Hahahah Hi there Mr Foxy.. Hope Mrs Fox is ok..

Already packed the fancy dress gear :lol: Looking forward to this one ... Not been on Oriana since circa 1999 so
it should be interesting. The old girl should be spick and span after a refit as well.. ( Oriana not CMG :lol: )

It is possible.. We are travelling on Intercruises so main rush should have cleared when we get there :)

Good introduction on the last sea day - a full Indian lunch in Sindhu with a completely different menu to the usual evening ones - and just a £7.50 pp supplement. Anyone come across this on other ships - or even in other speciality restaurants ?

We also took full advantage of the wine tasting and Martini tasting. The Martini one started at 12 noon and went on until 2:30 - missed lunch as a result, but then I don't think we would have been in much of a state to enjoy it anyway !!

Hope they trot it out across the fleet - a really good way to finish a cruise (and give another excuse to delay the packing !!)

So pleased you enjoyed it - we certainly did.

I have a suspicion we were on the next table to you in the MDR (50 ?). We were the noisy 8 on 51 - hope it didn't spoil your mealtimes !
