There’s a full review of our Oriana cruise here – https://www.neonbubble.com/travel/po-oriana-two-night-cruise-to-belgium-review/ – but to summarise: the issues were with slow and incorrect and unavailable bar service and some terrible food in one of the venues. It’s something we’ve noticed that P&O really need to improve and I think they’re definitely trying to raise their game and become more like Princess in that respect so it’s something that may well improve over time. Otherwise, it’s a nice ship though at the smaller end of ship sizes for our personal taste; yours may differ.

There’s no issue with hen or stag dos as this is an area that P&O stamped down on a couple of years ago. Again, P&O have been trying to scale up their offerings so they’ve been slowly shifting away from the cheap and cheerful cruising option towards a more refined side (see: Rob Brydon adverts). People wearing matching clothing or party hats/fancy dress, for instance, simply isn’t allowed.

Amsterdam and Bruges is a great little cruise. Amsterdam’s one you can walk off the ship and into the city in about 20 minutes. Bruges is a bit more involved but well worth a visit.

Thank you for the reply.
I did read the February review after I asked you the question and pleased to hear that P&O are trying to stop groups with no fancy dress and less drinking.
Thanks again
