We usually cruise with Royal Caribbean however, last year we had our first experience with P &O when we went to the Ffords on the Azura. Although we did think that the standard of service and food were not as good as we had expected but we did quite like the fact that the entertainment was reasonable and very much geared to the British cruiser. However, the Azura experienced some technical problems and we were delayed on board for an extra day. This was not really a problem for us as I am retired but my husband lost on days work. We were however compensated with on board spends and !0% of our next cruise. Therefore we took the opportunity of redoing the Fjords again his year taking in the places we had missed and so looking forward to the blwonderful flag ship "Britannia"

We were very excited and expected so much more from the big new ship, oh we were so wrong!

First of all the embarkation was fine quite quick and the staff were friendly. When we arrived in the Atrium, or the Blue bar as they call it we thought it was very elegant although contemporary in style and clearly didn't have the Wow factor that we have experienced on other ships. There were only a few shops which sold the usual over priced jewellery and hand bags and not clothes shops at all. The staircases were covered in dull blue carpet. No lovely glass, marble or chrome. By the time we arrived in our cabin we decided that the ship was quite underwhelming in décor.. The cabin was as expected clean and compact although we felt that he balcony was a bit small, with just enough room for two chairs and one very small little table. The balcony door was very heavy and stiff and difficult to open and shut.
