Having a seating area was a nice touch, though unused for this particular cruise, and the additional glasses and surprise of a pair of binoculars were very welcome too, and these were put to the test.
The room was a good size length-wise although it felt a touch narrower than our experiences on other ships. Our cabin was B127, starboard side forward, our preferred location on cruise ships. Anyway, in the terminal, handed a card, filled in our “Yes, we’re healthy (honest)” declaration form, a short wait, then called up, through the proceedings and security, and we were in our cabin, unpacking, and taking photographs by 14:55.

We saw couples with medium-sized suitcases plus carry on luggage ahead of us. It’s quite amazing just how much luggage some people carry for a short cruise. Subsequently, we arrived at 14:10, got out of the car, and quickly snapped a shot of Oriana from the phone as we staggered through the cold with our single carry-on bag. We were due to embark at 15:00 but I like to leave early not to try to get on board ahead of time but just to make sure traffic problems don’t cause pre-cruise heart attacks. We’re fond of a balcony and the price for this two-nighter to Belgium seemed like a no-brainer, plus at the time booking it would count towards our Princess loyalty and that was the bonus that saw us snap this up.įor two-nighter taster cruises on P&O if you book with CPS (and we did) you simply park your car in the designated car park and walk into the terminal.
It’s P&O’s longest-serving cruise ship, a vessel designed specifically for the company, and one that typically commands higher person-per-night prices than other ships in the fleet on account of its smaller size and fewer balconies. Towards the end of last year we spotted a good deal being offered on the P&O cruise ship Oriana, a ship we’d never cruised on before.
