The biscuits are an improvement but pack them with care if you intend to take them home. They don't travel well! (so I found out!)

Strange that, they dunk well but seem to break up if you take them away from the confines of the ship! Must be a cunning ploy by P&O to prevent biskwit-napping !

Actually preferred the original ones. Saved them all from our 22 nightwear last November!

Not sure if I have picked up the quote correctly (first attempt) but couldn't resist saying that your nightwear must be very tasty. Silver service

Especially if they are the honey and oat ones.

Don't talk to me about the honey & oat - they were the only ones of the old lot that I couldn't stand - they were as hard as paving slabs. Even though they are a bit on the crumbly side, the new ones are all edible. Can't see why everyone was raving about h&o - they must have better teeth than I have !!

We don't eat them at all these days, haven't done for quite a while now, so it doesn't matter to us which biscuits they provide, or even if they stop them altogether.

We don't eat many Gill although my colleagues used to look forward to me coming back from a cruise as I supplied them with quite a few packets, now R takes them to work :oops:

Bet your poor cabin steward spent most of his time back and forth to your cabin, replenishing your biccies !

We didn't get as many as we could because we forgot to stash them away a few times :shock: we should have had 52 packets if we'd have done it right (13 nights x4), we saw a photo on facebook of a chap that had almost 200 I think :o

I find it easier to get Wina to get him in the cabin to look at some phantom problem. Whilst she's got him distracted I fill a carrier bag from his trolley! :D

You could have done it twice a day as I am sure the steward would top them up morning and night - and maybe even when he turns the bed down - so you could get at least 100. Foo for thought on the next one....!

When compering the theatre shows on our last cruise, the cruise director said how we'd all be going home with suitcases heavier than when we came because of the amount of biscuits we would all be stashing away!
