Tropical nights onboard ORIANA

If it is one thing which a holidaymaker from the British mainland always wants while away from home 9 times out of 10 its sun, sea and a tropical climate. Of course any time spent on ORIANA offers the sea and much of the time sun too, so to add to the feeling of a tropical break away on ORIANA a Tropical themed night is often included during the cruises to warmer climes. The highlight of the evening mostly being the deck parties mentioned in a earlier post, the evening begins somewhat earlier at dinner where instead of wearing their uniform the waiters will be dressed in Hawaiian styled shirts and some of the desert dishes on the menu will have decidedly tropical flavour. Moving on up to the lido deck later in the evening the deck will be awash with colour as passengers and the entertainment team usually wear the always bad taste but very amusing Hawaiian shirts With the odd pirate or two taking photographs! Music often has a very exotic flavour invoking images of lush Caribbean islands with songs such as Hot Hot Hot by Arrow and occasionally changing language to Spanish for the Mexican folk song La Bamba and to Portuguese for the song Lambada, always accompanied enthusiastically by passengers dancing.
