Europe Britannia Europe Cruise Reviews

Birthday cruise. Boarded coach from Manchester Airport to Southampton. Best to be said for coach station was disorganised chaos. Eventually board coach for a pleasant journey to Southampton. Embarkation was easy and efficient. Found cabin which was a nice sized balcony cabin. Was quite clean (seals around shower where dirty and mouldy but cabin steward cleaned these once pointed ...

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary to the Mediterranean and possibility to do this in summer holiday period. We love to sail from Southampton because of its variety of destinations (last year we did cruise from Southampton to Iceland and Greenland with Princess) Embarkation same as the disembarkation went very smoothly no comments there. The fellow passengers were as you would ...

We enjoyed our cruise on Britannia. The dining room food was decent but a little repetitive. The buffet however was dreadful, the worst I've had on a cruise ship. Beating MSC which I never thought would be possible. Everything tasted bland and ultra-processed. I mean you have Indian chefs, why are the curries not cooked fresh? I'm pretty sure they use tinned curries. Finding fruit and vegetables ...

So, right off the bat, I’m gonna say we judge cruises by the value we perceive i.e. for the money we paid. So for us, for what we paid, we enjoyed this cruise and felt it was a positive one. We needed a break and this fitted with the time we were available to travel. We booked late and got a great deal. If we’d paid full price, we might not have considered it in such a positive light. We’ve ...

I am just back from a fantastic 5 day Easter Weekend cruise on Britannia which is my second sailing on her, having sailed Britannia in 2021. Although I have had a great cruise I feel P&O are completely neglecting Britannia and all the money has been pumped into Arvia and Iona. She really does need some TLC but most importantly a HUGE focus on cleanliness. On my last sailing I had no ...

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 chose this cruise for the company - we thought P & O would be a fabulous experience, and the itinerary. The itinerary was great. Possibly one too many sea days and they could have squeezed in another port definitely. But overall the itinerary was OK. Cadiz is beautiful and well worth a visit. Toulon is also a lovely place to go and possibly better than Marseilles which was our original ...

I was really looking forward to my first Med cruise in 3 years but I was very disappointed with this cruise. Britannia herself is clean and tidy enough but I really miss having a proper prom deck to walk around - for most of the cruise, exits to prom deck were closed off. I used The Retreat most days and while it was a bonus having a quiet, adult only area, it looked very tired - ripped beds, ...

We are a recently retired couple who enjoy cruising and have cruised on many of the major cruise lines. We picked this one as it was just before the Summer peak period ( We didn't know it was half term in England ) and we were looking for a bit of sun and relaxation. First the pros. The ship is still beautiful despite being 7 years old. Our stateroom was kept immaculately clean . Our attendant ...

We chose this cruise because it went from Southampton, we are not happy to fly at present. Embarkation was an absolute breeze. The ship looks fantastic a real gem. Every member of staff you meet smiles and goes out their way for you they really do emphasise customer service particularly Joseph in the atrium bar he was just omg far to good at looking after everyone. The layout of the ...
