P&O Britannia Ship Review | Would We Go Back?

Editorial Summary

The creators provide an in-depth review of the P&O Britannia, a large cruise ship that joined the fleet in 2015. They evaluate several key aspects of the onboard experience, beginning with accommodations. They note that cabins are clean, practical, and well-maintained, though they warn that balcony sizes are small and some deck eight balconies are obstructed. Regarding dining, the reviewers praise the quality of the main dining room food and the variety at specialty venues like The Glass House and Beach House. However, they report significant issues with the afternoon tea at Epicurean due to poor dietary management and express frustration over the difficulty of booking specialty restaurants caused by crew shortages. Service is described as underwhelming and understaffed, which the creators link to broader industry crewing challenges. They also critique the expensive and restrictive drinks packages and the lack of a nightly turndown service. While they find the entertainment and ship decor to be high quality, they conclude that the combination of rising prices, service declines, and ship layout quirks makes them hesitant to return to P&O cruises in the near future.
