Southampton to Europe P&O Britannia Cruise Reviews

Having cruised with other companies, and after reading reviews about P&O I booked a transatlantic cruise on Britannia. I paid £3,358 for a friend and I. Firstly let’s start with our cabin! Dust everywhere, a small table covered in ring marks, the bathroom stunk like a dirty old urinal, to the point I was sick due to the smell. We reported everything to reception, again, and again. When they ...

Rust in Peace Britannia 4th-18th August 2023 – Cruise B320 Experienced cruises across many lines, third cruise on Britannia The omens weren’t good when we discovered that Britannia was an hour late docking at Southampton. However, boarding was smooth and our luggage was waiting for as at our cabin, deck 10 midships, a grade HA balcony cabin. We sailed on time and at speed to outrun ...

I chose this cruise after sailing on P & O Iona. The ship was nice and the food was acceptable. Unfortunately I believed the standard of the food would the same in Brittania. How wrong I was! The same pre-prepared slop was served up almost daily. There was hardly any fresh fruit and no tempting displays of any sort of food which was very repetitive. I have no criticism of my balcony cabin however ...

Chose this ship after going on Iona which was OK but Brittania is by far the worst ship I have ever had the misfortune of being on. Bad attitude from many crew members but the worst part is the food. Low quality slop served every day which is more than disappointing. If you want a nice cruise with good quality food give this ship a very wide bearth. Disgusting food every day. Tasteless desserts, ...

If you have cruised on any other major cruise lines, then you will be disappointed with the P & O Britrania. The Horizon buffet (Main buffet on the ship) is appalling. Limited choice, bland food and repetitive, people just walk around with an empty plate just trying to find anything they can put on their plate. The main dining room is basic food and again very repetitive. If you just want ...

Cruised with P&O a total of 10 times as well as a few Marella and Princess cruises, and this was by far the worst experience we have had with P&O. Their whole ethos appears to be to cut costs at the expense of the level of service. Food choices in the buffet and dining rooms were very limited - usually about 3 or 4 dishes max. If you have any kind of dietary need, then tough luck - you would ...

We chose this cruise and booked it a year before and due to the wonderful itinerary this was the clincher. Embarkation was superb but getting to the terminal was an awful experience as Southampton, once again, was completely gridlocked. We went to our room on deck 15 and were both immediately underwhelmed. The carpet was stained, several chips out of the bath, furniture especially on the ...

This is the second time on the Britania, first trip being seven years ago. We really enjoyed our first trip. We still have two nights remaining of our second visit, we can't wait to get home!!!!!!! We purchased two drinks packages at £479 each. On arriving for our first drinks, I asked for a double Glenmorangie for my wife, I was informed we can only have a single and only one drink every ...

The only positive thing to say is that we reached our destinations and had a lovely time when not on board. The entertainment mainly focused on children with any adult entertainment fully booked and not able to accommodate all. Freedom dining - restaurants overbooked and if you get a pager to tell you when you can dine in the restaurant they go out of range so you have no idea when a space ...

P&O now only 2 star quality. No turn down service, no flannels in bathrooms, towels look 10 years old. Asked for 2 extra pillows looked at aghast and said you want extra pillows you have 4 Staff sullen across ship and could not answer any questions you asked them. In fact quite rude at times. Very poor service in restaurants regarding having to wait for tables. One time in restaurant we were ...
