We had cruised on Oriana on her first year 95 and again on a Baltic cruise 2000 , after reading a few reviews of how poor she was looking we were very pleasantly surprised of her near immaculate condition for a 19 year old ship .
Oriana has always been a favourite of ours just a nice size and very well designed for the UK market , nice wide prom deck with interior walkways if weather poor . Weather on our Baltic cruise was superb with lots of sunning available .
Our cabin steward Inis did a great job and our restaurant waiters were always very attentive , Meals were usually very good and warm with a couple not up to standard , but I think you can expect that on any cruise . Meals are now plated giving you less choice than silver service but you have to expect some money saving options within a very competitive market .
