Vegan meals

Has anyone had Vegan meals on the Britannia lately? I have done a search but all related posts are quite old, any info/advice appreciated.

I dont know the answer to your question.....but if you email

Diets.Reservations@Carnivalukgroup.com

I am sure they will be able to assist you. Quote your booking reference and Ship name. I have found them very helpful in the past. They will probably have a separate vegan menu available but you will need to notify them in advance.

Thanks for your reply but I have already informed P&O of my dietary requirements. What I am looking for is someone`s personal experience of the quality and diversity of meals that are offered as part of the vegan menu.

Hi I have just returned from Britannia first time cruising as a Vegan.

Inform P and O before you travel and an invite will be in your cabin to see restaurant manager on sail away day to discuss your diet needs.

Each evening in the Main restaurant a dedicated waiter gives you a separate menu where you can select your meal for the next evening. A few Vegan choices are available.

Horizon court, Various options available daily, Pick and mix from various food stations. Some Lunches-evenings a stir fry station where you can select what is cooked, There is a special diet station with Vegan pastries. They keep extra cakes in a chill cabinet and replace regally. Fresh cooked chips available late at night if you ask to add to what is available. Ask for Soya milk and waiters will get it all over the ship. Java does a nice Latte with Soya.

Have a nice cruise Maggie.

Thank you, much appreciated :)

Food - what was it like?

Restaurant:

I chose what I wanted for dinner for the following evening. The vegetarian and vegan menu although not exhaustive was very appetising. You could chose a vegetarian meal and have it altered for vegan.

My favourite dessert was Baklava as this matched my sweet pallet! There was a cauliflower based meal (sorry can't think what it was called) which was a favourite. Didn't like the risotto, but that was more from a personal taste rather than how it was cooked etc.

Horizon court:

Slightly more freedom of choice and the food was fresh-particularly the salads. You could also have additional vegetables like roast spuds. Rice was out and about too. There was a side counter catering for vegan (also vegetarian, gluten free, lactose free, diabetic) but this was small, so choice was minimal. You really had to scout about and check out the "normal" foods to see what you could have. There were vegan cakes but generally only had one choice and they were very small compared to "normal" cakes! So you have to have two!!! They were quite nice but could be very dry-could be improved on. Some nights when I was peckish I ended up just having a bowl of chips-lovely! All in all the food was ok. The staff were very accommodating.
