Obstructed view balcony on Britannia

Hello,

We are thinking of booking a balcony cabin on Britannia with an obstructed view.

Has anyone stayed in one of these cabins and if so is the view really bad?

Thank you in advance,

There is a section on the P&O website which shows photos of each cabin regarding obstructed views. It does not yet include Britannia but gives a general idea of what types of problem you might be given. In addition a paper brochure will often show which cabins are between front and back of lifeboats as opposed to slap bang in the middle.

Once you understand that Britannia has a couple of sisters Royal Princess and Regal Princess which are identical in many respects, particularly about the cabins layout and numbering you should be able to get a better idea by looking at this website. Scrolling down the page gives you a detailed general view with numbering split into four sections and scrolling further down give each cabin view where a kindly contributor has sent in a photo.

I am sure looking at these sites will put you ahead of the game as regards people just trusting in a travel agent.

if it helps we were in G417 which is above Costa coffee and there is no obstruction at all. It was suggested to us when we booked with P&O on the phone

Will look out some pics tomorrow if you want but it won't be early, hic ;)

Thank you for both of your replies.

John, the links that you sent were most helpful.

Sue and Phil, if you wouldn't mind posting some photos, that would be much appreciated.

Happy New Year.

G417 on Britannia will be same deck (deck 8) as on Royal Princess (deck 8) but Princess call it E or Emerald deck because P&O have lettered all the decks A to G and Princess have called the two upper decks Marina and Riviera then A to E for the remaining five of the same seven decks. G417 will be E417 on Royal or Regal Princess and the Princess site agrees with the "no obstuctions" assessment.

Hope these help. Thought I'd got a few more but hopefully you will get an idea from these. The only draw back is that pax sitting outside Costa can look up to your balcony but we didn't have a problem with that as that can happen on many ships ie D deck to C deck on Azura and Ventura

A few more that I've found

Fantastic, thanks for those Phil. It has made our mind up and we are going to take a chance and book a cabin with an obstructed view.:)
