Florry Posted August 3, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 3, 2017 With all the discussions on which ship is better than another it led me to thinking, if I was to build a ship out of the current P&O fleet which bits I would use, here is my conclusion: Aft - Aurora Library - Aurora Buffet layout - Britannia Ocean Grill - Arcadia Crows Nest - Arcadia Promenade - Arcadia Glass House - Azura Epicurean - Azura Beech House - Oriana (the one in the buffet, I think it's a beech house) Bar - Orchid Bar Arcadia Bar - Brodie's Britannia MDRs - not fussed Thermal Suite - Britannia Cabins - Not Britannia (small bathroom and balcony) other ships all ok Grab n Go & Pizza - Britannia Limelight - Britannia Theatre shows - Britannia but with the seating arrangement of another ship Adult swimming - Britannia Orchid Restaurant-Arcadia, I know it's gone but we liked it more than Sindhu Cafe Bordeaux - Aurora, again a sad loss Laundrette - Aurora Room Steward - Siva (was Arcadia) I've also been on Ventura and Oceana but their bits got pipped to the post! I'm not sure she would be seaworthy when I glued her together [emoji849] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorset cruise fan Posted August 3, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 3, 2017 sounds like the perfect ship but alas the Library on Aurora is no more. It was a beautiful space but has turned into Sindhu and the Library is now a cubby hole next to the Crows Nest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a beautiful space but has turned into Sindhu and the Library is now a cubby hole next to the Crows Nest I suppose when space is at a premium and it has to justify itself in financial terms, it is inevitable they got rid of it [emoji31] I keep meaning to go back on Aurora it's been about 15 years now, I probably wouldn't know it is the same ship.

Rare Eglesbrech Posted August 4, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Thats the problem Florry, the ships change in a drive for profit. Things like a decent library don't survive. The lovely spacious pub on Ventura is now dark and cramped as they built a whole load of cabins in what was part of the pub previously (they must be a bit noisy for most of the day would think and not a cabin I would choose to book). They make more money from cramming in more cabins but it just adds a little to the pressure on dining, theatre seats, sunbeds etc as more people. I like your ship, can someone build it:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a bit like colour blindness [emoji15] I just have never been able to percieve one being different from another!

gadabout60 Posted August 5, 2017 #20 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Surely Adonia's library is far, far superior to all the others? Agreed - must be one of the best libraries at sea I do wish though that they wouldn't lock the books away when the librarian is not on duty. Do pax really steal books ?
