Birthday cruise. Boarded coach from Manchester Airport to Southampton. Best to be said for coach station was disorganised chaos. Eventually board coach for a pleasant journey to Southampton. Embarkation was easy and efficient. Found cabin which was a nice sized balcony cabin. Was quite clean (seals around shower where dirty and mouldy but cabin steward cleaned these once pointed ...

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary to the Mediterranean and possibility to do this in summer holiday period. We love to sail from Southampton because of its variety of destinations (last year we did cruise from Southampton to Iceland and Greenland with Princess) Embarkation same as the disembarkation went very smoothly no comments there. The fellow passengers were as you would ...

We chose this cruise for the company - we thought P & O would be a fabulous experience, and the itinerary. The itinerary was great. Possibly one too many sea days and they could have squeezed in another port definitely. But overall the itinerary was OK. Cadiz is beautiful and well worth a visit. Toulon is also a lovely place to go and possibly better than Marseilles which was our original ...

I was really looking forward to my first Med cruise in 3 years but I was very disappointed with this cruise. Britannia herself is clean and tidy enough but I really miss having a proper prom deck to walk around - for most of the cruise, exits to prom deck were closed off. I used The Retreat most days and while it was a bonus having a quiet, adult only area, it looked very tired - ripped beds, ...

Don't be fooled by the basic cruise price - There's much more to come once on board

We are a recently retired couple who enjoy cruising and have cruised on many of the major cruise lines. We picked this one as it was just before the Summer peak period ( We didn't know it was half term in England ) and we were looking for a bit of sun and relaxation. First the pros. The ship is still beautiful despite being 7 years old. Our stateroom was kept immaculately clean . Our attendant ...

Everything average. Buffet very disappointing. Not much variety and could be hotter. More Like a works canteen. Staff always pleasant and cannot be faulted but P&O cannot hide the fact that they are trying to get back the financial loss due to COVID. Internet access £ 90 !! on some lines it is free. I don't know how they can justify that. Enjoyable cruise but P&O can't hide the fact ...

You can't blame Covid for everything.

Love this ship and have cruised on her pre Covid. Have also travelled twice on Iona post Covid. There are several things all these cruises have in common, the reasons given are the Covid effect, which no longer makes any sense. The staff are still wonderful, albeit none of them looked particularly happy, possibly due to many of them having been seconded from a previously cancelled cruise on ...

Having had to cancel our 40 th anniversary plans twice, my wife got us booked on Brittania again! We've sailed on her 2 yrs ago in the Caribbean. Overall impression back then good but to big for us! This cruise? Still to big but what a difference in quality ( read lack of) in no particular order! Entertainment pretty good overall but why did the sound have to so loud it distorted the music? ...

Positives... arriving at Southampton it was easy to embark as we had already checked in online no waiting straight on board. Our cabin steward introduced herself (Rona) when we were able to get into our cabin, she was excellent very friendly & helpful. The cabin was clean and fairly spacious with plenty of room for our clothes. We had booked freedom dining and found it easy to get a ...

We wanted to visit Madeira and Lisbon so we chose this canary island cruise and booked one year in advance.The sailing was smooth and the cabins were of a reasonable size.The ship was in good condition and clean.The problem was that there were too many people and this made it very difficult to get into a lift.We were on level 11 so needed the lift.This meant waiting a long time to find space in ...
