Britannia Review

Additional details
I have been wanting to see London, and also Norway (The Fiords) for quite awhile. I was going to do a land tour, but since my health is now working against me sometimes, I realize that I need to slow down (74ys), and a widower on top of it. I love the people of Great Britain as they are polite and have a special way to be proud, so I put all of that together and I decided to sail on the newest ship and also visit the Norway coast and Fiords. I arrived early so I could spend 4 days visiting London and having a great time. I had to find a way to get to Southampton, but it is only about 2 to 2 1/2 hours from my hotel near the Victoria Bus Station to the station in Southampton in a comfortable bus.
The crew of the ship were polite and efficient and took my luggage and got me on the ship very fast. The ship was beautiful, and my table mates were so nice, as they were from all over England, but did not hesitate to include me in all the festivities.
The entertainment was excellent and the music and dancing was just wonderful. The food gave me a chance to sample British style, and I really loved it.
Cabin Review
I was at the rear of the ship in an inside cabin. I like it always as it is dark and I sleep better. the interior was nice and fresh and of course the bathroom and shower were great. No matter when I turned on the water.... I could get hot water.! The stewards were polite and friendly. Also, amazing there were no engine noises or shaking at all. Gotta love the British!!
Port Reviews
Southampton
I took tours every day from the same bus terminal every day and covered most of England, from one day the north, then the center, and finally the east. Enjoyed meeting other travelers from many countries on the buses.
