Lost Touch
Hi Chris,
I was one of the two Australian females employed to work for Alders in the duty free shops on the Oronsay 1974/75. I joined the ship in Sydney and my first cruise was to Hawai.
After leaving P&O I headed to London to work for British Airways for 4 years then back to Sydney.
Lost touch with the my Oronsay friends a couple of years after returning to Sydney from the UK but would love to re-connect to fill in the gaps if there are any registered on this forum.
