Air conditioning was leaking from the ceiling of P & Os Britannia onto the buffet food in Horizon Jan 2026. I took pictures of the crew mopping it. Avoid Britannia
I have traveled on a number of cruise lines and the best buffet in my opinion has been on Azamara. Same variety and consistency across all of its ships. Every night is a different themed buffet from around the world.
Just a couple of comments… I don’t eat at the buffets very often. I prefer the main dining room and usually have dinner at a couple of the specialty restaurants. I don’t like the passengers touching the utensils serving themselves food and others germs that could ruin a cruise. My last cruise was Holland and their staff served us. One last comment I have is just here say but I’ve heard MSC is not that good.
