flipflop104 Posted April 2, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Balcony A723 on P&O's Britannia in December 2022/January 2023. The balcony is the main differene from regular balcony cabins as it's massive in comparison. The cabin can be a little noisy from chairs being dragged around in the sunset bar which is directly above (but not overlooked because of the addition of the canopy) but it didn't bother us. If you don't like noise or are disturbed by it, don't choose this cabin. As I said we weren't bothered by it but it was pretty much always there. Not intrusive I would say, but deffo always there so if you like silence this cabin is not for you. Not really any noise from people though. And very quiet in the corridor as being back of the ship, there isn't any footfall apart from the other 5 cabins in the area. The canopy on the cabin below us intruded on our view of the wake as you can see it through the glass balcony which is a shame and it means you can't look directly down on the wake which I thought was a shame and spoiled it for us. I would deffo choose another aft cabin but only one that didn't have a canopy on the balcony below. The cabin is a few steps from the lifts/stairs which lead directly up to the buffet and sunset bar whih is really handy. Directly down the lifts to get to the Oriental restaurant which is also handy for breakfast but as we were on freedom dining we couldn't use the Oriental for lunch/dinner as that was for the set dining diners. I've added a load of pics and a short video and "hopefully" some 360 photos so you can move your phone/mouse around to navigate round those. In the pics at the rear of the ship, it's the balcony directly under the flagpole, between the two canopies (immediately right of centre). Any questions, just ask and I'll try to assist.

Rare Presto2 Posted April 2, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Many thanks for these photos - they are REALLY helpful for anyone wanting to book an aft cabin. We have been trying to find a photo of where the canopies are for ages and haven't been able to find one. We had booked F729 in the past and have booked the one above for our cruise in Jan 2024. Looks ideal if you like the shade - I'm a bit more of a green house 'flower' and prefer more sun. Thanks again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipflop104 Posted April 2, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted April 2, 2023 No probs. We were curious about the canopy before we went and couldn't find any pics anywhere hence why I made a mental to note to take pics for ppl. We prefer the shade so it was good for us but not if you're a sun worshipper. Don't get me wrong, it did get some sun but not loads and not constantly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
