We are on Britannia in October for the transatlantic crossing can't wait glad everything ended up be ok and that crew and staff handled the situation

 

I was on ocean village transatlantic one year in the middle of the Atlantic all the light went out and captain kept us updated and there was a fire in one of her engines we drifted of course for about hour and half but at no time to we feel the captain and crew didn't have it under control and ocean village being a sister line to p&o I have upmost respect for p&o crew

Several years ago we were on board a Princess cruise attending the welcome party when there was a crew alert which was obviously in code. I have never seen the captain and senior officers move so fast!!

The captain returned to the party later on and told us that it had been a fire alert which came from one of the staterooms and had been caused by a passenger drying their damp clothes on a light fitting.

A lesson to us all, and good to know that their alarm systems work well.
