Jonem2001 Posted April 9, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Having never sailed with P&O whilst she was in the fleet, I was amused to see this in the lift lobby on our final Aurora night last night: Looks like P&O take their heritage seriously… up to and including reusing their luggage trollies. 3 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amajaa Posted April 9, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 9, 2023 We were on one of the last cruises on Oriana (or it might have been Oceana. ) and I kept saying when we walked around the deck I wish they would sell the lovely wooden benches off that had the life belts in . They had the name of the ship on the front. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When one of the P&O ships was sold (it may well have been Oriana) I remember there being a website where you could buy items such as furniture from the ship.

I remember seeing interior seats that I recalled from cruising on her, but nothing particular that tempted me. I suspect that the really desirable things didn’t make it as far as the public sell off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
