Britannia capacity at present

[amfc_lenny]

Hi, does anyone know the number of passengers on Britannia at the moment, curious as we are on board next week and wondering how packed the interior and lido spaces will be

 

thanks in advance

We are due to be onboard too and as the weather seems to be turning I suspect the interior to be packed even at half full. Still it is a break so we make the most of it.

I understand they are doing Frech coastal cruises now, so the weather should be far warmer than sailing round Britain.

Looking at the forecast starting on Saturday, at least we will have warm rain.

We are off to Liverpool so not sure how much of a detour to France we will take.

Wishing given the weather we’d booked the southern cruising option! Usually early September is a bit warmer than the forecast for next week!

You drew the short straw then,  most of the other cruises are now going south for some sunshine.

Liverpool is a beautiful city and is a much nicer visit than sitting on a ship in warm weather so I dont think you have drawn the short straw. We are due in Belfast/Liverpool12th/13th with Princess.

Not really as not allowed off unless you do a P&O tour. Think I will stay onboard😆

Are P&O still sticking to those restrictions because other cruise lines are allowing you off independently in English ports as far as I know now. We have been told by Princess we can get off independently on 13th Sept.

Not if you can only go ashore on ships excursions!

Like I said previous message we have been informed by e-mail from Princess that you dont have to do a ships excursion and you can get off independently.

Yes I am well aware of that thank you.

Cunard are still ships excursions only for Liverpool.

To answer the OPs original question I was told at Southampton that there are around 1900 passengers. There is no crowding and my only issue is the lifts where there is no restriction, other than the usual one, about numbers and people are pushing in even when the lift is almost full. I have heard a couple of people complaining that there are not enough guests on board.

We were told by the manager of the Glasshouse that there are 1600 onboard, there are a lot less people on this week than the previous cruise.   The trawlermen in the atrium are brilliant, the atrium is packed with people standing on the stairs watching their performances.  The Limelight club has John Partridge in, not been to see him yet. There’s also a good guitarist/singer called Gabor Auth in various venues who is also very good. 
The only problem we’ve found is that the ship is quite cold. 

[sandancer]

Agreed. Especially in the Crows Nest.

Iona is near Southwestern France/ Northern Spain. That's South of Liverpool.
