"Cuban comedian very good, British comedian just an awful dinosaur - zero rapport with the audience.The quality of the ingredients they use is obviously good, and the 4 gala nights, the food was very good indeed (same standard as Princess' regular dining)...."Read More

1-10 of 145 Southampton to Europe P&O Britannia Cruise Reviews
Went on Britannia for 14 nights from Southampton. Embarkation was very well organised and smooth,we had a balcony cabin with walk in shower.the food and service was excellent in the MDR but a bit chaotic in the self service buffet. The entertainment was good and so was the select restaurants.we did have a bit of a scare when we were hit by a mini hurricane and the ship broke loose from its ...
Like most people on board Britannia we really enjoyed the 14 night Mediterranean cruise.
Yes, it was in school holidays and yes it was busy but that had no negative impacts. Maybe if we wanted to spend each day next to the pools we may have been out of luck. However, as two adults simply wanting to enjoy the ship and the Med sunshine we never had a problem finding a spot to sit, be it in ...
The Britannia is a really nice ship with nice things on board. We really enjoyed it on this cruise but there were a few things that could have been made better. The Buffet on this ship has two main buffet stations that are quite big but usually only one of them is used. the only problem with the buffet is the layout of the food. Ice cream next to pasta? Sausages next to salad?!?!?!?!?!? Because of ...
Why Choose: Went on this cruise to experience the splendour and scenery of the Norwegian fjords. Had a wonderful week on the boat. Convenient to drive to Southampton, valet the car and get on the cruise ship with our entire family. Well organized at check-in and dropping off the luggage. We had 1 suite and 2 balcony rooms for 6 adults and an 8-month baby.
Restaurants: We dined at all of ...
Taking Mum to the Fjords was something she wanted so badly and for that reason the cruise was fantastic.
I booked a wheelchair friendly cabin for her which had the bonus of a wet room, the cabin was very big and positioned midship close to the lifts, i was in an inside straigh opposite.
Now the lifts, tip is to take your space a lift when you have a person of limited maneuverability ...
The Britannia is a good ship. Cannot fault the service. Balcony room was compact but met our needs. Balcony a little small, particularly when you want to sit there for an extended period.
Entertainment was quite good and theatre was first class but other cruise lines have had more exceptional singers and dancers. One female singer and two male dancers stood out. Limited solo and group acts. ...
This was our first cruise since the pandemic having previously sailed with P&O 8 times and Celebrity cruises 5 times. Our last cruise was August 2019 on the Celebrity EDGE and this was our 3rd cruise on Britannia having sailed on her when she was new in 2015 and again in 2017. We have always had an aft cabin on Britannia in the past and this time we opted for. We had read many comments about ...
We chose this because of the price largely, it was cheaper than an 2 week holiday to Lanzarote at the same time. It was a good choice.
We'd been on P&O Oceana about 11 years ago for a Christmas cruise and the experience was just appalling, and we said never again. However a couple of friends recommended this ship, and largely they were right.
P&O try to big up the fact that they major on the ...
Before we begin let me tell you about why Mrs RL and me cruise. We do it to switch off, get away from work, and tick off some new places. Work phones and laptops are left behind. We choose P&O as it's familiar and we know what to expect. We know there are better and much worse out there but it suits our needs. We can also become grey people and keep ourselves to ourselves on a large ship. We ...
Third P&O cruise and chosen for the stops in Spain and France. Food and service were impeccable. Port organisation was superb. Ports and weather were very enjoyable, particularly Valencia (Spain) and Toulon (France)
Luxury Balcony cabin as ever was well organised and comfortable.
What we missed was:
1. Presence of officer staff on black tie nights, making them a bit like damp ...
