I hope they do a good job, as We are on the Maiden Caribbean cruise in November 2015. Friends are on the Maiden Cruise. That's Next year.:) Edited July 28, 2014 by zap99 spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zap99 Posted July 31, 2014 #9 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Sorry. I think that Brittania will be the ugliest boat on the water.. Once they get over about 100,000 tons they all look ugly IMHO. Unfortunately it had the right itinerary at the right time of year. A smaller option would have been preferable I must say. Although it's not as ugly as the Norwegian Epic.

About 70k tons and 15 years old. Just the job. Still looks like a ship.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great link, thank you. Being a cruise newby, I thought I was only suited to mid-sized ships like Oriana, however my wife and I were impressed by the literature and took the plunge to book a sunny cruise on her for next December. The more updates P&O give out, the more excited we are both getting. And we've still got Oriana to get through first (if it doesn't break down this time!)

bluemug Posted August 1, 2014 #14 Share Posted August 1, 2014 That's the one I was thinking of, saw it in Barcelona last week. What has happened to Cunards Caronia. Now there's a good looking, well proportioned lady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
