marylizcat Posted September 28, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Do we know when Britannia will go for a refit? Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubadiverswife Posted September 30, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I wonder how long it will take . We are booked on November 2019[emoji848] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monorail Orange Posted September 30, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 30, 2018 ^Depends on what they're doing. Anyone know? Can't see it being a major refit (she'll be 4 by that time), guess its just the usual "wash and brush up" they all get from time-to-time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrierjohn Posted September 30, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 30, 2018 It's been reported elsewhere that they will convert the midship staircase above deck 7 for passenger use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monorail Orange Posted September 30, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Makes sense. Is this the same as what they've done with the Royal Princess and her central staircase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwalkerdave Posted September 30, 2018 #7 Share Posted September 30, 2018 As far as I can see she has no cruises scheduled between 7 October and 23 October !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molecrochip Posted September 30, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 30, 2018 That’s correct timing wise. The first refit is known as a warranty refit - sought out everything that isn’t quite as it should have been. Some changes in the atrium expected with glasshouse being extended across both sides of deck 7. Market cafe will then take over the Java role of Costa Coffee and cake on deck 5. Marco Pierre White is taking over the cookery club. Britannia also due to get scrubbers on her exhausts. And mid-ship stairs due to be brought into passenger use. There are some design differences to the Royal/Regal which need to be overcome here first though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are due to sail on her on 25th October but I think there is a sailing before us. I am worried about this as it might spoil our cruise. We have only been on one cruise before so don't how it works.

Opening up the mid ship staircase is long overdue and can only assist passenger movement around the ship, reducing queues for lifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pozzetti Posted January 29, 2019 #11 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Yes I get that but I am worried they will be doing the refit whilst we are sailing. I saw 'rip off Britain on TV the other day and a couple wss on a cruise whilst the ship was having a refit and it was awful it wss like a building site. It wasn't P&O though.

lebreos Posted January 29, 2019 #12 Share Posted January 29, 2019 They generally have the refits timed pretty well these days and only odd bits of finishing off should be left if anything by the time its due to sail. I was on ventura post refit by a couple of cruises recently the cruises before all went on time and all i really noticed was fluffy carpets in places and some odd trimmed carpet in cabin which i reported to be sorted at some point...

Britboys Posted January 30, 2019 #14 Share Posted January 30, 2019 It is very unlikely to overrun by any any significant period. As is often the case, the first cruise after the refit is a 2-nighter, which could be cancelled in that unlikely event of a late finish on the refit.
