Britannia Maiden: The Verdict!

The ship is FABULOUS and the cruise was Fantastic!


 From the fantastic departure from Southampton to the Great British Sailaway in Cadiz. As soon as I stepped onboard her I immediately though "Wow!"

Our cruise was quite eventful and sadly the weather didn't stay on our side for the first week. And of course Monte Carlo was very eventful! 

There is nothing major wrong with her, yes a few entertainment venues could be bigger but that's the only flaw along with no centre staircase but this doesn't effect the ship too much.

The entertainment is the best in the fleet Stage Production wise.
There is always a seat in her buffet areas as both sides are open throughout most of the day and the venue is twice the size (easily) of that on Azura.



Her size is perfect, she's not too large and it doesn't take long to get from one end to the other. Her layout is similar to Azura/Ventura in terms of venues. Cabins are a perfect size as are her balconies.

As for people with disabilities, every major venue can be accessed by wheelchairs and mobility scooters. Also speaking to fellow passengers who have disabilities they certainly love the ship and the care they are given by P&O.

Yes I did encounter a few "moaners" but I said what everyone else has been saying "You knew how big the ship was going to be when they released her deck plans. And putting it very kindly"  "There are plenty of other ships for you to go on if she isn't for you"

Will try and post a daily review for each day and the ship at some point on here :)
