sened Posted February 17, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 17, 2016 For recognition of our November 1985 Oriana cruise by Captains Circle club, P&O are asking for the exact date of departure and the number of nights from us. We sailed from Sydney to the Pacific Islands including Fiji, Noumea, Vanuatu, returning to Sydney. Can anyone provide us with these details pls. We only 7 nights away from Elite status.

Boboz Posted February 17, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 17, 2016 G'day We Were on the Oriana In Nov1984 the voyage #953 Fortunately my wiffe kept the ticket in the photo album so we got credited by Princess. I don't know if you can work out your cruise number from that . Regards Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Nice itinerary but I was referring to Sened's cruise. I found a picture of the Oriana in Tonga November 1985. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sened Posted February 17, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hi no the cruise didn't visit Tonga. We provided two photos (that we purchased on board) of us embarking on day one, plus disembarking in our port of call Noumea. Both with the Oriana logo. Unfortunately Captains Circle are still asking for the departure date and number of sail nights. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timtam2 Posted February 18, 2016 #10 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I was working for P&O at that time. I'm not sure if I kept a brochure for that year (her last full year) or if I cruised in Nov 85 - I went on quite a few in 85/early 86 before she left :( I'll have a dig around at the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closest I have come is narrowing it down to a magazine called Cruise Travel Volume 7, issue 1,2 or 3, that may have the sailing listed.

By The Bay Posted February 20, 2016 #14 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Well done PerfectlyPerth. Fantastic that you could find this information. It is amazing that the prices for most of the cruises are around $100 a night, which is similar to what you can get today. No wonder there has been a reduction of what is included in your P&O cruise these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted February 20, 2016 #16 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I assume it is the November 7 sailing, as they said they didn't got to Tonga (21 November sailing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerfectlyPerth Posted February 20, 2016 #17 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Happy to help - when I saw the date I knew I would still have that catalogue in my travel drawer as mine was the first trip of 86. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder there has been a reduction of what is included in your P&O cruise these days. It has all the airfares listed at the back - $240 we paid for Perth to Syd which is less than now - but obviously more when compared to our salaries back then. I saved for my trip for 18 months earning a huge $89 a week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder there has been a reduction of what is included in your P&O cruise these days. Our first cruise was seven nights in a balcony guarantee to Tasmania with Orincess. Our next cruise is the same, but in a hand picked BA. We're paying about $100 ea more. If we took a guarantee this time it would have been about $100 each less. Not much else you. Can say that about is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerfectlyPerth Posted February 20, 2016 #24 Share Posted February 20, 2016 No problems at all. The same book helped my father out a few years back when he was trying to claim points for some older cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
