Review summary

Britannia is showing its age, which is a shame for a flagship. The staff are wonderful though which more than makes up for it.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
We were travelling with family who are in a high loyalty tier, and we were able to embark at the same time as them.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Poolside Pizzeria

3 out of 5

Pizza was burnt on the bottom but otherwise fine

The Beach House

5 out of 5

Absolutely exemplary. I was concerned as I know it's a corner of the buffet, but it's basically made into an entirely separate menu. Delicious, authentic food with a very reasonable cover charge

Peninsular Restaurant

4 out of 5

Second best MDR, perfectly acceptable and nice staff

Lido Grill

5 out of 5

Amazing burgers and even better fries

Meridian Restaurant

5 out of 5

We loved the Meridian and it was our favourite MDR

Oriental Restaurant

3 out of 5

We had breakfast here once, the food was fine but the atmosphere felt a little dark for our tastes

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
The ship is like a maze and for a flagship, it's definitely showing its age

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Don't love the set-up as you can't sit up in bed without turning the lights off

Ship tip

Look at the signs onboard, it's like a maze

How was it showing it’s age? Worn carpets? Chipped furniture? Old design?
