We were lured onto Britannia as a last minute booking hence we were on a Saver Fare. We had experienced sailing with P & O prior to this booking and to be frank did not feel that this cruise company did not compare with our other cruises on Princess and Royal Caribbean,but felt that the this new vessel coupled with the itinery ticked the box.

Cabin - G730 was our allocated cabin. Lovely spacious cabin on the aft end of the vessel with unrestricted balcony views. Unfortunately unknown to us this cabin was situated directly above the Live Lounge. This resulted in unbearable vibration and sound pervading our cabin. This was resolved after 48 hours and we were moved to C218 which proved to be very acceptable. The company is aware of this problem and we have suggested that this cabin should not be allocated. Check that you don't have this cabin or indeed either side of it! Cabins are clean and comfortable and well serviced by our cabin steward.

Dining - Having booked late we found we were not able to access Freedom Dining before we departed and when we enquired on arrival we were told that Freedom Dining was fully booked. This led us to be allocated second sitting in Club Dining at 8.30pm. This was disasterous for us as 1. We like to eat early 2. We enjoy the company of others for our dining experience, as in the past we have made many friends this way. Read more
