After our first full day onboard Oriana, we are starting to get a feel for it - and liking it. It is obviously starting to get a little long in the tooth (although very well kept) - but the overall design works. It is also obvious why it is popular amongst regular P&O UK passengers - a classic which appeals to ship lovers. So far - we like the Theatre Royal, the Cinema, the Promenade, Harlequins (for the dance floor) and the Peninsula Restaurant. But this list is still not fully developed.
The Promenade is a beauty - very wide and goes right around the ship. Memo to P&O Australia - please please please, get rid of half of those useless "sunbeds" on the P&O Aus ships - and replace them with the deckchairs that feature on Oriana - very comfortable, and will be ideal for sitting on the Promenade and watching the ocean go by as we have some long sea days ahead of us - much better than those sun beds for reading too. In this day and age, how many Aussies lie out in the sun?? Not many - well, at least not those with any brains.
Bloody wide prom deck Baz. Love the deck chairs.

Pacfic Jewel have chairs like that up on the Lido deck and I made a comment to my husband that they should also have them on the Promenade deck. Way better for us not so young people.

Yes Bazz,
ReplyDeleteThe mark of a good ship is a wrap around Promenade.
