Monorail Orange Posted February 19, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Britannia's preview site is now up.. http://britannia.pocruises.com/britannia/ Few extra details on there, like the TV studio and the LED screens on the stage. I don't recall seeing the dance floor either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denarius Posted February 21, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 21, 2014 "Britannia will embrace a bold new 94 metre Union Flag on her bow displaying the longest version of the Flag anywhere in the world. The new style represents a contemporary approach to cruising which looks to the future, whilst celebrating the past." Interesting! I wonder what we should read into this. Does the fact that the new artwork brings to mind Aida, NCL and (dare I say it?) Ocean Village give us a clue, or is it just wishful thinking. No doubt time will tell when more information is released by P&O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeanlyon Posted February 23, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Just had a look at some of the interior pictures of the ship and everything seems to be white, grey and beige, even the dining room. anyone else seen that. I remember people didn't like Arcadia because her decor was bland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilson2579 Posted February 23, 2014 #5 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I like the colours. Don't like gawdy, reminds me of my NCL cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanlyon Posted February 23, 2014 #6 Share Posted February 23, 2014 No, I don't like gaudy, but I do like some colour, nice deep red in the dining room, not white and grey, it's a bit cold looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_uk Posted February 23, 2014 #7 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Cold colours in an empty dining room can work. I used to think that the MDR on Celebrity Solstice looked very sparse - all blacks, cream and silver - but once filled with people it looked fantastic. Of course, that dining room also has a huge and dramatic scale, which helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlesteelo Posted February 23, 2014 #8 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Just had a look at some of the interior pictures of the ship and everything seems to be white, grey and beige, even the dining room. anyone else seen that. I remember people didn't like Arcadia because her decor was bland. Dunno what pictures you were looking at, but the three dining rooms have the following colour schemes: Meridian: Blue/Gold Oriental: White/Crimson Peninsular: White/Orange While the Meridian's decor I don't really like, the other two look really nice, not bland at all. Don't get where your beige/grey idea comes from: Edited February 23, 2014 by littlesteelo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moray Firth Cruiser Posted February 27, 2014 #16 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Hi folks, I think that the new Britannia looks stunning and with the redesigned stern flap she should have reduced cavitation, vibration and engine noise making for smoother passage making. When I was researching all about the ships design I came across a great little blog site called http://www.tich.co It has been set up by a travel writer and architect who says that the blog will be monitoring the progress of Britannia over the next 24 months. Well worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Presto2 Posted February 27, 2014 #17 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Sorry if this is a silly question, but will the ship have one of those horrific big screens in the pool area like its sister, the Royal Princess? I don't think she will but am checking just incase. Having been alongside the Royal Princess on the Celebrity Silhouette last year in Turkey I wouldn't wish this monstrosity on my worst enemy -------- :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P&O have been very coy so far about the facilities and layouts of the open decks - they're not included in the deck plans we have so far - so it's still anybody's guess.

cruisefan2012 Posted February 27, 2014 #19 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I hope she does, I have 4 sea days on her next year and like to watch films on sea days We wont know officially what she has and hasnt got until the new brochure is out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our idea of a perfect sea day is peace and quiet and nothing but the sounds of the sea / waves and nothing to see but miles of sea. We hated the big screen when the Royal Princess docked in Ephesus ---- up to that point I had had a very peaceful, 2 hours ------ then IT arrived. :eek: I just wanted to launch a missile to shut it all up! I understand that everyone has their own taste so we will wait until we see what Britannia is offering before we book. If we don't like it, it won't be her fault , just us having a different taste / different preferences :) PS Dear P&O please don't let her have a screen though :D;) Edited February 28, 2014 by Presto2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanlyon Posted February 28, 2014 #22 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I couldn't agree more, that's what was so awful on Azura. However, surely in this day and age, it wouldn't be beyond the wit of man to provide wireless headsets, so that those who want to watch a move can do so and those that just want to relax and read a book can.

cruisefan2012 Posted February 28, 2014 #23 Share Posted February 28, 2014 JeanLyon Azura is a HUGE ship as you know, you could have chosen to sit somewhere else, I`ve sailed on her 3x and noticed that as I moved away from where the SeaScreen is it got quieter...

Its bad enough in August trying to find a space anyway without having your choice limited even more by where the screen is put. Am I right in thinking that on the Royal Princess the screen is by the pool anyway? It was sooooo loud when berthed next to us that it drowned out the sound of the Sipra music band (just below me by the pool) on the Silhouette. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCFC Posted March 1, 2014 #25 Share Posted March 1, 2014 If you look at the Britannia preview video at 38 seconds in there appears to be a smaller than usual screen behind the second funnel away from the main pools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
