Review summary

After waiting 3 years to resume cruising and having our Fjord cruise on Aurora cancelled 9 weeks before, Britannia was not a choice that I had ever considered previously but we thoroughly enjoyed our time on board.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Well organised and efficient. People arriving before their embarkation time slowed the process.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The quality of food was good but some menu’s didn’t offer much variation.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

We didn’t participate in many onboard activities.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Headliners Theatre

5 out of 5

The Headliners on this cruise where absolutely fantastic.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

The staff aboard Britannia where very polite, friendly and helpful. Sometimes the service in the restaurant was a little slow, but we all have to start somewhere and I think the waiting staff where only just starting out.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The absence of a midship staircase above deck 6 was greatly noticed especially when you only needed to go down one or two decks. The standard of cleanliness was up to P&O’s usual high standard.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Ship tip

Use the app, it is brilliant.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

Cannot fault the disembarkation procedure at all. We had been given the time of 9:40. The weather was great so we sat out on deck waiting for our time to arrive. At 9:15 the message over the speaker system asked for everyone to make their way to the gangway as disembarkation had gone extremely well and only a few people still remained on the ship. The luggage hall was virtually empty when we arrived so that didn’t hold us up either.
