Well, what a wonderful ship the Oriana is. Such a classic ship which shows so much character. We embarked at Southampton for a short 7 night Mediterranean cruise, very painless checkin procedure and straight onto the ship. Great service on board, food was superb and a very good selection of shore excursions at very reasonable prices. We opted for an ocean view cabin whcih was a great size and was comparable to a good 4* hotel room. Overall a great cruise from P&O and it was nice to sail on a ship that has not been to modernised and still has it's original charm.
