My husband and I, both retired, are looking at sailing on the Oriana. We travelled on the old one many years ago but we are now hoping to travel with friends who are particularly fussy about the ships they sail on. Any comments on personal experiences would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello sampep,

unfortunately I am planning to my first experience with P&O in 2008.

But if you are not going in near future and are living in the UK:

ORIANA has a mini-cruise on October 20, 2007 to test it.

Because of your situation as you are retired: ORIANA is addressed to families, while ARTEMIS and ARCADIA of P&O are child-free ships!
