Britannia- Club Dining / Freedom Dining

[Spenno21]

Looking to book a saver price cruise on Britannia, we are also taking our son who will book his cabin separately on a saver fare.

Is there a chance we could be allocated one cabin freedom dining and one club.. if so. Are they flexible once on board to change. We prefer freedom dining.

There is a process whereby you can have your bookings ‘linked’. This will mean that you will all have the same dining arrangement. You just need to call P&O (if you booked direct) or your Travel Agent and they will do this. 
 

As for what you might end up with, Freedom Dining and First Sitting Club (fixed) are the two most popular, so whilst you might be lucky and get Freedom, you could just as easily get Second Sitting Club. There is no harm in asking on board if you don’t get Freedom. Many people have reported that they have done so and been successful. However, we have been on some cruises where there are notices at the Freedom Dining restaurant at the start of the cruise stating that it was full and requests to change could not be accommodated. In one of these cases there was a couple at the podium who wanted to switch to Club, so a couple wanting to switch to Freedom got lucky as the restaurant manager swapped them!
