The style of the new decor looks a bit too much a la Britannia to me ! Why do we have to go all beige?!
And Arcadia. I thought Anchor care homes were running it not P&O when we visited the other week.

It's these bloody hotel design people they have brought in - they think they are designing a new boutique hotel in some poncey part of Knightsbridge !

Would have been fun going round Brambles Bank at 22 knots - probably create a tsunami in West Cowes !

Just seen Oriana in Hamburg this morning. She's got the balcony deck covered with sheeting at the moment. Next door to her is, I think, Fred Olsen's Black Watch who is in for a major refit.

There is panic breaking out on Facecloth because Oriana is still in Hamburg - even though she is not due into Soton until 06:00 on Thursday and Hamburg to Soton is about a day and a half's sailing!

They have also bunged in a 2-nighter round the IOW to allow some leeway if the re-fit does happen to over-run (which it won't) and make sure she is at the Mayflower waiting for me on Sunday morning !
