Having perused the reviews before we left, I was a bit unsure as to whether my best mate had made the right choice for this one......How wrong I was!!!!
A fantastic ship, with the staff being more than helpful, even when I had an accident and ended up in a wheelchair for the weekend!
The food and service for the whole duration, was second to none, and the prices were more than reasonable. ...
Britannia certainly lives up to her name......Big, Beautiful and British!!
From the moment you step on board and are greeted with the huge 'Starburst' chandelier in reception you know you are about to be 'wowed' in all things British. The Atrium consisiting of three floors.At the bottom with the Market Cafe...a fantastic place to enjoy Charlie Turnbull's selection of cheeses and charcutries...and ...
I had been preparing myself for my 2 night inaugural cruise aboard the P&O Britannia, excitement was upon me and I was counting down the days until I board P&O's biggest accomplishment - The Britannia.
Nothing could quite prepare me entirely for all of the "WOW" moments and how many times I would alert my partner to "look at that" or how many times I would attempt to get the perfect picture at ...
We sailed on the 2 night 1 day shakedown cruise prior to Britannia's maiden 14 day cruise leaving Southampton on March 14th 2015. Britannia is a beautiful ship, stunning restaurants, lovely colours throughout the ship, well designed bar areas and public rooms, a really stunning 3 deck atrium with the starburst flowing down in the centre to all 3 decks.
On our first night our party of four dined ...
Smooth embarkation procedure, luggage awaiting us on arrival at cabin, which was clean and spacious as befits a brand new ship. Pleasant cabin steward. Delayed departure and somewhat confusing boat drill, no roll call ,
could have easily avoided it. Departure party on deck lively but bars completely disorganised waited for 15 minutes for glass of wine, apparently had no glasses. Counted 9 ...
This was our first cruise with P & O and we had been looking forward to it very much. We travelled with 5 other member of our family celebrating our parents 60th Wedding Anniversary. Our parents had never set foot on a cruise ship before so this was their big adventure. We have cruised with both Thomson and NCL before. We had high expectations and generally we were very happy with our ...
Picked a mini cruise as a cheaper alternative than flying to Bruges (with airport travel, hotels etc it's very affordable method to just take the mini-cruise!). We've been on Azura for a week to Norway so knew what to expect. Plus we had a £100 voucher to use up.
So-- it's good, considering what you pay. Having an inside cabin (what's the point of a balcony on such a short trip?), we were please ...
We have just returned from a 2 night cruise to Zeebrugge, we had a wonderful time but there were some disappointing bits
The good bits
Entertainment was fantastic, especially Josh Adams and a group with a fantastic girl singer
Lovely large evening venues where you sit at a table and watch or dance to the live acts
Cabins very nice with comfortable beds
Drinks and cocktails very reasonable ...
This cruise was booked as a joint stag/hen party. My son proposed to his girlfriend on this 2 day cruise to Bruge last year and she accepted. The wedding is in 3 weeks. They decided they'd like a joint cruise again with all their mates and some of the family to celebrate. The ages ranged from about 20 to 60, and a great time was had by all!!!
Me and my husband have cruised a few times ...
We booked primarily to vist the Christmas Market in Bruges and see Russell Watson in a cabaret setting.
Arrived and went through a tedious check in process for our £400 a night suite. Once checked in we were informed that the Bruges leg was off because of the weather conditions, bear in mind this is an ocean going cruise liner and the captain said in his letter it could be difficult to ...
