Britannia is a nice ship, clean, excellent staff and really good food. I was booked in for a week to the Norwegian Fjords, unfortunately, the first stop was cancelled due to poor weather but the other three ports were well worth getting off. No tender boats, so getting off the ship was easy for all with gangplanks catering for all abilities. Site seeing in the local ports was available also ship tours could be booked but expensive. I did one organised tour which I throughly enjoyed, it was a trip to see Manafossen waterfalls in Stavanger. This trip is aimed at very fit and able people. After a hour and a half coach trip, with an excellent tour guide pointing out places of interest on the way and giving you an insight to life in Norway. We arrived at the bottom of steep climb, we scrambling over large rocky steps, with chain rails to aid you up and down. Walking boots advised. Once up the site was fantastic. Careful decent and back on the coach, back to ship. Norway is a beautiful, clean and scenic country and I can’t wait to visit again. Britannia is a large ship of 3647 guests and 1350 crew, with plenty going on, shops, theatre shows, movies, talks, dancing and great food. One thing that was annoying only the lido bar was open in the day which meant you had to go to Costa, or pool bar to get drinks which wasn’t necessary near to where you were. You could use these bar areas for relaxing, playing cards and the also did talks and dance classes in these areas. Another annoying thing I booked one night in the speciality restaurant at an extra charge, it was advertised as dinner with a wine pairing. But unfortunately, it’s not a wine pairing that goes with your meal, as I had ordered a fish starter and main and was given red wine with my lobster. I asked if I could swap it for a white wine and was told I couldn’t. Again I chose cheese for dessert and couldn’t have port instead of dessert wine. If I had known it wasn’t a true wine pairing I wouldn’t have bothered I would have ordered the wine I liked by the glass. Flexibly was very lacking. On the whole the cruise was wonderful, meet some amazing people as at the last minute I had to travel on my own. There was a solo traveller meet up in the mornings and evenings, not hosted by P&O but they told you were to meet. However, it would have been nicer if P&O had arranged for part of a bar or coffee lounge set aside for these meet-ups. It would have made it easier for people to feel comfortable. Having had to travel on my own and meeting up with such a wonderful group of people men and women from all over the uk I would be happy to travel on my own again.
