Hello from the Atlantic Ocean sailing south to the Spanish city of Cadiz where we arrive tomorrow.
This is the second day at sea of this voyage; we left our home port of Southampton on Thursday afternoon. Every day at sea is very important for the entire ship’s company as it’s a chance for the passengers to really see what a great ship this is and get to explore Oriana fully. Everything will be open today, the Boutiques, Spa/Gymnasium, Photographers, Cyb@study, Casino, Tours Office, Florist, Junior Club, all the Bars, Restaurants, Library, and needless to say we will have a full entertainment program available.
Daytime activities this cruise are outstanding, we have two Celebrity Speakers, Sir James Wilton who is a Parliamentarian and Frazer Hines, the actor who is best known for playing Jamie in Dr Who and Joe Sugden in Emmerdale Farm. Our other two Guest Speakers are Doug McKensie, who has been a professional celebrity photographer for 61 years, and Commander Jeff Tall OBE RN, who is a submarine historian. This cruise is also a ‘Tate Britain Theme Cruise’. P&O Cruises has entered into a partnership with Tate Britain and this cruise we have four Tate experts onboard giving talks on the artistic riches from the National Collection of British Art and also giving ‘hands on’ workshops.

We also have a Port Presenter, Dance and Bridge Instructors and a Golf Professional for this cruise, so as you can see there really is something for everyone; we cater for all tastes and interests.
There are also movie matinees, deck sports, quizzes and so much more everyday; you will never ever be bored on a P&O Cruise!!! We offer the choice, the passengers just have to decide how much or how little they want to do!
That is just what is on in the daytime, wait until I get to the evenings.
I will be back tomorrow from Cadiz in Spain.
Cheers,
Nigel

Hi Nigel, we dissembarked your previous cruise to the Caribbean we had a wonderful time, enjoyed the Steel Band who were excellent. Will be tracking you on this cruise and hope everyone enjoyes themselves. Regards to John, Mizzie and yourself.
Morning Nigel
What a lovely photograph of the sun setting (I hope) as red sky in the morning is a shepherds warning ;-) And yes wish I had been there! Yesterday was a very depressing day here back at home. It was damp and wet, but surprisingly mild for best part of the day with the sun making an appearance late afternoon!
I see you have a golf professional on this cruise. OH tries to arrange golf at most places we visit. I have already booked him into Sandy Lane for our Xmas cruise, but have been holding back on the other ports (St Lucia, Madeira etc), in the hopes that maybe there will be a golf professional onboard for the xmas cruise who will be arranging games here. How do I find out?
Hope we have some different entertainment at Xmas. As much as I love the regulars (Tom O'Connor, Mike Doyle & Diane Cousins), it's nice to see something new!
Well the clocks went back overnight. That means it will be dark by about 5.30 tonight! SAD coming on as I write!!! ;-)
