Thank you to P& O Britannia. We have wanted to visit the Canary islands and Madeira for a while. This cruise fulfilled our expectations. We have sailed to the Caribbean before on Britannia a few years ago and wondered if the standards had slipped, due to some of the negative reviews. You need not fear, our experience was delightful. I am amazed at how some people can moan so much when we were on ...
After a lumpy Bay of Biscay crossing, the rest of the cruise was excellent.
The ship was going into dry dock at the end of this cruise for a spruce up.
We had sailed on Britannia before so we knew our way round the ship. The lifts are still a bit of a problem, mainly as at either end of the ship they are smaller and often full at busy times.
Considering the wear she has had, I thought she ...
This was our first cruise(2 adults 2 children)
Slightly nervous before as never sailed before but I nee-dent have worries at all!
Britannia is such a beautiful magnificent ship!
We visited all around the Canary Islands. All staff were on hand when getting on/off the ship. Security was super good. We felt safe the whole time.
Weather was magnificent as well.
We had an amazing time! ...
We last went to the Canary Islands in 2008 so we thought a return visit was long overdue.
This was our 2nd trip on Britannia as we had already been to the Caribbean on a fly cruise in November 2017 and was our 11th cruise with P&O.
This time we boarded Britannia on Sunday 8th April 2018 on a two week cruise to the Canary Islands. We stayed overnight at our preferred hotel, New Place Hotel , ...
We pick The Britannia as she a newest ship in the fleet, we were on venture last year so pick other in their fleet. We read other comments about this ship from the guest who have been on her so was not sure if we were doing the right thing, but they say everyone as their own taste and we found the Britannia to be a lovely and friendly ship, yes she as her faults but don't all ships.
There is no ...

We chose this cruise because it was the closest departure date we wanted to our silver wedding anniversary . We had never been on a cruise before.
Can i say this was the best decision ever as our holiday was amazing i suffer with coeliac disease and was worried about the food but i had nothing to worry about i ordered my food in advance and it got serveved when we went to lunch and ...
What I like to do on a cruise: I don't drink, gamble or am interested in speciality dining. I don't like to lay in the sun but like a dip in the pool and to spend an hour or two reading in the shade. I Iike to see as much of the entertainment as possible and take part in activities. I found Britannia to be a bit too large to enable me to do this comfortably. For instance, I went to a show in the ...
This was our first cruise and it won't be our last. We were a bit worried about driving to the dock not knowing where to go but it was well marked and you just followed the traffic. We were met by the porters who then took our cases and the drivers who then went and parked our car for the duration of our holiday. Then looking like lost sheep followed the rest of the people to join a line into ...
We are experienced P&O cruisers so we thought we would try Britannia.
We were very pleasantly surprised with the style and decor. The thing you must understand is that this is not like any other P&O ship in either layout or size.
Get over the no prom deck. get over all the places you have to pay supplements to dine, get over the small balconies and enjoy a great ship.
The attention to ...
