Review summary

It's ok for a taster cruise as we had a couple with us who hasn't crossed before and they loved it and want to go on a longer one

Embarkation

4 out of 5
It's ok. I don't think it's a smooth or as quick as RCI or Princess but not too bad

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main dining excellent. The buffet is ok but that's about all.

Peninsular Restaurant

5 out of 5

We had freedom dining and it was excellent

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Only a mini cruise so no time to do any activities.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Show not very good ( at least to our taste) Sailaway music was very poor and lacked atmosphere

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Impeccable as usual.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
I'm not particularly keen on the layout of the Brittania. Too much going from floor then lift then floor to get where you want to go.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Same as anywhere on any ship although balcony seemed a bit smaller than on other ships but comfortable enough with tea and coffee provided. The shower is the best we've ever had on any cruise line.

Ship tip

Take a good book to read on sea days as we've found on here and other p & o ships its a bit boring on sea days. No golf , rock climbing or even much in the way of quizzes that there is on other lines.

Thumbs up
