Your First Cruise Was It SS Orcades

[Aussie One]

I read the posts on the Uganda it brought back memories of my first cruise on the Orcades in 1961 it was a world cruise to Sydney

i will be the Oriana 23 september to repeat this trip as a 50th wedding aniversary the accomadation looks far superior than it was in 1961.

it would be interesting to here from past cruisers on the Orcades.if there still alive lol.

ps. i wonder if P&O will give me the 5% discount being my second cruise with them.

My first cruise was on SS Uganda! I am on Oriana soon...............she looks a wonderful ship and I hope you have a wonderful time on her!

 

Have you seen the gocruisewithjane website which has some wonderful clips of Orcades in the 1960s? ;)

Not me, but it was one of the ships passing through Suez in 1949 when my parents were stationed in Port Said.
