Oriana Review

Additional details
We have just returned from a wonderful week on the Oriana X308 to Norway and Fjords. This was our first cruise and surpassed all expectations.
We had booked valet car parking at Southampton, which went like a dream. We walked away from the car, the porter took our luggage and we went through a very smooth check in. All staff very welcoming and efficient. Our luggage turned up very promptly a little bit later. A wonderful start!
We found our cabin -- a mid-ship inside cabin on E deck - which we were advised was a very good position for stability and quietness and it certainly was. We slept blissfully without awareness of movement, turbulence or noise. The cabin was a good size with plenty of storage space and was not at all claustrophobic, even though I must admit I did miss a window. The air con was effective and very quiet and the cabin never felt stuffy. An interesting feature is that you slept front -- aft, so alongside the corridor, not port to starboard. The cabin was very clean and kept in excellent order by our Cabin Steward, Orlando, who was very personable and attentive.
Cabin Review
Inside Twin Cabin
E 150 is a Low Mid-ship Inside Cabin with shower and said to be at the best part of the ship for stability and we would agree. It was very quiet as no one has cause to go past it other than people in the cabins on that corridor, so sleep quality excellent. Were never aware of any turbulence or noise during the night. Beds positioned Front - Aft, which may help the stability? Although an Inside cabin, it did not feel at all claustrophobic. Air con efficient and quiet and it never felt stuffy.
