Thank you Moray Firth Cruiser!

There is a terrace pool, yippee! Looks like the central staircase is for staff only, win some lose some :)

What appeared to be a Movie Screen at the back has gone too, wonder what the Cookery club is? I see the promenade is now at the top :O

Only 2 hot tubs available for all !!

(A further 2 in the retreat for paying guests)

Can i prebook my 10 mins now! :D

If it is anything like the Ventura you won't get anywhere near the hot tubs for the teens:D

No evidence of the dreaded big screens.

No proper Promenade Deck either. that's a deal breaker for me, that and the enormous size of this ship. I quite enjoyed Azura but am really looking forward to being back on Oriana this summer; I like the medium sized ships.

I was told by a cruise specialist person at P&O that there will be a "Sea Screen " like on Azura on Britannia

I thought I had read the same in one of the press releases, strange if there isn't one. I know some people hate it but for live sport it was always crowded when we were aboard Azura.

Never seen it mentioned in the publicity and you would think they would if it were a feature.

Whilst I don't believe in bashing a new ship before I have experienced it myself, I have to say I am very surprised at the lack of a proper promenade deck. P & O attracts a fair amount of traditional cruisers so I feel this could be a real deal breaker. The lack of a central staircase also limits access. I generally always have an inside cabin and this lack of outside deck down low will force passengers to seek inside cabins on the upper decks. I wonder if this will raise prices. Spending the day in a steamer chair on the Promenade was always a pleasant way to go. Still plenty of choice with the rest of the fleet.

Up and down steps to get to rear restaurent, just like Azure. Hate that. No promenade deck as well. That rules us out. Stick with Arcadia.

P&O have already taken into account the traditionalist customers not liking the ship before they have experienced it. Britannia will have 2 dress codes, no jacket required evenings, just like Ventura.

ps - Next year Azura is going 2 codes too

I agree that the lack of a promenade deck means the loss of a popular seating area but the ship follows the industry trend of focussing passengers attention inward towards the ship and the revenue generating areas.

I'm not one to dismiss something without trying it first, BUT, my DH and I both love promenade deck so this new ship might not see us on board.

we both work full time so part of our cruising plans is relaxation, and although we have balcony cabins, it can get very hot out there and the chairs are not that comfortable, so the lovely loungers on the promenade deck are where we head on sea days and after we get back from shore excursions. We also like being that much closer to the water. We have just returned from a Holland America cruise and the promenade deck on Eurodam ship was great. We enjoyed the one on Ventura too.This thread has at least made me realise that I should check there is a promenade deck before I book my next cruise.

Not only is there no promenade deck, there appears to be very little open deck space. Dread to think what it will be like on a sea day with over 3,500 passengers! Sitting on steamer chair on the promenade deck is one of the many pleasures of cruising. It is going to be very interesting to see how the ship is reviewed next year after passengers return from their cruise. It wont be the same as viewing the ship in port without passengers and just looking at the impressive facilities.

That's why we're looking at the aft cabins - on the Silhouette there were a fabulous retreat on a crowded sea day. More or less guaranteed sun on the balcony and far from the maddening crowds. Bliss.

This may sound a daft question to you more experienced P&O cruisers, but if we phoned P&O to discuss reserving a cruise would they actually know? :confused:

Presumably there will be some sort of deck area on what would have been the promenade deck with adequate access points, otherwise how would they load the lifeboats in an emegency; so why don't they utilise it in the same way Celebrity do on their S class.

Even this is not an ideal solution but it does allow some seating areas.

there is a restricted width deck behind the lifeboats but it is crew access only except in an emergency.

The new brochure dropped through our door yesterday and has the deck plans in it. I notice there are some forward facing suites above the bridge.

The Cookery club is apparently a kitchen with twelve workstations where James Martin and his team will hold cookery classes!

There are sections of the lifeboat deck midships and aft which are accessible. On Royal Princess they have loungers and comfortable seating in those areas.

