Gary Rhodes has been cooking up a storm on the P&O ships Arcadian and Oriana since back in 2005, so passengers are furious that his restaurants are off the menu and are to be replaced with the firey Marco Pierre white. Some angry passengers are even launching a ‘Bring Back Gary’ campaign as they flood to the forums to vent their anger and suggested that Pierre White could lead to a lowering of standards. The change is going to take place when the ships are being refurbished and will be replaced with the Whites Ocean Grill chain. Bosses at P&O have said that the change is due to customers wanting a more contemporary dining experience and something a little bit different and they feel that white brings that to the table. They know how popular he has been on the other three ships in the fleet and it is a way of them to make sure that they are adapting and changing with the cruise market now being popular with young and old alike.
 Rhodes has reacted with surprise at the company’s decision and admitted he had also received numerous letters and emails from disappointed fans. He said: “After more than five fantastic years with P&O Cruises, I am disappointed that P&O wish to no longer continue with Rhodes restaurants on board their Arcadia and Oriana ships.”
