The New Oriana
If any one is interested if you go to my site there are a few pictures of the bridge on the new Oriana.I was allowed to take them on my selective visit to the bridge.
It was only because i had a quiet word to the Captain at his cocktail party that i got an invite after telling him i worked on the latter Oriana.I have to admit it is a beutifull ship and well worth taking a cruise on it.

Great images Paul. The bridge images are impressive, I would like to see some images on the bridge of the original Oriana which would be more my cup of tea.
Thanks for sharing your images Paul, looks like you had a great time.
Regards. Bill

New Oriana
Hi White Star,
Glad you like the photo's,I must say she was a most impressive ship and we thoroughly enjoyed our time aboard.It seemed funny that they used a little joy stick to steer her when on the old Oriana they had a huge ships wheel which was an incrdible site.Everything is very technological these days but much more easier to steer.
