Review summary

Britannia is a lovely ship and my wife and I both agree the best in the P&O fleet. We have sailed on a few ships on P&O and other carriers Royal Caribbean, Celebrity X, Cunard and Princess. She is up there as one of the best along with the Royal Princess and of course the QM2. What makes Britannia so special is the all round value for money, the entertainment, the specialist restaurants (Sindu is amazing) as well as the afternoon tea in the Epicurean. The Limelight Club where you have a meal while watching headline acts is really good and would again highly recommend and worth the additional charge. Britannia has some lovely little touches all your photographs on a USB stick for £90 sounds expensive but if you can have a real portfolio of holiday snaps if that is your thing. This includes all the formal night pictures which there was 4 on our cruise. You can have as many pictures as you like. They did a charity event where one guest did the noon Captains announcement from the bridge, again, a lovely touch and all in a good cause. How many other carriers would do this for commercial gain! The staff were friendly and helpful and no exceptions, Simon in Costa Coffee was a real stand out, however everyone goes out their way to say hello and just make you welcome. Finally, P&O are famous for their sail away parties and the Gibraltar one was as special as ever. Brilliant just brilliant, it is nice to see a company not embarrassed to be proud of it's British heritage and to celebrate it. Well done P&O I have tried many ships and carriers, Britannia you have won the Gold medal.
