We went on this cruise purely to take a look at Brittania, I agree with other reviews that the lack of the midship staircase was a real problem.We were on deck 8 midship and we would walk the stairs to deck 7 then have to get a lift for just the one floor.Often we would have to wait ages for the lift to find they were full which was a right pain, we either had to walk to the aft or forward lifts which didn't seem so congested.We spoke to one of the cabin stewards who informed us that there was a midship staircase but it was for crew use only.
