Just back from Britannia Norway cruise


Recommended Posts

Just returned from Britannia cruise on Friday. 
Brief review.

Embarkation was very quick although we were allocated a 3.30 time.

Accidentally left my belt in port security scanning tray but upon enquiring at Guest Relations the following day  it had been sent on board and so was pleased to get it back.

we had an obscured view balcony cabin on deck 8. Cabin nice and clean ( unlike Azura in March) and the new carpets were good. In fact everywhere we went there were new carpets and furnishings. The ship is in good condition.

In order to ensure we got our favourite table for 2 in Peninsular we ate early at 6 by booking using the My Holiday app. 
The food wasn’t particularly great and fairly similar each night ( a 14 night cruise would be a struggle ) but the service from our waiters was truly excellent. We normally dine a couple of times in the Glass House but didn’t bother this time in view of the service in Peninsular.

We normally go to most shows but had already seen all three Headliners shows at least twice before and so didn’t bother. The guest artists were a three girl group Rox who we went to see once and realised we had seen them before and didn’t bother with their last night show. There was a solo male singer that did a couple of nights but we didn’t bother. There were no tribute bands that week.

It looked like drinks prices had increased as the My Holiday app hadn’t been updated in the Glass House and the Menu in the bar showed higher prices. Will post pics below. 
Lack of a central staircase is still a source of annoyance and on disembarking we had to walk from midship to forward and carry cases down the front staircase. Good job we weren’t on a higher floor. Other than that self disembark was easy.

Some more pics. We enjoyed Norway but the day up the North Sea and back down again is a bit of a waste of time if the weather is poor which it was on both days.

Nice pics thanks but if you found the one day each way in the North Sea hard work you don't sound like a candidate for a Transatlantic crossing!😆
