We booked this cruise over a year ago and after reading reviews was on the verge of changing to another ship - I am glad we didn't. Britainna is a magnificent ship, the bars and lounges are elegant and we think they are of the same standard as Celebrity Solstice. The waitresses, waiters and bar staff were very helpful and extremely friendly especially Miki in Brodie's. We didn't encounter any of the problems that have been posted about Britannia. We ate Freedom dining and always got a table straight away even a table for two. We think the Atrium is elegant and a great place to enjoy a drink and doesn't deserve the critism it is getting. We can't find anything to complain about. The balcony and bathroom are smaller than on other ships but we didn't find this a problem. We have also cruised on Princess and Celebrity so we can compare it to other ships. We would certain sail on this ship again. Our only criticism would be about embarkshire. Being allocated a specific time doesn't work.
