We are Tom and Dom and we experienced our first cruise on the MSC Virtuosa during her UK staycation cruises in 2021. We are relatively new to cruising, however we can now say we are officially hooked.
Our mission is provide a fair and balanced review of our travels. We look at the types of food that is available onboard, from main dining rooms, room service, buffets and pool side snacks. We include menus for each of cruises so that we can share the selection of drinks and meals that are available. Entertainment onboard a cruise ship is important to us and we enjoy theatre production shows, live music, quizzes and game shows. We love to explore different ports and destinations and enjoy sharing tips and tricks so that you can make the most of each port. We often explore ports independently but also book excursions that are interesting to us.

Your Aurora series was excellent. Filmed loads, gave honest opinion about your ups and downs - Love your humour too. Watched you guys for a while now and you are both really getting into the swing of vlogging. Get better each trip. Keep them coming !!
Thank you! What a great review of our work. We absolutely strive to make our vlogs better each series. Thanks for watching T&D
Whoa, those seas were looking pretty rough out there! I’m really impressed with how this ship is looking, considering the age - she’s looking great!
Well done overview guys - really enjoyed this one!
Thank you! It was pretty rough out there thankfully she handled it reasonably well
That is why you look at the deck plans, i have no idea how much it was? We always choose a balcony cabin, our next cruise on Aurora is in 3 days, so looking forward to it. The next time do your research for your cabin, it might cost a bit more for a balcony cabin, it is worth it in the long run. Happy cruising guys.
Thanks for watching. We had booked a saver fare so couldn’t see exactly which cabin we were going to be allocated on booking. By not booking a balcony on Aurora at New Year it meant we could do a whole other cruise. Have a great cruise. Aurora is a lovely ship
Interesting series as we are off to Hamburg in October on QM2 so will watch again nearer the time. Giving you cruise credit for a future cruise is not good enough they should have given you the credit whilst on board so you could have spent it once disembarked it should be cash. I had a complaint on Princess very minor and they credited me a $100 to spend on board straightaway
Thanks for watching and hope you have a great time in Hamburg. We have always found Princess level of service to be good
What a great review of a fabulous ship 😍 the Crows Nest was our favourite venue too, it really is the perfect place to unwind with a cocktail! 🍹
Thank you for watching! Hope you had a great time on your recent cruise.
Hi guys. I am so glad that P&O got eventually got back to you and compensate for the discomfort🎉. THANKS for the review.
Hi Hannah 👋 Thank you for watching 😀 we were pleased with the response from P&O head office it’s just a shame that it had to come to us writing a formal complaint!
@@TomandDomTravel Hi. It is so true,so sad. My belated dad was a born Dutshman, born in Rotterdam, and always said, that if you ever have a problem and nobody can assist in a proper manner, you wright a letter to the king in that company🤣 Well, it worked for you guys🫣 Please take care. Looking forward to your next video.
Iam still refering you guys to the people that can t help themselves👋
Something P&O seem to do better than others is respond to feedback. I write after cruises about both good and bad aspects. I love sending compliments so they know what's working and individuals get recognition. It's also an opportunity to voice any concerns. P&O have always got back with genuine replies.
Princess (in reply to my complaint that they removed a host of inclusive features a week before embarkation) said they can do what they want as it's in the small print.
Royal Caribbean just has a generic copy and paste reply.
Fred Olsen actually phoned, but with an oral copy version of copy and paste.
Thank you ☺️
Great review thanks ! Personally I think the p&o offer was not generous and they should have refunded you in cash rather than cruise credit (where the only way you benefit is to have to hand over money for another cruise).
Thankyou for your review, can I ask, did you notice if they had allergies listed for the food options?
Yes they do. Sometimes it can be a bit hit and miss in the buffet
That's great,looking forward to our 1st ever cruise on Aurora!!!
Watched your review with interest. It certainly highlights the risk of booking a guaranteed cabin rather than paying a bit more to choose one. As the saying goes you pay your money and gamble, hopefully most times you win! Sorry you lost particularly badly this time, glad you got some compensation.
Yes, unfortunately being a New Year cruise it wasn't a cheap cabin. We are glad P&O agreed with our points raised.
We’re still jealous that you got a seat in the terminal 😩
We can’t believe they left you outside for all that time
What,s the latest time you can disembark on arrival back in Southampton, self assist. Do you know? Excellent review, guys.
Thank you for watching. You can usually get off earlier but it’s fine to stay on until the last disembarkation group
@@TomandDomTravel thank you. What is the last disembark time? We have quite a late bus connection so in no hurry to get off.
@@kathleenmcgovern8669they really rush peel off now probably about 10 is the last group off
Yes, unfortunately it's quite early
Thanks, good to know.
I be very surprised if they can sort the noise issues out with them cabins. And shocked they have given you anything. That area when Aurora was built was the children's facilities when she accepted family's. Never designed for cabins. When she got turned to adult only they got greedy and installed more cabins instead of another bar or public space. This was done back in 2019. Ventura was also affected by the P&O money grab when they took a massive chunk of the exchange bar away and turned that to cabins they will have the same issue with noise not just from exchange bar but Ventura has very noisy stabalizers and in that area in rough seas it's so noisy. Also they are expensive single occupancy cabins. People on saver fares on Aurora should expect to be allocated them cabins as they will always be the ones left but it's not acceptable to hear noise from Carmen's it does not warn you when booking that venue noise might be heared in them cabins or any cabin in fact.
Thanks for watching. We shall wait and see if they were just paying us lip service
Hi, do you think that at deck 9 cabin C147 of Aurora ship we can hear noises from theater ? thanks for your help
You should be fine in that cabin.
@@TomandDomTravel Thanks guys. You are the best ! I always watch your videos. Thanks
Thank you so much! Have a great cruise and let us know how you get on
@@TomandDomTravel of course. We'll leave next July/August and I'll let you know. Thanks
