Southampton P&O Britannia Cruise Reviews

Our cases were whisked off by the porters as soon as we arrived, not to be seen again until we got to our cabin which was a good start. Embarkation was delyed due to technical issues but once underway proceeded smoothly. The ship is beautiful; with elegant and classy decor. Our cabin was perfectly adequate, though the bathroom small - however it was functional and again spotless. Indeed, the whole ...

Just got back from our recent cruise on Britannia, and have to say it was a beautiful ship and to be honest have been taken aback with the unfair criticism of both the decor, entertainment, food and service of the staff which I felt where excellent and up to the usual P&O standards. Have to say though when I was looking around saw a lot of glum faces you wouldn't believe they where on board a ...

The one bad part of this holiday was embarkation. The IT systems failed numerous times and as a result passengers were kept waiting. Would have been nice to get free drinks and a snack as we had been in Southampton from early morning and didn't embark until 4.30. However, once on board the holiday and cruise really began! Our bags were waiting for us and the muster was simple and well ...

Just returned from a wonderful cruise on Britannia. Very concerned before the holiday as there were so many negative reviews for the ship and having previously cruised several times with NCL's freestyle relaxed, please yourself, approach we were concerned that P&O might be over-stuffy for us. We need not have worried and we cannot understand why people find so much to moan about. As on all ...

Having read mixed reviews on Britannia, I went with an open mind. Having been on many cruises with various cruise lines, I was extremely impressed with this ship. We had an inside cabin which was perfectly adequate, good wardrobe space and very comfy bed. The bathroom was small but I liked the shower. Kept spotlessly clean by steward. We were on 2nd sitting and had great service by our ...

My family and I found Britannia to be an absolutely beautiful ship with service to match (and yes I have cruised several times before so I do have something to compare it with)!! We found the service in the Restaurants and Bars to be first class, the staff were friendly and obliging and nothing was too much trouble - everything done with a smile! The Horizon Buffet was always very busy for ...

What can I say first off embarkation was indeed different from other ships we had been on but as we boarded half an hour early than was advertised on our documents we was pleased. However there was an issue with some high winds that caused a delay for some, which although frustrating the system employed would of worked for the good but for an act of God. The cabin we had was an inside cabin ...

We have just stepped off Britannia this morning following a short trip to Guernsey . WOW WOW WOW !!! This ship does not dissapoint Most beautiful ship with opulent deco I booked this last year (on the same day we disembarked from Azura) since then we have been aboard Aurora and Explorer of the sea. We arrived early as we are very close to Southampton. Sometimes it pays off and ...

My wife and I have just returned from a cruise to La Rochelle, Bilbao, La Coruna and Guernsey aboard Britannia. We thought that after some six months of service, any " teething troubles" would have been resolved. We thought right ! Most aspects of our cruise were excellent. Lifts which have been a source of problems in the past did not affect us at all. The service, food and entertainment were as ...

After cruising with P&O for the very first time last year on the Oceana (had a great experience) we decided to book another cruise on Britannia this year and wow what a inspired decision it proved to be, great facilities, staff, service, balcony suite, restaurant(oriental) excellent. Although this was only our second cruise I do know when i get good service or not and the service was EXCEPTIONAL. ...