For those mindlessly writing off the ship because of the lack of promenade, remember that it is no longer possible to have the classic style of promenade deck, and there is nothing P&O could have done about it.

This is due to the way lifeboats must now be configured. The lifeboats must be ready to board without lowering them to deck level, so they have to be now sat on the deck.

This means to have a promenade deck as before, they must actually add it in as a feature. Before, the promenade deck was a secondary purpose, its primary function being for loading the lifeboats. To add such a deck in would require them eliminating an entire deck of balconies, which doesn't make sense to the cruise line.

The thing is, there are still areas on that deck where you can go out and see the ocean, and spend all day reading a book on a lounger. You just can't walk all the way around. This will be the same for every single cruise ship built from now on. This is the aft area on Royal Princess:

Thank you Moray Firth Cruiser!   There is a terrace pool, yippee! Looks like the central staircase is for staff only, win some lose some :)   What appeared to be a Movie Screen at the back has gone too, wonder what the Cookery club is? I see the promenade is now at the top :O

I don't know for certain Mike but I have a feeling the Terrace Pool may be for kids. The blurb mentions a "plunge pool" for kids and the terrace pool is immediately aft of the kids indoor facilities. P&O also say that kids will have their own outdoor deck space, so it could be that area.

On the few occasions that she is 'full to the gunwales' David you will be sharing it with around 4200! They quote 3600, which is the normal operating number but Royal Princess for instance has a maximum capacity of just over 4300.

Not only is there no promenade deck, there appears to be very little open deck space.

I don't really get that argument. Looking at this:

It seems it has just as much deck space as similar sized ships. Having sailed on Independence of the Seas, which had 4300 passengers and a similar amount of space, yes it is true that on a sea day you can't get a lounger unless you are out before 12.

That however is going to be the same on any ship. I can't think of a cruise ship out there which has enough open deck space for its entire passenger set. There simply isn't the space for it all. Passengers want both outdoor amenities (pools, bars, sports courts etc.) and open decks, and you simply cannot have both. There isn't the space for it at all.

The Glass House (Bar Lounge, open 11 am - 11 pm) is a premium wine bar by Olly Smith. GlassHouse’s a la carte menu includes prime steaks, beef burger, seafood dishes with 40 wines by the glass matching each course (additional charges apply).

Mains include GBP 5,50 steaks or the catch of the day, Morecambe Bay & Devon crab sliders and lobster buns for GBP 4,95. Wine-tasting dinners are organized when Olly Smith is onboard, and he may even lead shore trips to nearby vineyards.

“The Studio” is a multi-purpose venue with latest technology video and sound equipment, serving as both cinema and conference room. It is used for daily lectures (guest speakers), cooking demonstrations, game shows, small theatrical plays, and musical performances during the evening.

Sindhu Restaurant & Bar (specialty dining venue bar by celebrity chef Atul Kochhar, open 11 am-5:30 pm for lunch and 6:30-9:30 pm for dinner; additional charges of GBP 15 apply). This Indian restaurant features a sophisticated dining experience and new dinner menus that are not found on other P&O ships in the fleet. The menus are changed twice per cruise and are inspired by popular dishes in Atul Kochhar's Benares Restaurant, London. Starters might include shammi kebab, jai tarang karara kekda, gosht ke dhuandhar soole. For mains, passengers can choose from chicken murgh, cod jai pari, lamb rogan josh.

Reservations are recommended.

“The Live Lounge” (open 7 pm to late) is another music-dedicated venue hosting live music and singer performances (including live band music, vocalists), comedy and tribute acts. Later in the night, Live Lounge turns into a Disco/nightclub.

During the ship's 2019  refurbishment , on Deck 7 were implemented the following changes:

• (midship-starboard) Java Cafe's menu was upgraded with alcoholic beverages.
• (midship-aft-starboard) Photo Gallery was upgraded with Dixons Electronics.
