Having cruised with other companies, and after reading reviews about P&O I booked a transatlantic cruise on Britannia. I paid £3,358 for a friend and I.
Firstly let’s start with our cabin! Dust everywhere, a small table covered in ring marks, the bathroom stunk like a dirty old urinal, to the point I was sick due to the smell. We reported everything to reception, again, and again. When they ...

Britannia 4th-18th August 2023 – Cruise B320
Experienced cruises across many lines, third cruise on Britannia
The omens weren’t good when we discovered that Britannia was an hour late docking at Southampton. However, boarding was smooth and our luggage was waiting for as at our cabin, deck 10 midships, a grade HA balcony cabin. We sailed on time and at speed to outrun ...
This is the second time on the Britania, first trip being seven years ago. We really enjoyed our first trip. We still have two nights remaining of our second visit, we can't wait to get home!!!!!!!
We purchased two drinks packages at £479 each. On arriving for our first drinks, I asked for a double Glenmorangie for my wife, I was informed we can only have a single and only one drink every ...
Recommended. Sunbeds were reserved round all pools. Three small smoking areas with no sunbeds only chairs one under cover cold windy & dark with sunny tables that were no smoking?
Hidden extras. Different prices in bars.
Norovirus on ship advised use own toilets meaning having to wait for overcrowded lifts as no stairs run through middle of ship??
Penisular breakfast cold toast brought ...
The worst 2 weeks of our life, this was supposed to be our honeymoon! Where to start...
Firstly we arrived in our balcony cabin to find remaining confetti from someone who must have had the room before us i imagine, no tea bags, coffee or milk available we had to wait 30 mins until someone bought us some.
The first night- major design fault in balcony rooms, balcony doors did nothing but ...
First went on P&O canberra in the 80s' but this new one is not as good as the top class ones we have been on. RCI, Princess, and Holland America are the premier league ones.This new ship is very drab.The passengers who all deserve a holiday age in 80+ if you do not have a wheelchair,scooter,walking wheel frame or walking stick you are in the minority.This is meant to be a family friendly ship? No ...
We selected this ship thinking it would be perfect due to the age and size, and how wrong were we.
Who ever designed the ship needs to have a rethink.
The whole layout is wrong. I felt it is crammed with cabins. Nothing is grand and giving off a wow factor.
The service on the ship is average - nothing special. Staff are not really interested or bothered.
The food in Horizon is just ...
Just saying that there was little fun on this ship to be had apart from for the riotous kids who had taken over the swimming pool. A badly designed ship, with sharp elbows from fellow diners in the self service restaurant. Did they think that there would be nothing left for them? The cabin was good as was the cabin steward. The food was not so good, and the areas cordoned off and charged for ...
Myself and my husband ( with our two children) were sailing for 6 days cruise to Spain ,France and Guernsey.
Before this cruise, we regularly go cruising, with different companies. But we never sailed with PO Cruises before.
Overal I will describe a cruise to be like a boarding school experience with terrible food and really bad service. We had many issues with the service on the cruise, ...
We chose this cruise as a member of my party can only go in school holidays, and having cruised the Baltic on the last one we decided to go for warmth this year. The first disappointment, we were informed before we had even got on the ship that Gibraltar was canceled as they could not berth the ship to to it being very busy on our day of arrival !!!!! should the ship's berth not be booked as soon ...
