I have a set of good melamine, and clear plastic wine glasses and tumblers. We also have a set of Rainbow melamine mugs which have been great and not stained.. I guess it's down to personal choice. We also eat proper meals and dont live on "snacks" while on holiday, as Im sure do most families. 

You can find great retro melamine/melawear on fleabay, which is probably better quality than alot of the cheap plastic dining sets you can buy today. As I say, its purely a matter of what you like and what suits you and your family.

WE HAVE BOTH IN OUR VAN - MELAMINE IN CASE  0F EXTRA GUESTS.

I MUST POINT OUT MY MELAMINE WAS BOUGHT IN THE EARLY 70`S AND IT IS STILL LIKE NEW

We use melamine, we're not posh

To be honest I don't see the difference, food & drink tastes the same plus it's lighter & wont break or cause dents if it falls from the cupboars onto the worktop.

Only thing you can't do it put it in the microwave.

We have a good set of melamine bought over ten years ago when we were tenting it was expenisve then at £42.00 for a four place setting but it still looks like new we also eat proper meals and its not stained.
