Traveled with children
After reading several negative reviews I do not know what those travelers want from this beautiful ship. Food and service was excellent. Wonderful for families with children and the staff made this a very special time for them. We had no issues with the lifts and this was a full ship. Cabin was comfortable with plenty of hanging space. The ships interior is beautiful, much more subtle than the older ships in decor with some lovely artwork.
We travelled from London gatwick to Barbados on Thomson Dreamliner and upgraded to premium which we all enjoyed and made the journey more comfortable especially for the children. Transfers were quick as was the boarding process onto Britannia.
We chose freedom dining as we had children from 16 months to 8 years in our party. Waiters were very kind and friendly and patient with the children who liked to order their own food. The main restaurants offer a children's menu as well as the main menu. The horizon buffet was well laid out with plenty of seating despite this cruise being fully booked.
Cabin Review
Cabin Balcony
Cabin to the rear of the ship. Near lift and stairs. Cabin was well looked after by our steward. Shower room and cabin space and storage more than adequate for two.

Took water taxi to grand anse beach had great fun with water sports on offer at reasonable prices, be sure to negotiate.
Dominica
It rained during the morning and as we had been here before did not do any trips. Had it have been sunny we would have gone to the beach about 20 mins away by taxi.
St. Maarten
Took the water taxi to the beach. Lots of people offering sun bed rentals. Good beach with good shopping too.
