She is quite small by modern standards but has all the basics. It was built 50 years ago, has the capacity to carry 882 passengers and 350 crew. There are 2 restaurants, 4 bars, a duty free shop, casino and show lounge. A couple of pools and a gymnasium are also aboard.

We were in a junior suite which consisted of a double bed, sofa, arm chair and table. It also had a bathroom with bath and shower. It was very spacious but could have benefitted from more storage space and somewhere to put stuff in the bathroom. The 2 guys looking after our room were very efficient and did everything they could to make our stay as comfortable as possible.

The food in the restaurants was excellent. Breakfast was either cooked or continental. Lunch was usually a buffet of both hot and cold food, afternoon tea consisted of tea, coffee cakes and pastries. Dinner was a la carte served to us very efficiently by a happy team of waiters.

The food was of high quality, hot and always varied. My wife is vegetarian and always found something of interest. Tea and coffee was included at all meal times. A table was allocated to us at the beginning of the cruise and the group we were placed with were very nice and friendly.
Glad you liked the Orient Queen. We have just come back from 7 days in the Aegean on the same ship. But many in our party were ill with the Noro virus, or a version of it. So, we won't cruise with this Line again.
