Review summary

I have been on Britannia twice and both trips were great. Some people did not like the ship but it is like marmite you either love it or hate it and I love it. I enjoyed most of the excursions but I found the crowds at St Catherine Palace were such that we queued for an hour which was made even worse by the heavy rain. The food on the ship was good and our waiter made dinner in the Peninsular Restaurant a wonderful experience. The only gripe about food was in the Horizon buffet where the choice at dinner was poor. Overall though this was a wonderful trip.

Spoilt by the weather and building work. Hop on bus enabled us to see some of the town through steamed up windows.
