Great itinerary with friendly staff throughout the ship
Hubby and I have just returned from a two week Caribbean cruise. We loved the Britannia. The itinerary was gorgeous, lots of islands with beautiful people, beaches and vibes. The staff on the ship were amazing, nothing was too much for them. The food, apart from the Lido grill, was presented well, with amazing menus, so tasty. Entertainment was a bit poor, Manuel the magician was brilliant but the young girl on the piano wasn't the best.
Good value , lots to do both on shore and aboard .
Great holiday ship vey nice and staff amazing
