I think I must have been on a different ship to the one some people describe in their reviews, as I loved everything about Oriana and this cruise. OK, yes, there was the odd problem with the plumbing but it really didn't affect my enjoyment of the holiday in any way, and I have experienced far worse in Greek and Turkish hotels!
This was our first time on Oriana and we thought she was a beautiful ship - traditional, stylish, with beautiful decor. We particularly loved the aft tiers, which became a favourite place to sit after dinner and watch the sunset, mesmerised by the wake.
Other favourite "haunts" became Tiffany's, coffee lounge/bar where we would sit and listen to the pianist some evenings over a nice cocktail - or rather "mocktail" (non alcoholic) as we're not big drinkers - and Harlequins where, unlike a previous reviewer, we were delighted to find that there was ballroom and sequence dancing every night from 9.30 to midnight. We don't consider ourselves old (52 and 56) but we really enjoy this type of dancing, as did plenty of other regulars in there. According to the Horizon magazine there seemed to be opportunities for people to just "boogie", such as the noisy deck parties (not our cup of tea) and DJ Ant in the Pacific Lounge.
