In all honesty i found the food to be 100% better in the MDR on Arvia in April than on Azura last december when it was very poor and tiny portions. Im glad we booked all restaurants in MDRs and olive grove prior to boarding on Arvia but even the we could not book meals later than 6.30pm in advance.

All your help has made me decide to bite the bullet and book it for December and because its an early saver the agent Cruise UK told me that P&O will contact me (not sure how) a few weeks before to ask our dining preference . This doesnt happen on late saver?. Maybe its in the planner nearer the time. I will keep ya posted. Thanks again

Yes Selbourne , i found that on Azura too , that people who turned up in most cases just got seated straight away.

Thanks for all your replies. Can i just confirm the freedom dining and club dining arrangements if anyone knows the answer. When we were on Azura in December last year we booked an early saver and they gave us club dining when we boarded the ship but for the later sitting whereby we prefer the earlier one. We asked the Maitre D if we could change to freedom dining and he arranged that straight away. So is this how it might work on Brittania and if so and we opt for freedom dining is this on an app or do we just turn up and get given a bleeper if we have to wait because the restaurant is full. Thanks again

Can you book the main Dining room venues on Britannia 14 days before and shows in theatre 15 days before like you were able too on Arvia.? Appreciate everybodys time and views so far, thank you.

Hello my fellow cruisers, some of you may remember we went on Arvia earlier this year and we have never been on Brittania but are looking to go to the Caribbean in December. We like the itinerary for Britannia the first week of December but looking at some of the recent reviews re food it is putting me off. Has anyone been on her recently and have any views either way or maybe been on her in the Caribbean?. I know Megabear had issues on Arvia on a trip following mine earlier in the year but i wonder if things have improved. Any help or views either way may help us make a decision. Thanks In advance
