Fabulous. We had aurea experience this time and it was just as good. Restaurant was the Il Campo. Was a little disappointed as no views or the sparkle of the other restaurants but great staff and service

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Considering the ship was full 5500 passengers the staff coped really well. Some even recognised us from October. It was lovely to see their smiling faces as last time still worn Masks. They work so hard and put up with do much nonsense of customers.

Cabin / Stateroom

Aurea balcony cabin. So lovely. Right by lifts. Plenty of storage and lovely to see daylight. Won’t do interior if we can help it again. Balcony was small but it was cold as December in Europe
