Britannia Cruise Reviews - Reviews

This was a 4 night cruise with no ports of call which was ideal for us.

Had a lovely time on Britannia - great itinerary service food BUT when i went to book seats on the flight for the 4 people in my party so we could sit on an 8 hour flight together was greeted with a £20 per person each way charge ! When i complained to Cruise 118 all they wanted to do was blame P&O as it was their fee - Cruise 118 did not tell me about it when i booked . The flight was a charter so they spent endless time trying to flog stuff to you as well  [ Thompson's ] Lesson learned - ask stuff you do not think to when you book !  

enjoyed the days at sea, Pontefract Delgada very pleasant. st Martin, st Kitts, Grenada, Barbados wonderful didn't like Dominica at all so got back on ship. Food in Horizon amazing we didn't bother eating anywhere else. the live lounge resident band Pulse brilliant.

as this was our first time on a transatlantic cruise were  very pleased with the way the ship handled the storm we sailed through and the many activities provided which kept us busy throughout the cruise

Overall a good holiday , lovely ship , clean ,good food ,good dining & cabin service.

Not so impressed with the evening entertainment , only 3 production shows ,which for 15 nights wasn't enough. A lot of individual performers were fair but not as good as I've experienced on other ships.

Evening activities seemed to clash with late dining , so we missed quiet a lot of the quizzes.

Gengeral pool staff uninterested .lots of glasses , towels ,plates left lying about into the evening around the pool area, very untidy .

Bought a soft drinks package ,only a choice of 4 drinks ,tonic, lemonade ,coke & Diet Coke.Unable  to get Tonic at certain bars , if you purchase a drinks package you should be able to get all drinks at all the bars.

Soot on the chairs & deck areas at the back of the ship, resulting in dirty clothes that had to have special cleaning as a general wash wouldn't remove the marks.

Reception advised us to give to the cabin steward ,who would have the items cleaned with no charge.

Never say never , Britannia is a lovely ship ,but I do think something's need attention.

We were a little apprehensive as it was are 1st cruise..........But we were both blown away by the whole 15 days..........Service,Food,Entertainment was 1st class.

Apart from Feeding and drinking and putting ourselves to bed P&O did everything for us.

We loved being Beach bums during the day and Then dressing up for The Evenings.

We did freedom Dining which was a good choice as you could plan your Evening around 2 Shows.

We will be definitely booking another cruise.

My Favorite act was the Eric and Ern show. 

Big Thanks To P&O For a great Cruise.

Best part of the cruise was the quality of the food and the courteous staff    We had the cabin on top of the bridge which allowed us forward views and a large patio..

Not too keen on sharing tables at dinner, had to arrive early to get a single table waiting staff and food was impressive.

We would NOT recommend this ship to anyone who is used to some style and comfort. We had a mini suite mid ship on deck 15 for three weeks, the noise from above was shear hell! It was like being in a tin can and they were unable to move us as the ship was full.

Although initally disapointed with Britannia, I grew to love it, never felf crowded, always somewhere to sit and relax. Food OK but not spectacular, got fed up with the P&O Classics on the menu every night! Entertainment OK, loved the Limelight Club, Jaki Graham and Madeline Bell amazing, best two nights of the cruise.

Cabin small but comfortable with everything you need, cabin steward very helpful and efficient. Ports good, excursions good value for money and well organised.

Hated the sailaway parties!

Excellent we both enjoyed it all. Loved the ship, the room, the food, entertainment ports, F&B staff.

Have already recommended it to others.

Hope to sail again soon

It was the first time we had driven down to Southampton, we had always travelled by coach , but it was organised perfectly . Our favourite stop was Cadiz.

Stunning.

Britannia 6 out of 10;

Dining:

food and service was superb 100% recommend the limelight club well worth the supplement. Buffet  worst culprits people  for not washing their hands

Entertainment:

Theatre too smal.

We had a fantastic time such a great atmosphere on board and great ports of call

An excellent cruise on an excellent ship with exceptional staff.

Great cruise, if disabled and using electric scooter, be careful to ensure excursion coaches are exactly suitable for your needs !!

This was our second cruise on Britannia, in the same cabin grade. In fact, on our last cruise we stayed next door in B719, an identical accessible cabin, but with the layout reversed. On this cruise we were celebrating my retirement and brought along our three adult children and their partners. They all had balcony cabins in the same grade, on deck 11 (D). This cruise was a good choice for our needs, particularly the first time cruisers. Accessibility was good and the crew were excellent.

Great cruise again with fab staff. Love the formal nights as well as the more casual evenings - it's all part of the fun!

Visited nice places , awful food onboard, very packed even tho it was 80% full . Won’t be going with P&O for a while .

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.

Overall the cruise was very good the weather was exceptionally good for April. Couldn't get in any of the specialty resturants. The App is annoying as you have to book your shows and breakfast and dinner in the resturants and there can be a wait. The buffet was fine but very busy on sea days. Get to the theatre early as even when you book you may not get in. Everything was much improved on last summer but cruising as we knew it pre pandemic is over. Despite the covid protocol and my constant hand washing,sadly I tested positive this morning for covid. 😷🤒
