Amid huge fireworks displays and to Calypso beats, Oceana made her debut in the P&O Cruises fleet on Friday 1 November, 2002 as she set sail from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Quite unusual for the British cruise line, Oceana debuted in the Americas rather than her traditional European home waters. But then, Oceana has a distinctively American background, having previously sailed for P&O subsidiary Princess Cruises as Ocean Princess. Today, her American legacy makes Oceana the most "buzzing" ship in the very British P&O Cruises fleet, catering to a largely British crowd looking for the ship that has it all. Oceana sure seems to fit the bill! She can be found sailing from Ft. Lauderdale this winter on attractive 14-day cruises before returning to Europe next spring to pick up her season of 6- to 17-dIn true P&O style, the 550 seat Footlights Theatre is being used as a fully fledged cinema during the day, so we tip-toe through the gently sloping room that offers all guests an uninterrupted view of the large stage. The cruise line is well known for offering good-quality production shows specifically aimed at their large UK following. Next door is the delightful Yacht & Compass, a watering hole in the true sense of the word. Done in an attractive old-fashioned maritime style with colorful carpeting and deep leather chairs, an inviting bar and lots of wood paneling, this room is arguably one of the most popular places on board. Across the atrium is the Le Club, the ship's disco.ay cruises from Southampton
