Review summary
Worse Cruise ever utter shambles no consideration of people who have saved up for trip of life time only to be held hostage unless extra money was used to get you out on there TermsEmbarkation
Waiting first in queue ended up last passengers to Board
Last calls on announcement seconds to go
Reason behind this airport desk couldn’t decide if my wife’s P.C.R test was valid Randox documents considering mine was same
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Food was fine no complaints chefs and waiters worked diligently
Onboard Activities
No outstanding entertainment on board due to social distance acts cancelled due to accident no fault no standby act
Entertainment
First time we haven’t attended all acts same group Pulse with different group members
Service and Staff
Staff worked there socks off always greeted you always doing great job on safety protocol
Room stewards where very attentive to your needs nothing was over looked
Ship Quality
Been aboard this ship few times sailing Caribbean great ship only negative part was there sound system when doing there announcements could only hear them if you open your cabin door to listen that’s if you heard anything before hand
Cabin / Stateroom
Nice Balcony position, empty fridge, room always neat and tidy small balcony
Ship tip
Don’t book with P&O

Ports of call
Disembarkation
Spent most of two weeks aboard ship considering Only allowed to walk on ports unless all excursions booked on board
Last days trying to get Internet to book Another PC.R.tests back home ,form on Passenger Locator Forms to be completed
Not one official asked for these documents just your passport
P&O where quite happy for all of there guests to purchase internet so you could login back home on Government website only to get so far then time run out more money to spend money for L.F.T no refund another payments for P.C.R test even though most including myself Wife Cousin all had Three injections and Flu jab before boarding ship
Disgusting treatment from P&O as they knew we where at their Mercy once we left UK
No attempt too negotiate with Islands officials to fight our case before them we all upheld wearing masks wash hands Sanitise our hands fully vaccinated to no avail on our behalf just Two Week Sunshine Cruise costs thousands of pounds where we could have traveled elsewhere

Sorry you had a bad experience. I have just returned from this ship. Disembarked on the 15th. I found the trip as a whole was great. The trips out were very well organised through p&o. Highlight of the trip was the stingrays in Antigua. The 'free' WiFi that was arranged for the final couple of days so passengers could fill in the plf was difficult to get on but went to the crows nest and staff were happy to help and handed out iPads for passengers to use for free. Only downsides I found of the ship were the immigration when we got back to Barbados was a shambles. No one on the dock to tell anyone where to go once immigration had been completed so they could go on the organised trips. The food was very poor. Best meal was definitely the glass House, or the free pizza on deck. Entertainment wasn't wonderful either. But none of that would put me off going on the Britannia again.

What on earth did you expect on a foreign cruise, going to multiple destinations in the middle of a pandemic?
You can't blame P&O for government restrictions. Every cruise kine would be doing the same..... you would ha e gad more cause for concern if you'd caught covid due to them not following correct procedures!
