Oriana refit looking good

[balf]

Not sailed on Oriana for quite some years but if the refit is as good as it looks I may be very tempted to return.

 

Good to see Pando is not exclusively interested in the floating monsters.

I really want to go on her again! But I couldn't get the weeks off at work I wanted, perhaps 2018!

It was clear some work had already been done a few weeks ago - decks sanded down etc.

I'm already booked for September 2017 and looking forward to seeing the changes.

It's a great shame that there are no plans to make a few of the balcony cabins accessible. There are none on the ship at present. Oriana was our first cruise ship in 1996 and we have fond memories of her, but now that we need an accessible cabin she is sadly out of bounds for us, as we wouldn't cruise without a balcony.

 

Incidentally, I do wonder if those who slate the 'monstrous' big ships have cruised on them with an open mind? We didn't expect to like Britannia but loved her. She's not perfect (no promenade deck, lack of midship stairs, lifts way too small) but no ship is. However, the select dining restaurants and unique facilities such as the Limelight Club are superb.

Completely agree with the Britannia comments!

We did try Azura, but just found her too big, too noisy and crowded. Queues to get back onto the ship. We waited 45 minutes in very hot sun in one port.
