P&O Britannia Cruise Reviews

This was our first cruise since the pandemic having previously sailed with P&O 8 times and Celebrity cruises 5 times. Our last cruise was August 2019 on the Celebrity EDGE and this was our 3rd cruise on Britannia having sailed on her when she was new in 2015 and again in 2017. We have always had an aft cabin on Britannia in the past and this time we opted for. We had read many comments about ...

The Britannia is a good ship. Cannot fault the service. Balcony room was compact but met our needs. Balcony a little small, particularly when you want to sit there for an extended period. Entertainment was quite good and theatre was first class but other cruise lines have had more exceptional singers and dancers. One female singer and two male dancers stood out. Limited solo and group acts. ...

We chose this ship because the itinerary to Scandinavia sounded interesting and not an area we had been to before. On arrival in Southampton there were horrendous queues outside the terminal and we took 2 hours to board the ship. This was not P & O's fault as there had been an accident in Southampton but why were we not allowed into the terminal so at least we had somewhere to sit. We have ...

We chose this because of the price largely, it was cheaper than an 2 week holiday to Lanzarote at the same time. It was a good choice. We'd been on P&O Oceana about 11 years ago for a Christmas cruise and the experience was just appalling, and we said never again. However a couple of friends recommended this ship, and largely they were right. P&O try to big up the fact that they major on the ...

Cruised with P&O a total of 10 times as well as a few Marella and Princess cruises, and this was by far the worst experience we have had with P&O. Their whole ethos appears to be to cut costs at the expense of the level of service. Food choices in the buffet and dining rooms were very limited - usually about 3 or 4 dishes max. If you have any kind of dietary need, then tough luck - you would ...

We chose this cruise and booked it a year before and due to the wonderful itinerary this was the clincher. Embarkation was superb but getting to the terminal was an awful experience as Southampton, once again, was completely gridlocked. We went to our room on deck 15 and were both immediately underwhelmed. The carpet was stained, several chips out of the bath, furniture especially on the ...

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 ...

We are experienced cruisers but this was our first P&O sailing. My sister uses a power chair and we were booked in to an accessible cabin. We arrived at Southampton on an Intercruises coach from Wetherby - an easy experience and would recommend. Boarding was fairly swift, but once on board we joined what could only be described as chaos. We went to our muster station, and then to our cabin. ...

Please don’t be put off by all the moaning grumpy reviews, P&O offer incredible value for money and you have to take that into account. We had an absolute whale of a time and to be honest couldn’t believe what we got for how little we paid. Do not be put off if you see a really good deal for P&O as it’s well worth it. (Generally I think the people who are prepared to pay the least are the very ...

I have just completed a cruise on Britannia to Spain and Portugal. The cruise overall was fantastic and as such I have booked another on Britannia in June. A more detailed breakdown of the pros/cons are below; Itinerary - I enjoyed every port we visited, especially Lisbon. The ship docked in each city and no shuttle bus needed. Ship - The ship is large and was fully booked. However, it was ...
