Cruises are too expensive for you to waste your money on this cruise line. I have been lucky enough to have cruised for many years from very small ships to the largest in the world (Royal Caribbean Allure of the Sea- It was the largest in 2012 when I cruised it). But I consider myself a pretty decent judge after about 25 cruises. But by far, this ship is the WORSE and most badly operated ship I've ever sailed on. The 12 floor buffet deck staff is miserable and the ship overall is dirty and old. Mind you, old is okay, if it's clean and is operated by helpful and warm staff, but I barely saw anyone cleaning a banister or vacuuming a floor-even during shore leave.

The staff is sloppy and make it very clear they don't want to be there. All could be forgiven if the food was at least decent, but that's the worse part of the cruise. The food stinks and when the staff has to serve you, they just kind of plop the food on your plate and don't even look at you. There is something REALLY wrong with this cruise line , hence the old saying, The fish rots from the head down, I truly believe this to be true because EVERY head waiter and person "in charge" I dealt with were equally rude and and unconcerned about accommodating their guests.

The Cabin was dirty and our private bathroom was dysfunctional and badly cleaned. I would see the same dirt on the bathroom floor for 5 days and each time I mentioned it to our steward I was told he thoroughly cleans the floors every morning....WHAT? This is so long because I just want you to think before sailing on this cruise line. If you are accustomed to bad service and don't care about cleanliness, then by all means sail away on Oriana, but if you're a person who goes on a cruise to enjoy being taken good care of and making your vacation a truly memorable event....then Pass on P&O.
