P&O Britannia cruise ship - ALL the premium dining, Spa and Retreat REVIEWED!
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators evaluate whether it is possible to achieve a small luxury ship experience while sailing on the massive P&O Britannia. They begin by addressing their initial apprehension regarding the ship's high passenger capacity and potential for crowds. The review covers various aspects of the voyage, including cabin accommodations, which they found well-designed despite a narrow balcony and occasional propeller vibration. The creators detail their dining experiences, noting a disappointing meal at the main restaurant but praising specialty venues like Sindhu, The Glass House, and the high-end Epicurean. They also explore premium amenities, specifically highlighting The Retreat as a tranquil, six-star sanctuary that successfully shielded them from the busier areas of the ship. While they enjoyed the spa and the intimate Limelight Club, they noted challenges with crowded entertainment venues and the quality of onboard coffee. Ultimately, the creators conclude that while the ship is large and can feel crowded, spending extra money on premium services allows passengers to create a luxury illusion. They found the overall value to be good despite the additional costs incurred for specialty dining and amenities.
