A return to drydock ?

During the course of ORIANA's current world circumnavigation there have been various reports of a serve vibration in the stern area of the ship.
While initially unconfirmed in a interview while travailing on board P&O Cruises Managing Director Carol Marlow indicated there is indeed a problem being caused by ORIANA's propellers.

It appears the problem has been caused by the propellers of being out of balance as a result of being removed and replaced with new shafts during the addition of ORIANA's 'duck tail'.

During the course of the interview Carol Marlow revealed that it is intended ORIANA will return to dry dock at some point after the conclusion of her world cruise for the problem to be resolved.ORIANA in dry dock in November 2011.
