We had sailed last year on Britannia as a couple. We loved the ship, service and food so chose this half term cruise to take our granddaughter who is 10 years old with us, so this was her first cruise and she was super excited.
For those of us that were on the cruise I think the start was pretty horrendous for the majority of people.
Firstly P&O sent a text message asking for a 5 hour delay to check in as Britannia had experienced problems, not great start but stuff happens. But for us this resulted in a check in time of 8.30pm, 1st disappointment for the three of us. An email followed with £20 compensation per person.
Compact, clean, comfortable beds and bedding. Great balcony.
British Landing Beaches: Excellent.
Afternoon trip to Normandy Villages: Average
Santiago De Compostela on your own: Having been before and attended mass with the incense ball being swung by 8 priests we wanted our granddaughter to see the Cathedral. Shame it was under extensive restoration so virtually wrapped in sheeting! We still had a great day though.
