P&O Britannia Cruise Reviews for Gourmet Food to the Eastern Caribbean

Tl;dr: Britannia is the ship for people who want the cruise experience while forgetting they're on a ship; beautifully decorated but strangely designed and lacking the service level you'd expect if you've previously sailed with P&O (though I want to believe this is due to specific problems P&O are currently facing which will be resolved in time). The flight to Barbados and embarkation process ...

We had already cruised the Caribbean on 2 previous occasions but with Princess Cruises. We wanted to return to this destination for a third time as it is so beautiful and we chose P&O as they were offering a good rate. We got off to a poor start. Arriving at Bridgetown Cruise Terminal we had to stay on board our hot and stuffy coach for 2 hours while the ship was turned round due to a broken ...

We got a very good last minute deal on Britannia otherwise P&O wouldn’t have been our first pick to cruise with. If the itinerary, weather and local people hadn’t have been so brilliant we’d have been totally gutted! Food was a major disappointment. Really small portions of bland and under seasoned food in the MD Rooms. Buffet was the smallest offering I’ve ever seen at sea! First time we’ve ...

I picked this cruise as I saw it was flying from Glasgow as well as going to Bonaire, Curacao & St Vincent which are 3 islands I hadn't been to. I booked it through a travel agent as I saw it in the window. I wont be doing that again for sure. I am a solo traveler and I booked this cruise in October 2021. The price I paid wasn't particularly cheap but I thought it was the price others possibly ...

this was supposed to be a special holiday cruise for our 50th wedding anniversary and our first cruise. ( and our last ) wi i very expensive £15.80 per day . i tried it for one day it worked for 30 minutes then could not get it back again many people had the same problem . plus they also charged me for a 3 appliance package of £50.80 they did refund me the £15.80 but not the £50.80. ...

I chose this cruise because of the destinations and because of a person's recommendation. Unfortunately it was a disaster. We arrived late on New Years Eve so had no time to change - we had the evening meal in the buffet and we were not asked if we wanted a drink of wine or beer - we could get water from a machine. 1st January - we went to the dining room as it was a black tie night - ...

Food was poor and we resorted to paying extra but to no avail Poor food, Shockingly poor service, management admitted staff were not trained. Expect to wait upto 40 minutes for a drink Ran out of bear half way through Formal nights expect people in shorts and flip flops Entertainment is either by video or cheap pub entertainment- seriously nothing special or luxurious as advertised ...

This was our first P&O fly cruise – the festive Caribbean Christmas Cruise, departing from Birmingham on Dec 16th for 2 weeks. We have cruised with P&O before, but a long time ago, we more frequently cruise with Princess & Royal Caribbean. We were attracted by the itinerary on offer & the fact that it was a fly/cruise package. I did quite a lot of research on CruiseCritic (thanks again to ...

Have cruised with P&O since 2004, and can unhappily say that this cruise was the most disappointing and not up to the standards I expected. On the plus side, it is still an advantage to have the flights included which means you don't have to collect your luggage at the arrival airport, you are taken straight from the plane to the port, next time you see your luggage is in your cabin, and on ...

Currently still cruising and on our last two days in the Carribean, have cruised with P&O since 2010, this is our final time with them. The take it our leave it attitude is awful, make a complaint and no-one follows up on it, cancel trips at a moments notice because of not enough uptake by passengers so it's not worth their while running... never mind the customer who is looking forward too and ...
