Canary Islands Britannia Canary Islands Cruise Reviews

Just returned from the 14 day canary island cruise on Britannia. I am sorry to say it was the worst cruise I have ever been on culminating in four days of food poisoning. The ship is dirty and run down, there are stains on the carpets almost everywhere you look and the food in the Peninsula restaurant was bland, tasteless and repetitive. Our cabin was small and in common with the rest of the ship, ...

Chose this cruise after not being able to have a holiday together for the last five years due to work. It was highly anticipated and looked forward to. It became obvious as soon as we arrived in Southampton to load our luggage on board this was not the same attitude we had received when sailing five years ago on the Arcadia. Not being sure where to place our luggage, Asking the question of a ...

After a first and very successful cruise on Ventura in 2017, my husband and i were immensely looking forward to our 2nd cruise on Britannia in October 2018. We read the reviews; just as we had for Ventura; but dismissed them as there had been bad reviews of Ventura too, but we'd not had a single issue (apart from a minor dislike of the buffet restaurant which we found ...

Ship: Britannia. Cruise Number: B809 Date of Cruise: 8th April 2018. Southampton Ocean Cruise Terminal: After arriving by transfer coach at the designated time we were directed to the cruise terminal.

This is our seventh cruise having used thompson, celebrity, Holland America, and princess in the past and the first year we have felt the need to contribute to the reviews on cruise critic. We were booked onto a 12 night cruise on the Britannia departing from Southampton ocean terminal. The cruise would visit Madeira, La Palma, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, and Lisbon. We were travelling with two ...

we always fly long haul and deciced to try a holiday without flying and driving from kent to southampton and beginning our holiday within 4 hours seemed like a good idea, on arival and seeing the Britania was amazing,(a hotel complex on water ,wow, the ship was massive , it was clean and decorated very nicely,the staff were very nice and very helpful.the cabin was small but very ...

We chose this cruise because we wanted a no-fly cruise. Embarking was relatively easy. We'll start with the cabin. Firstly, we couldn't access the balcony because the door was jammed. Sorted by maintenance, but still very stiff to open throughout the cruise. Also, the balcony was smaller than ones on our previous P&O cruises and was unusable for anything other than standing on. ...

Our First Cruise. Too many people on board, including lots of children,wheelchairs,scooters and walking frames. This made the daytime dining chaos! The evening meals were waiter served. Slow and average.Embarkation slow, disembarkation chaos.The cabin was nice, the entertainment limited and you had to be in the theater at least 30 mins b4 the show to get a seat. Daytime facilities limited, ...

First the good: Dinner in the evening was always excellent, never had a bad meal. The buffet restaurant always had seating where on other cruises we have struggled to get a seat at breakfast and lunch. The Steward for our cabin (D728) Savio was brilliant, was always on hand and ready to help. The shows laid on by the headliners team were brilliant and the guest acts were always ...

I have been cruising for the last 20 years on P&O and other lines (last cruise on Oceana in December), this cruise was picked out by my daughter as it was a strictly come dancing theme along with James Marting cooking school. We consisted of a group of 6. Embarkation was a breeze with all staff members vey helpfull , first impressions of ship smart and modern. Cabin was an adapted cabin on deck ...
