Review summary

This was the best cruise so far on Aurora the weather was good for the duration which meant we spent a lot of time on the sun deck in-between food breaks etc. our cabin ( B104 ) was kept immaculate by our steward. the evening entertainment was not as good as previous cruises. The menus in the main dining room were quite repetitive and not very exciting the Black Tie menus were disappointing compared to previous cruises. The tours we took were mainly good although Split & Dubrovnik were so hot at 34C we had to cut them short. These are not complaints we had a thoroughly good time and will definitely be back for more !!!
