dine – you can eat at whatever time suits you. All you need to do is join a queue via My Holiday whenever you’re ready and you’ll be told when your table’s available. 

There are a few options when it comes to booking dining on board. Some venues will be available to book 120 days before you set sail by logging in to My P&O Cruises. If you’d like to book on board, simply use the My Holiday portal during your cruise to browse our restaurants and book your table. 

Wherever possible, we like to make sure everyone’s catered for. There’s a range of vegetarian and gluten-free meals available on all menus in most restaurants, so you’ll still have lots of choice. There’s also options available for vegetarians, pescatarians, those with lactose and dairy intolerances and also those with gluten, wheat and coeliac intolerances. Please contact us before your cruise and let us know of your requirements so we can make arrangements for you.  

Yes. You can enjoy an extensive range of yummy food all in the comfort of your cabin. 

Once you've booked with us, you will have access to My P&O Cruises, where you can manage your upcoming holiday. As part of this, you’ll be able to make dining arrangements for your group – such as which sitting you prefer and choosing the right table size for your party.

Yes, tipping isn’t needed on P&O Cruises ships. So, you can relax knowing good service and good times are all part and parcel of your cruise dining experience with us.

You can find out all about our drinks options here. Drinks on a P&O Cruises holiday are competitively priced (similar to what you'd expect to pay in your local pub), and we offer a variety of drinks packages.

Log in to My P&O Cruises up to three days before your holiday to get the best drinks package for you. Or if you’d like to wait until you’re on board, you can get your drinks package within the first two nights of your holiday.
