Review summary
First of all, Britannia, I have read many reviews about the ship, It does have it's faults however, generally it is a thing of beauty, the superior balcony cabin we had was beautiful and I've never said that about a cabin before, but it was just as well as we spent most, and I mean most of the cruise in it.
Fjords Cruise, we actually saw One Fjord and that, only if you were up at 2.00am to transit it inwards and missed your dinner and the show to see the outbound transit !!!
Yes, the weather was not P&O's fault, and it was bad, but ,in my opinion, the ports of call were not fit for purpose with the exception of Stavanger and Bergen.
The cruise title is a complete misnomer and I note they are still running this B717 cruise through next year.
I heard so many complaints about the itinerary from other cruisers it was ridiculous.
When you look at the itinerary description in the brochure they have been very clever and I have told them so in my feedback form so that we have no recourse for breach of contract. but. I really do not understand why P&O seem to be following a CHEAP, for them, itinerary and charging top dollar to it's customers.

Ship tip
Go to breakfast and lunch early, and be aware that the lifts system is totally overwhelmed at all times , so you need to leave plenty of time to get around, especially for dinner.
