Thank you so much! I can now know how the cruise looks for when i go on the cruise. This looks so good and it’s very nice that you took your time off looking at the cruise yourself to entertain us!

Thanks for your comment! Britannia is a beautiful ship, we've been her twice and enjoyed both experiences; hope you have an amazing cruise :)

Fantastic video! It’s refreshing to find a cruise channel that doesn’t have all the fluff you get in other cruise Vlogger videos. You can easily determine whether a ship is right for someone or not, which I really like. Keep up the good work gents!

I went on this ship in march 2019. Thanks for the memories

[@LetsAllCruise]

Great tour, thank you! My hubbie and I just sailed on another royal class ship, the Discovery Princess. I had to laugh because the spa is 100% identical to princess. I wish princess had the crow's nest. Such a nice feature.

[@sailawaymag]

Thanks for your comment! We said the same about the spa, it is practically identical. We love the interior design of Princess ship's, particularly the Royal-class, but it is a shame that there isn't a Crow's Nest!

[@NorfolkEnchants]

Just got off a week long Fjord cruise on her and it was our first and last P and O cruise. So many problems, was expecting a holiday of a lifetime and it was pretty poor. Think we will have to do the Fjords again with Celebrity!

[@sailawaymag]

Hey we’re so sorry to hear you didn’t have a good time! However from our experience Celebrity are amazing and we can’t recommend them more highly! Have you got anything planned for another cruise or started looking? ☺️

[@NorfolkEnchants]

@Sail Away with Dan & Jay Yeah we are booked on Marella Discovery 2 for a 2 week cruise in October! We did Explorer last April and loved it. Will definitely be doing the Fjords again but with Celebrity or Royal Caribbean! The Fjords were stunning!

[@sailawaymag]

That’s amazing, we’re doing Marella Voyager later this year (we have a soft spot for Marella!). Your going to have the best time ever! 😀

[@WhoDaresWins-B20]

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.

[@sailawaymag]

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. 😄

[@WhoDaresWins-B20]

@@sailawaymag Beauty Dan & Jay. Many thanks for such a fast response. I am thinking of visiting home next year and may look to booking a trip on Iona. Everything depends on my health. I have one foot in the grave and another on two banana skins mate but I cannot depart this mortal coil until I see Scotland once more and take a cruise on one lof those GI NOR MOUS ships. Cheers my friends!

[@CruisingColemans]

Great video! We cruised on Britannia on her maiden season and are sailing on her again later this year so it’s great to see how she looks. Makes us really excited for our cruise!

[@sailawaymag]

Hello, thanks for your lovely comment! We sailed aboard her during her Maiden Season too, and we have to say that in terms of decor and maintenance - she seemed as new and appealing on the eye, as she did back in both 2015 and 2018 when we travelled aboard her last. Hope you have an amazing time, we'll be on the lookout for your videos :) all the best!

Looks like a lovely ship. There seems to be a lot of +£ restaurants - what is the quality of food in MDR? Also, do you have to buy coffee from 'costa'? or is the alternative just the buffet or your cabin? Finally, do P&O have a drinks package? Thanks x

Thanks for watching! Costa coffees are chargeable, but instant coffee can be grabbed from the buffet 24 hours a day! Here's a video all about the drinks packages they offer, but we don't recommend them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hp_HgqZvjplqepY

[@scottdeas1974]

Hi, thanks for this great information, I have just booked on this ship for next year, in your video you talk about the my holiday app, could you tell me where I can find this as I can’t see it in the App Store, thanks

[@sailawaymag]

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 :)

[@Subbby]

Hi folks,,,I’m thinking of booking with p&o, so pleased I watched this clip. I’m surprised by how much of the restaurants are fee paying restaurants. Watching this, there’s a lot of money to spend on top of your booking fee. Very expensive

[@sailawaymag]

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 :)

[@Subbby]

@@sailawaymag thanks for the reply,,,we are thinking of booking arvia ship to Caribbean 14 nights, but your interior room review has put me off and it’s a fortune for a balcony. The Britannia looks old,,,,,and that’s put us of the ship. Any tips recommendations for our first cruise? Thanks in advance

[@rizla1155]

Hi guys fantastic video, is the serenity pool separate from the retreat or do you pay for it? Thanks

[@sailawaymag]

Hello, thanks for your feedback and comment! Don't worry, this is a mistake on our end - the Serenity Pool is next to the retreat, but is separate to the Retreat and does not incur an extra charge. You can enjoy this relaxing pool area without having to dip into your pockets :) hope this clears things up.

Hi we are the Baldwin family we are coming on board in April my name is Sharon we are looking forward to coming to see the cruise

[@sailawaymag]

*In the video, the Serenity Pool features under the 'The Retreat (£)' title. The Serenity Pool is completely separate from the Retreat, and does not incur an extra charge or require any form of reservation.

[@stephanguitar9778]

Thanks, that has decided for us. Not cruising on Britania unless it is really cheap and a lot of ports in the itinerary. Pools look nice. Hot tubs missing, no window cabins, no real promenade deck. Not interested in Bars, Atriums (airport waiting room), casinos etc. Nice vid by the way.

[@sailawaymag]

Hey Stephen, we’re glad we was able to help you decide, do you know what you might book as your next cruise?! Also thank you so much! 😊

[@stephanguitar9778]

@@sailawaymag If P&O perhaps Azura, Arcadia, Aurora or Ventura depending on itinerary and price. Have done Iona which was OK but not as good as the RCI ships we have been on or even the older P&O ships like Oceania we did a few years ago.

Just a quick question guys. I've booked on for a Christmas caribbean cruise and was wondering about getting the drinks package, or can I just pay as I go on my cabin account as and when I buy a drink. Thanks in advance. Mark.

I am looking at booking this for december. Cruise around carribbean. Can I ask what is included are food and drinks both included. Seems as if a lot is at an extra cost thank you!!!

[@sailawaymag]

Hello Isabelle. Food includes the main dining restaurants, buffet restaurant, poolside grill, poolside pizzeria and Grab and Go counters by the pool which serve sandwiches and salads for lunch. In terms of drinks, much of which comes at an extra charge. Tap water, fruit juice at breakfast and standard tea and coffee is complimentary. Everything else comes at an extra charge. They do offer drinks packages, but we wouldn't recommend. Here is another video of ours which tells you what packages are available : kzbin.info/www/bejne/hp_HgqZvjplqepY

This video has been so helpful, just booked for Aug 2023 and so excited! One question, are any places out of bounds for children? I’m guessing the casino. But would love to enjoy some of the bars and there doesn’t seem to be info like that on website. Thanks so much!

[@sailawaymag]

Thanks ever so much Karen! The Oasis Spa, The Retreat, Casino and the Adult's Only Serenity Pool are out of bounds - as are some venues late at night, but this will be indicated to you in The Horizon - which is like a newsletter, and this will give all the information regarding activities onboard for the following day. This will be left in your cabin each evening along with a chocolate! Hope you have a fantastic time, if you need any other help or questions, feel free to email us at [e-mail]
