Good to see that Ocean Village's ship Ocean Village the original (how I wish they could come up with something simpler - how about Ocean Village One given there is now an Ocean Village Two?) now has a Club Lounge.
Ocean Village Two, launched in April 2007, had a Club Lounge when I cruised on it last summer and it proved a fantastic place to get away from the masses and enjoy a much more personal service.
Of course there is a catch. It is only available to passengers staying in top-grade AA or BB suites and it costs £70 per person. But for that you get unlimited access to the lounge, continental breakfast, afternoon tea, unlimited soft drinks, free alcohol served between 5pm and 8pm and free access to the Internet, so it is a bit of a bargain. Even more so given children of lounge-paying passengers can go in for free and still get the free soft drinks.
Nice move OV. Now how about that name?
