Sailing again - Oriana

Today I have been packing ready to join the beautiful Oriana again for her Christmas and New Year cruise to the Eastern Mediterranean. This will be the first time I have cruised over the holiday, but I have done three Christmas Market cruises to Scandinavia before so have an idea what the ships will look like.

Unfortunately there is Norovirus on board Oriana on her current cruise so embarkation will be delayed while the ship is deep cleaned - a necessary precaution, but means no priority lunches for anyone.

I will keep a blog as usual but probably, given the cost of internet on board, post retrospectively as on my Caribbean voyage.

Merry Christmas to anyone reading this. Back soon.....
