While ORIANA has been now successfully in back in service for over 8 months and looking like new it seems that her £25,000,000 (30,000,000€) refit has had a less than favorable effect on fellow Carnival Corp ship QM2 or at least in the opinion of some ship aficionados.
Since her own re entry into service last December the Cunard flagship has suffered several technical difficulties including engine problems during her world cruise and it has also been noted by some her paintwork had appeared to be peeling mere months after the refit.
These along with other maintenance issues raised recently in a review have been put down by some down to the extended time was ORIANA in refit and funds and resources were diverted from QUEEN MARY 2.
Thus the result being a rushed job and use of an inferior paint for her hull.
While it is true that the two vessels are the most iconic flagships of Carnival and both have several points of comparison it does seem quite amusing and novel that enthusiasts would consider such a line of thought.
"As with her cherished namesake and her sister the sacred CANBERRA, old acquaintance will be more than enough to ensure that whenever the great ships of Britain are brought to mind, another ORIANA shall now never be forgot."
