Hi All, Looking at the Limelight Club for our cruise B715. Has anyone got any feelings about this Venue, !st time on Britannia.

Thanks,

We absolutely loved it there! Food was a bit better, and the venue made for an intimate evening, almost being part of the entertainment as they walk around the tables.

We think it's a very good idea and wish more of the ships would add it.

We loved it too and thought it was good value. Food choice was limited but good. And you get acts that don't appear elsewhere on the ship so it's a bit exclusive. We'd certainly do it again.

Only saw it empty on a ship visit but it looks to have an interesting ambience. Seemed a bit dark, though, how are ageing eyes supposed to see what you are eating ?!

Do you also get a caged canary in case the gas levels get too high ?

Only when baked beans are on the menu.

Perhaps it ought to be re-named The Gaslight Club ?!

We tried it last year.
The entertainment was good - Morecambe and Wise tribute act.
The food was average with poor choices and the service was abysmal with insufficient waiters who were clearly not enjoying the situation.

We enjoyed our evening in the Limelight Club when we saw Kiki Dee and her musical partner. We went in at 7.30pm and came out just before midnight, so its a full evening.

The menu is a bit limited, but for me, it was more about the entertainment and atmosphere.

If we were on Britannia again, and we liked the look of the acts appearing, I'd definitely do it again

Just an extra comment on the food. The choices are limited so whether you like it or not probably depends on whether you fancy one of the options. We did and enjoyed it.

It's alive and doing well. It's the place where you buy Cubie and me drinks and we forget everything.

Come to think of it I forget everything most days. ....

Have you had it without the pork scratchings? That's what makes the difference. Lethal with no food inside you.

"Pork Scratchings" and "Food" - isn't that an oxymoron ?
