Summary
We cruised on Britannia in Feb 16, cruise B604, and had followed the negative reviews on Cruise Critic with some concern prior to travel. Given our very enjoyable cruise, I thought I would try to re-dress the balance by providing a full review of the many aspects of Britannia my wife and I experienced.
Overall we felt Britannia met our high expectations of a new large ship and we were very happy with virtually all aspects of the cruise.
Walked into Bridgetown to explore on our own hen onto Dover Beach for the afternoon. Found a great guy renting sunbeds for $5 each and organised drinks for us when we wanted.
Walked around St George and explored on foot then shared a taxi island tour ending up on Grande Anse beach for 3 hours. Taxi driver collected us on request and returned us to ship.
Walked around Willenstad before taking a island tour, which included the Curacao distillery.
Explored Oranjestad on foot before taking a Regae Bus Island Tour finishing on the beach.
Took a shared taxi to Cane Garden Beach. Beach very busy as recommended by P&O but still enjoyed very much despite the short sharp rain shower. Great pain killer cocktails!
Took a shared taxi island tour, which took in all the main sights including Orient Beach, Marigot and Maho Beach.
Absolutely loved Antigua! Fantastic shard taxi tour of the island including Shirley Heights and Nelsons Dockyard.
Took a shared taxi island tour, which was enjoyable.
