just back from Britannia

[sweby]

Had an absolutely fabulous cruise on board Britannia. All staff very attentive. I was with my mother who is not so able bodied, and has dementia, but she loved the experience. Cabin steward Harak was brilliant, and so were dining room staff. Shows by the entertainment team were first class. We had lots of pamper time having hair and nails done in the spa, and all the staff in there were excellent. The only down side was it all had to come to an end! Looking forward to choosing the next cruise.

I'm delighted you have had such a good time. We love Britannia and are back on her in December for Christmas and New Year,

We are looking forward to Britannia in October. We have sailed on her before but I'm struggling to remember her now so it will all be a lovely surprise no doubt [emoji3]

Nice to read a positive review of Britannia

 

I`ve sailed on her aswell and agree she is a beautiful ship

 

Glad you both enjoyed the cruise and you will soon be booking another one !

Well done for taking your Mum and coping with the little challenges of dementia - been there and got the tshirt... I'm sure she loved the different stimulation and also the girly pampering together! Hope you have many more holiday opportunities together. Glad you loved Britannia too - were on her in June for the first time. Getting excited!

Pleased you enjoyed your trip it will be my first time on Britannia in June too.

I hear what you are saying Ginb56 I too have been on the same path, my father loved the sea and boats etc. Are you doing the Fjords by any chance Ginb56?

We're off to the Baltic in June for two weeks. But fond memories of the fjords on Azura which was our first ever cruise - would go there again in a heartbeat... Enjoy yours Johnno!

Thank you for posting a positive comments about Britannia. I'm on the same cruise as Ginb56 and like her I'm looking forward to our first cruise on this lovely ship.

 

It's just so lovely that you enjoyed such a special time with your mum. Enjoy every minute you have with her.

 

I so miss my dad who suffered from vascular dementia and have such poignant memories of the last time he came to see us in London 23 years ago. I cry every time I hear the music from Les Mis which we went to on that visit.

My Mum has vascular dementia and Alzheimer's and is 91 in a few weeks, bless her. She's amazing, been in a great home for 3 years and loves seeing the photos of our cruise and reminiscing about a cruise she did with my late Dad many years ago. One of her favourite toys is an Azura teddy from a few years ago! I think the stimulation of a cruise is great for relatives in early dementia and other people are generally more aware and understanding about the behaviour quirks nowadays. Happy Easter to you all!
