Had the most fantastic experience
Jean Shepherd | April 8, 2023 | P&O Cruises | Britannia
This was our very first cruise. Was apprehensive as we didn’t know what to expect but we wasn’t disappointed. We loved everything about it, finding your way around the ship caused many laughs with other passengers doing the same and as the passengers was Brits, everybody spoke to each other, no language barriers.
Nobody should ever be hungry. The food was amazing, so much variety as well. In the Restaurants, portions was not big, but if you asked for more you got more. I saw somebody ask for two steaks, and that’s what they got! However for myself, one was enough and cooked to perfection, as was everything, I ate.
In the cabin, the balcony was small but adequate, the beds very comfortable and all linens was pristine white.
The ship itself had lots to do for all ages if you wanted it, even a game of bingo on sea days.
We did some of the excursions off the ship and had no fault with any of them but for me, swimming with the stingrays was out of this world.
I did find the photos expensive, but our daughter told us to wait until the offers came on, which we did and got three for the price of two! Bargain!
I used the spa as well and the staff was all lovely, very professional, especially Rosalie and Chantel.
I’ve only two gripes and that is there should be water stations everywhere because especially on sea days, it’s hot and we are always being told to keep hydrated. The other is the Wi-Fi, you have to pay for it, but it’s not very good as it proved for my friend who had to leave the ship due to a close family bereavement and she was trying to find and book a flight to the UK. Staff was not very helpful I’m afraid and at times like this, you need their help.
We had the most fantastic holiday and have booked again for 2025, I cannot wait.
