Review summary
Clean and elegant ship, relaxing venues, comfy cabin.Embarkation
It was of course pre COVID. But it was fast and easy.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Didn’t try the specialty venues but the mdr food was great and the buffet open most of the day was good too. Fabulous cocktails.
Onboard Activities
Very traditional and old school kind of cruising. If you are looking for slides and ice skating etc then this is not the right ship.
Entertainment
Shows were good. Great music throughout the cruise.
Service and Staff
Everyone was kind and went the extra mile to serve us at the best.
Ship Quality
I loved the ship for the old ocean liner kind of vibe that it has. I will definitely cruise again on Aurora in the future. Everywhere was spotless.
Cabin / Stateroom
Had a small inside cabin. Very clean and comfortable anyway. The bed was comfortable.
Ship tip
Ho visit the crow’s nest. It’s lovely and the Anderson’s

Ports of call
Great because the ship docked right close to the city centre. We had a shellfish mix that was great. We didn’t look at shore excursions at all but the one to Santiago de Compostela seems really interesting.
St. Peter Port, Guernsey, Channel Islands
Guernsey is very cute however we had to tender with rough sea and that kind of ruined everything.
A bit of a planning mistake from P&o. Apparently Santander is great for shopping and we docked there on a Sunday and there wasn’t much going on
Disembarkation
I’d say it was fine. We got off at the time we were scheduled to and our suitcases were waiting for us at the terminal.
