Barbados Gourmet Food Cruises Reviews

This was our first P&O cruise so tried to keep an open mind and not try to compare with the other companies that we have used. The flight from Birmingham and transfer at Barbados worked well even though we didn’t have our luggage before we went for dinner. We originally opted for Club Dining first sitting and because we only booked 4 weeks before sailing we did not get a table for 2 but were ...

Booked last year on Board, after a New year cruise, we had some concerns that P&O were cutting everything whilst trying to attract a different client group, but we decided to give it a chance! the result was a mixed bag: The Good: Britannia is still an impressive ship and generally feels spacious, she handles roughish seas quite well. Lots of people made the effort on Celebration night to ...

Cruised 4 years ago on Britannia. Not holidayed for 4 years so decided to return. The standards on this ship have dropped. Staff seemed unhappy. Cleanliness was terrible and unlike previous cruises where they would help you, everything seemed too much trouble. We had a premium deluxe balcony cabin. The cabin itself was good but cleanliness was not up to standards of previous ships. We ...

Having been on lots of cruises with princess ,royal Caribbean and p o.went on same cruise Jan 2020 and was great but now service is poor buffet food was terrible salad ,Yorkshire pudding roast potatoes and beef next day pork same everyday.sections always closed so was crowded juice machine never working.grill outside only had burgers or hotdogs never chicken there or salad.shows were ok but ...

We sailed on a Christmas Cruise for the first time in 2023 on P&O Britannia, influenced by seeing Britannia docked alongside Carribean Princess (on which we were sailing) in February 2019. The crowd on the ship seemed to be having a great time, and the people we chatted to on the dockside recommended the ship. So, the first dispapointment is that we discovered the "Great British Sailaway" has ...

Tl;dr: Britannia is the ship for people who want the cruise experience while forgetting they're on a ship; beautifully decorated but strangely designed and lacking the service level you'd expect if you've previously sailed with P&O (though I want to believe this is due to specific problems P&O are currently facing which will be resolved in time). The flight to Barbados and embarkation process ...

We got a very good last minute deal on Britannia otherwise P&O wouldn’t have been our first pick to cruise with. If the itinerary, weather and local people hadn’t have been so brilliant we’d have been totally gutted! Food was a major disappointment. Really small portions of bland and under seasoned food in the MD Rooms. Buffet was the smallest offering I’ve ever seen at sea! First time we’ve ...

We are a young 70s couple with 10 Seabourn cruises and several Silver Seas and Tauck cruises under our belt. We chose this cruise pretty much because it was available with a superior suite (Navigator Suite) when Seabourn was sold out. Also, Regent sports itself as "Ultra Luxury" so we though we would give it a try. First the pre-night hotel stay. The Hilton was awful! Pretty beach but ...

This was our first cruise with Regent. We've travelled with Viking, Windstar, Poinant, and others. The Navigator cruise from Barbados to Barbados looked like a nice itinerary. The cruise itself was very nice and the crew and food were great, on a par with Viking. There were a couple of issues shouldn't have happened on Regent. The main issue was the absolutely chaotic transfer from the ...

I'm not great with big crowds so we decided for our first cruise we would go with a smaller ship (which I am glad we did) and as I like quality the Seven Seas Navigator seemed like a good choice. We were originally touring the Caribbean in 2020 but the pandemic stopped that so this was our rescheduled attempt. Organising the cruise was easy and we got good advice from the rep in the U.K. ...
