Has anyone seen the webcam on Britannia actually working ?

Every time I look it's a night shot of Southampton

The camera itself is working fine, it seems to be the link to shore that's not. You'll just have to book a cruise and watch it on your cabin tv.

I am not sure the live action feed shown on the cabin TV is in fact used to provide the still satellite images on the webcam on the site. I noticed major differences on our last cruise from the webcam pictures I had been studying over the weeks before, if they do come from the same camera then the webcam is a chopped down version with a much tighter field.
Whichever it is I suspect the problem lies in the satellite uplink, and knowing how expert P&O are on IT, it may never get fixed.
