Being a first time cruiser myself and my friends had no idea what to expect. The Brittania exceeded all of our expectations!.. We had the most amazing experience from the minute we turned up at Southampton.
Embarkation was really well organised and stress free, and from the minute we stepped onboard we felt relaxed and at ease.There were many good points about this cruise but the one thing we ...
Selected this cruise because we wanted to visit the Norwegian fjords, and this suited out schedule. In reviewing this cruise, I am comparing with a previous experience - Celebrity Solstice one week from Barcelona to Tunisia, Italy and France.
Initially embarkation works quite well. We taxied from Southampton airport to terminal where our bags were whisked away from the taxi and delivered to ...
This was our first cruise and we were needless to say looking forward to it but also a little unsure of what to do or what to expect.From the moment we arrived at Southampton everything seemed so easy and so well organised.we use valet parking and our cases and car were sorted with ease by the friendly and helpful parking staff.We were a little early and had to wait in the departure lounge for a ...
Boarding (Arriving to the Terminal to getting to our room):
When we embarked it was a very smooth and good process. We got out the car with out luggage and a porter whipped it away from us to save us the trouble of taking it with us. We then went on into the terminal, upon arriving the required checks were done once it we were ready to go onto get out boarding photos e.t.c we were given a card ...
This was our 2nd cruise with p&o, the 1st on Azura. Brittania is a lovely ship, however very badly designed the lifts are an absoloute nightmare. We travel with our disabled son and spent most of our time waiting for lifts !! however wouldn;t have to wait so long if the able bodied people used the stairs!!!! ( they could walk off the food they ate !! ). The rooms are very modern and good sized but ...
We decided to go on the Britannia to celebrate a 30th Birthday. We didn’t know what to expect because we heard that the entertainment on board was more focused on older people, we have been with Disney many times besides the fact of me being an entertainer and performer for disneyworld and Disney Cruise Line for 8 years. Also, we have cruised with Royal Caribbean and we knew we wouldn’t find a ...
I chose this cruise as the cabins are stylish, it is British in personality, and passengers are allowed to take their own alcohol onboard (1L each, although I did take a bit more onboard with no problems).
My balcony cabin with sofa was not only nice to look at, but so well designed that it felt much larger. The bed was extremely comfortable, the TV had a lot of films to watch, the White ...
We chose this cruise this cruise because we liked the itinerary its was my 60th Birthday I have always wanted yo visit St Petersburg .The negative part of P&O Britannia was the bar staff I found some very homophobic bar staff which made very rude gestures to my partner in the bar that as karaoke .I was not told by my partner until we returned to the UK. He never told me because I would have been ...
We had to unfortunately cancel our original cruise because of health problems so this Cruise was very much last minute for us as we like to book well ahead to get the cabin we want. We enjoyed the Baltic the last time we were there 8 years ago and thought it would be good to visit again.
Having read several reviews earlier we were a little apprehensive but were pleasantly surprised. Britannia ...
Having cruised Iceland and the Med we wanted to see the Baltic states and St Petersburg in particular. We were slightly put off by many critical reviews of Britannia but remembered critical reviews of previous ships which we enjoyed. The balcony cabin was compact but well designed and well looked after by our steward. The food ranged from good to excellent and the waiters were friendly and ...
