Just back from Oriana as part of the 'Grand Event' 3 July - a 4 night cruise. We had an enjoyable cruise, despite P&O! We met several lovely people, had some entertaining conversations, a number of laughs and saw some interesting sites.
The service from P&O unfortunately was not good, often it felt as though we 'four night cruisers' were an annoyance or inconvenience. Were we being penalised for not going for at least a seven night cruise? The 'Grand Event' was billed by P&O as being 'the pinnacle of our celebrations this year'. Well I suppose it was for P&O personnel, but they seem to have overlooked the fact that it is the cruisers who are the vital ingredient!
Right at the start, we were prevented from access to our cabin whilst Princess Anne was about to pass nearby, being sent on a spurious alternative route by 'something in a uniform'.
