Totally brilliant Northern Lights cruise, surely no-one can have anything negative to say about it?
Our first time on Oriana, having previously sailed on Aurora, Oceana, Ventura and Britannia plus a couple of non P&O ships. Nice classic ship, teak decks, wrap around promenade, good size and with that lovely stern. Particularly liked the railed balconies as you could lie in bed and see something, not just salted up glass! Liked her so much we have booked another cruise. There is engine noise which is particularly noticeable in the rear restaurant but it didn't stop our table from having a good time.
Enjoyed the food in the restaurants. Only heard one complaint from an older lady who had health issues and strong opinions. Sometimes if all is not right in your world it can make you negative. Wasn't a fan of the conservatory, the biggest problem being it was very busy on a cold weather cruise when the outside space could not be used. Personally I didn't like the quality of the food compared to the restaurants. Al Fresco was nice but small.
