Review summary

We were a party of 14 in total celebrating a big birthday. We had a fantastic time and went on some days our own ways. Some of the parties are regular cruisers and found the cabins small on Brittania compared to older fleet ships. All enjoyed the food at the dining rooms, glasshouse, beach house and the lime light club. We did not try the epicurean etc this time. I found the self service buffet food not as good as previously whether because it had been standing a bit, baked beans very watery, bacon hard, but ok if you are in a rush. Made more use of the resteraunts so cannot comment on food at teatime and night. Loved it staff brill

Taxi to beach to cloudy for snorkling where the red telephone box is situated. Can’t see the phone box where you are dropped off it’s about a 10 min walk turn left. No free wifi where we were dropped off. Vendors charging 5 dollars per person. Tip use one mobile turn it into a hot spot slow but at least 5 can share save 25 usd esp if you have teens.
