Review summary

4th Time on Britannia- She’s not everyone’s cup of tea but we love her. Food by and large excellent but think MDR experience is slipping a little. Loved Epicurean and Sindu but best food we had all trip was in the Glass House. Staff ascever can’t be faulted- Entertainment was, well entertaining...😀 Ports other than Dominica were great and weather but for the day in Dominica was excellent First time had the use of a suite and although we enjoyed the added room and big balcony won’t rush to spend the extra again Booked Azura next year for a change

Very hard working courteous and friendly staff throughout the ship

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship probably ready for a bit of a refurb looking a little more frayed round the edges but still immaculately clean. Once you get used to lift and stair layouts it’s easy to navigate this big ship

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Large and comfortable with jacuzzi bath separate Walk in Shower and separate toilet balcony has 2-seater sofa. Table with 4 chairs and 2 comfy sun loungers. Only minor Nigel was being at the back it was prone to getting soot. Also some engine vibration at times.

YOU WILL LOVE AZURA. Only down fall you need to take in to. Is she due for a big refit in 2020. So she will be a little run down.
