It is believed to have lasted longer than Ocean Village Two's, and was likely still open on the ship's farewell voyage under the ownership of Ocean Village on 21 October 2010 - the Ocean Village brand was discontinued shortly afterwards, and the Ocean Village ship herself was transferred to P&O Cruises Australia[3].
