As a frequent solo cruiser it can sometimes be difficult to meet other solos and to have company particularly in the evenings but P&O always ensure there are opportunities to meet.
On this particular cruise the staff also acknowledged our group doing their very best to accommodate our needs especially when dining

I'm sorry for the 1 star as I've never been cruising I can not say if its good or not but I would love to think if I ever got the chance to sample a cruise it would be a great experience giving me a lot to write about.

P&O is sadly not what it once was. So many cuts in service and ship too big. On board a very different experience, people no longer dressing appropriately for dinner on black tie nights. Men entering the self service restaurant without a shirt, and literally fighting over deck chairs! Not the 5* experience it once was. But good value for money.

Great caribbean cruise, we had been on a similar cruise on Azura 3 years ago but Britannia impressed us from the start. The public areas were spacious, although on sea days it could be a problem finding sunbathing space on deck unless you were up early. The food was good with a good choice and the service was excellent. We had more rain than we have experienced before at this time of year but that's just one of the things you have expect going to the Caribbean befor Christmas. Overall we had a lovely time and are thinking of booking again .

First cruise with P&O. Enjoyed the whole experience apart from a couple of things. One shore excursion was a total waste of money. The Train and Pirate experience in St Maarten was not worth £90. The train went out if the docks and in 2 minutes pulled into a Pirate experience which was ok for kids but not for adults. The tour of Philipsburg was the only good part. On the return we visited a cheese shop for a tasting. The cheese offered was so minimal a mouse would have been malnourished.
The other issue was the dress code onboard for evening was not adhered to by a number of guests. The dress code guide clearly states No shorts. Most people dressed well but a minority wore swim type shorts and vest tops. Totally unacceptable on a cruise with P&O. Ok for Butlinsvmaybe

One or two good points but three disappointing things

It was great to cruise again after our holiday was cancelled twice due to Covid, there have been a few changes on board with the captain not showing his face to the guests and the cost of wine and speciality restaurants going up in price, but overall, it was great to cruise again, anf brilliant to see the friendly staff on board. I can't compare with other cruise companies, as I've only sailed with P&O, which I would highly recommend. There are a few improvements that could be made such as free WiFi, and all inclusive options, but these didn't retract from the great cruise we had.

A surprisingly wonderful cruise visiting unexpectedly beautiful cities.

Took our Mum in 2015 on the new Britannia, very impressed with the ship as a whole, very very busy though with amount of people on board, alot moaning about lifts being busy (a bit like Vegas!!) but didn't bother us at all, had a really nice 2 weeks, great food, nice room although a tad small for 3 adults!

We found the cruise was good and the food was excellent. The cabin furniture and some of the ship's furniture was in very poor condition. The access to the promenade deck was only accessible via two steep stairways.

The ship is a bit large for us but great as we were with our son, partner and the grandchildren. The service was excellent particularly in the restaurant. The balcony cabin was fine with a cleverly designed en-suite shower.
The trip was good with a decent range of ports and sea days to relax.
The only downsides were that there is no promenade and they insisted on having a DJ playing loud music on the pool deck when it was obvious that nobody there had any interest in it.
The entertainment was OK, with some great music acts but the shows need updating as they have been repeated for many years.

Quite a bit had changed since my last cruise over six years' ago.
We had a long wait in the queue for the port parking before embarking but, once in the terminal, things were very smooth and efficient to get us on board the ship. There was no requirement to take your life jackets down to the muster station as before - we just had to check where it was beforehand.
The cabin steward now only comes in once a day, in the morning, when you leave the sign on your door for him to make up the room. The main differences during the cruise were that there was no Captain's welcome party on the formal night - just vouchers for a free glass of fizz from the bar, no chefs' parade through the restaurant, and there were no photographers waiting to take your photo at every opportunity when embarking/disembarking, during dinner, or at other times - they were only in the atrium on particular evenings.
Overall, the service during the cruise was good and disembarkation/embarkation at ports visited ran smoothly. The entertainment had something for everyone and there was a good selection of restaurants and bars.
The final disembarkation at Southampton ran extremely smoothly, with no waiting required beyond your allotted time, and we were able to pick up our car from the car park without delay.

Enjoyable cruise on Britannia again. Some standards have dropped slightly over the last few years but still a lovely ship. Will be cruising with P&O again.
