We chose this cruise as it was visiting Guernsey which we had never visited before, We also wanted to experience one of P&O best suites on their flag ship.
Gurensey was wonderful and I highly recommended for a visit.
Unfortunately the standard of the suite was extremely disappointing, The inside of the shower cabinet was disgusting with mold and discolored yellow grout between the tiles, the ...
This was our first cruise and sadly it didn’t start well with 6 hours delay on Embarking. This was described by P&O as a “slight” delay who offered a £20 onboard credit by way of a very limited compensation.
Our room was not entirely clean with items left behind from the previous occupants and dirty marks on the pillowcase. Our steward did swap out the pillowcase when I asked him to do so and ...
Norwegian fjords on Britannia in May, great weather overall. Ports and excursions great.
Embarkation was smooth although delayed 2 hours. disembarkation was chaotic due to arriving late due to issues with Britannia and then coinciding with a Take That concert in Southampton. The area around the port was absolutely chaotic. We were due originally to be leaving ship at 09:45am and got off ...
Positives... arriving at Southampton it was easy to embark as we had already checked in online no waiting straight on board.
Our cabin steward introduced herself (Rona) when we were able to get into our cabin, she was excellent very friendly & helpful.
The cabin was clean and fairly spacious with plenty of room for our clothes.
We had booked freedom dining and found it easy to get a ...
We booked a family cruise, 4 adults and an 18 month old, we had two superior balcony cabins of which we could not fault. Our cabin man Romel was amazing, as was the lady that did my son’s cabin. The car drop off and embarkation was easy and very quick, the cases were outside our cabins when we reached them.
Sadly getting around the ship was incredibly difficult with a buggy as the lifts were ...
We chose this cruise to fit in with our grandchildren’s Easter break. Having returned to P&O after a few years break cruising with other lines we cruised on Aurora for 10 days last December. We really enjoyed that cruise so we were looking forward to a weeks cruise on Britannia with the family. We checked in on line and boarded with no wait which was excellent, however most people hadn’t used on ...
I boarded Britannia for its France, Spain and Guernsey highlights.
Embarkation was smooth for all guests, luggage attendants extremely helpful. And check in staff to security personal where to the highest standards.
On boarding Britannia I was greeted by friendly onboard social hostesses, who dealt with enquires in a very pleasant manner.
The overall appearance is a finely and articulate ...
Myself, partner and parents in law went on this trip as it suited all of us with the timing and leaving the UK. I've cruised a lot almost entirely Cunard with a couple of CMV, this was our first P&O for all of us.
We would go back on P&O if the right deal came up but wouldn't seek it out. Couldn't really work out where it was trying to fit in.
Food / Dining
We both had inside cabins, ...
Having read many reviews before I got a bit concerned about the cruise, of course every review written is based on the experience of the writer and of opinion varies, here are some brief points based on my experience-
Food- variety good, quality and heat could be improved
Entertainment- mixed, think some elements could be pushed further with no extra cost by thinking beyond what people are ...
We booked the cruise for our honeymoon to the Caribbean. Not wanting to be straight in the sun we did an Atlantic crossing of 10 days at sea.
The ship is very nice but the activities where boring and repetitive. The food is lovely and the house keeping staff couldn't do enough for you. However the entertainment team looked like they had been struck with a sickness bug and had no energy. The ...
