Oceana Sold
P & O have just announced the sale of Oceana. This was our first P & O Ship.
Very sad but time to go.

Re: Oceana Sold
I have some lovely memories of sailing on Oceana in my early cruising days. It must be 5 years or so since I last sailed on her.

Re: Oceana Sold
My 1st cruise was on Oceana and she got me hooked that was in 2006. We have been cruising since and have been on her 3 times she will be missed especially by us.

Re: Oceana Sold
We did our first back-2-back on Oceana, great trip but we didn't return to this particular ship.
So ... who is the new owner ?

Re: Oceana Sold
Not a ship we particularly liked so won't be missed by us.

Re: Oceana Sold
Many years ago I suggested to P&O's CEO of the period, OLs friend Carol, that they should base a ship in Hereklion and do rotating 7 day cruises in the Greek Islands ... looks like somebody has the same ideatowny44 wrote: ↑29 Aug 2020, 09:31Some outfit in Greece, I am sure that nice Mr Google will know the details.Manoverboard wrote: ↑29 Aug 2020, 07:14We did our first back-2-back on Oceana, great trip but we didn't return to this particular ship.

Re: Oceana Sold
We loved Oceana. The aft mini suites were lovely, incredibly large with big, deep balconies. The 6 aft suites were, we think, the best in the fleet. I think you could probably get at least two suites the size of the Azura/Ventura suites in the Oceana ones. They really did have two rooms - only separated by a curtain but even so. Our first P&O ship was the old Adonia, the sister ship to Oceana. She's still sailing with Princess under her original name, Sea Princess. Mind you when cruising eventually starts again whether she'll still be with Princess who knows!

Quite likely but it could also be because she liked being called TeresaOnelife wrote: ↑29 Aug 2020, 10:54Great sence of humour has Carol...probably why we got on so well

Re: Oceana Sold
Oceana was the first P&O ship we sailed on and we loved her. However the last trip we did we thought she was looking very tired and with Cafe Jardin gone and a couple of other changes it was nothing like the ship we enjoyed so much.
Change is inevitable and you have to embrace it but regrettably many of the changes which have been made since we first started cruising have not been for the better IMO - the band at the dockside, streamers, champagne fountains, lovely gateaux..............

I think the words your looking for Foxy are 'cut backs' rather than 'change'
