Great, that's good news!  Thanks for your response 😁

Hi, we are booked on a Staycation cruise and have just booked some shows/live music etc. It's our first time on Britannia but on previous cruises on Ventura and Azura we liked the evening quizzes, games and race nights in Brodies/The Exchange. Does anyone know if they're being run on the Staycation in Brodies? Also, is it bookings only for theatre shows or live music etc, or if it isn't booked to full capacity will they still let you in if you turn up? Apologies if this has been asked elsewhere. Thanks. 

Great, thanks for clarifying. Can't wait now 😊

Thanks all for your responses and some very helpful info. We've now booked for the 18th, we know the experience won't be the same as usual but we're really looking forward to the break.   For those of you who have already been on the Staycation cruise, was there a gala evening? Also I'm sure I saw somewhere that there is free WiFi, is that correct? Thanks very much. 

Hi. We're looking at the 18-22 July Staycation cruise on Britannia. We want to wear masks in public places as required, but with rumours that UK regulations may change to say masks will only be voluntary from 19 July, does anyone know if P&O will then change their regulations part way through the cruise? We would rather not go if suddenly they can't enforce the mask wearing (that's just our personal preference). Online P&O have been quite specific that the double vaccination policy is until a certain date, but it looks like the mask wearing could be subject to change. Any ideas? Thanks. 

Thanks so much for your replies! So good to know I will be well catered for. Sounds ideal. Thank you :)

Hi, I have just been diagnosed as a coeliac and notice on the P&O website that they seem to be quite accommodating by arranging special menus etc in the MDR. Does anyone have experience of this service please? We usually go for freedom dining, does that cause any issues or would I have to be there at a set time so they can provide my meal? Also, we tend to go for the buffet at breakfast( and lunch if on ship), so are there also gluten free labelled options at the buffet or would I have to speak with the chefs there as well? Thanks in advance

Hi again, thanks very much for all your replies, very useful info. All sounds great, looks like we are in for the odd late one then!

Also, Jaydonny, thanks for the links to the Horizon brouchures, was great to see the kind of things on offer. My husband was expecting to miss all the footie matches so was pleased when he spotted he might be able to catch the odd match here and there on the Seascreen if we happen to be on the ship that day.

Cheers everyone, getting v excited....only 12 days to go...... :D

Hi

We are on Azura for the Xmas cruise (not long now, wehey!). We are in our early 40s. We have seen that there is dancing in the Atrium but presume this is ballroom dancing (not really our thing). We've seen the approx timing of the shows but after the shows/bar acts, is there a nightclub or do the bars stay open and play fairly up-to-date music etc? What time does everything go on until? We are not ravers or anything but wouldn't mind a quite late night here and there.

Also, have seen some conflicting info re what time breakfast finishes, was wondering whether we can get breakfast somewhere after the times that are mentioned on the website, it seems to be until 9.30am? Just in case we did miss this breakfast deadline once or twice (after a very late night as mentioned above)! - is there a 24hr buffet or is there a time between breakfast and lunchtime where you can't get any food?

Thanks
