Hello again Dan & Jay. Loved this ship as well. I think your idea of placing a (£) sign next to venues that have charges is one BRILLIANT idea. It save annoying you. BTW mates; do the new P & O Ships like IONA and BRITANNIA have dinging rooms where the tariff for food is included with the cruising fare or are all Dinning and restaurant venues charged for. Further; Are Breakfasts/Lunches/and Dinners also charged for separately to that of the cruising charge? Have fun chaps.

Hey Angus - Thank you so much! The main dining venues and buffet are all included in your fare, however as you mentioned there are other restaurants you will need to pay extra for. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is included in your fare if you dine in the main dining or buffet, but elsewhere will be chargeable. 😄

Hello Scott - thanks for your comment and feedback. The My Holiday app is only available when connected to the ship's WiFi. Once you are onboard, simply connect to the ship's network, go onto safari/internet explorer and it should load straight away. They call it an app, but it's more like a webpage to be honest. It's pretty simple to use, but if you have any issues the Reception were very helpful in showing us how to use it. Hope you have a great time :)

Yes, it alarms many! There are no more extra charge venues on P&O than inclusive eateries. P&O isn't the cruise line it once was. But Britannia is a great ship, and offer some very competitive fares. You just need to budget for the extra charge elements when onboard. All the best :)
