Review summary

Clean and elegant ship, relaxing venues, comfy cabin.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It was of course pre COVID. But it was fast and easy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
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

4 out of 5
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

4 out of 5
Shows were good. Great music throughout the cruise.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone was kind and went the extra mile to serve us at the best.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
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

4 out of 5
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

La Coruna, Spain

4 out of 5
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

2 out of 5
Guernsey is very cute however we had to tender with rough sea and that kind of ruined everything.

Santander, Spain

3 out of 5
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

Gijon, Spain

4 out of 5
Nice town centre. We had tapas that we loved

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
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.
