Didn't fancy sailing with the tree huggers then?

Went to Sindhu on Oriana to enjoy a special meal for our 30th wedding anniversary.Very disappointing and certainly not worth the £15 per person extra supplement. The food was bland and tasteless and the overall dining experience was nothing special. Not a patch on the Epicurean on Ventura

We'll give the Oriana one a try at Christmas to see how it compares with Aurora, Azura and Arcadia, although we have never been
disappointed by those. Watch this space !

We have enjoyed Sindhu on Azura many times. Loved the Orchid on Arcadia but was disappointed when it changed to East. Tried it for New Year Eve as Sindhu and although the food was good the ambiance was missing. Not enough people using it to make it special enough for NYE.
On Oriana this year we were disappointed with both the food which was bland and once again no ambiance. There were only 4 couples in all night. When the restaurant was Rhodes , then Ocean Grill it was always busy. As it was a long cruise we did give it another chance and the food was better the 2 nd time round though that could have been down to our choices. The ambiance was still missing but because it is underused the service was excellent but we did feel a little rushed.

I think you have a point there, SueK - a lot of it is down to "ambience". On Aurora last month, it was always packed and there was a lovely atmosphere which undoubtedly adds to the enjoyment.

Like you we ate "up top" on Arcadia on the Christmas cruise (but not NYE) and then there were only a handful of tables in use.

I'll soon liven it up

I think because Sindhu is in a more visible location on Aurora and Azura, it seems to be better patronised. I'll tell Thanka to look out for a rowdy party going in doing the conga !!

We went twice on that cruise - the first time being a sea day it was quite full but the second, which was a port day, it was almost empty. The Head Waiter said that it is always quiet on port days.

Sindhu is my favourite of the select dining venues.

I really like the location on Arcadia, and the last couple of times we've been, it was quite busy. As already said, it all adds to the 'ambience'. there's nothing worse than sitting in a dead quiet empty restaurant

I agree Gill. We have walked passed select dining resturaunts many times and they often look like the Mary Celeste

That's probably because they saw you coming and kept their heads down !

We felt the lunch menu was excellent and the signature cocktails went well with the lunch plates

When did you have lunch there? I'm sure they didn't do it on Aurora or Arcadia.

on Azura, QB when we were on the Grand Event thingy

Ah yes, I was probably too pissed on the 3-day booze cruise we did on there to notice !

I'll be upwardly mobile when I receive my personal invitation for a Cunard Ship's Visit soon !

Not if they check your record first!

We've never done lunch at Sindhu but will certainly give it a try, if available, on our forthcoming Aurora cruise. We've already booked dinner.

Sindhu is used as an extension to the coffee bar during the day so lunch is off. You will, however, be able to watch one of the Sindhu waitresses folding literally hundreds of blue napkins !

I highly recommend lunch in The Glass House though.

Ta. Always liked the GH lunch on other ships

Same wine, same menu, similar service - can't go wrong. No need to book

That'll do it - we're still famous on Aurora !
