Caribbean Transatlantic from Southampton

Sail date: October 26, 2018

Ship: Britannia

Cabin type: Balcony

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 5 years ago

Review summary

Britannia is only duited to people that spend their days drinking and are rowdy. Not families that enjoy socialising , meeting new people, good entertainment and a quieter life style. Apart from visiting ports and seeing other countries it has nothing to offer

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Entertainment

1 out of 5

It was like butlins holiday camp on deck. The theatre was the poorest yet and we have been on 7+cruises

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Staff were excellent but cabin steward was not fussed with doing his job

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Public areas were spotless and design was good

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

The cabin was comfortable but dirty hence the above comment. The drawers were dirty with hair and crumbs in them. The dressing table had not seen a duster prior to or during our cruise. I moved the drinks tray to show the dirt and it was still there 14 days later. This would never have happened in years gone by

Ship tip

Go on another ship and avoid Britannia

I’ve been several times and for you to say it’s only for the rowdy is completely wrong. I have never even come across someone drunk on the ship before!! We go as a family with kids and every single time we meet lots of other families and make friends that we always talk to after the cruise! Maybe it was your family that we’re the antisocial ones. This review is completely absurd!

What it's coming down to sawejama. Your not allowed to give a negative review on this ship. As the cash pigs that keep her going don't like it. Wouldn't think we was allowed free speech😂😂😂

Looking at all the reviews on this ship i think that sewjama and skills are very much in the minority. Out of 4000 passengers there are always going to be a few picky ones and moaners

Been on this ship and must say i can't agree with any of your comments. Its average review rating is 4.5 stars so you must be very picky or a natural moaner
