I’m jealous that you and Bob and Holly were on together-sounded like you had a great time. Adorable Aurora biscuits Holly made! You were lucky with the weather except for the wind-gorgeous sunsets!
Thank you for another wonderful vlog… the more I see this ship , the more I want to sail on her!! It’s definitely top of my list!! Looking forward to the rest of this series 😊
Thanks for posting. Looking forward to these, we are on the same ship and itinerary in August. First time on Aurora, previously sailed on Britannia, Arvia and Iona. Looking forward to an adult only ship and a more traditional cruise feel.
Just off Aurora this morning so nice to watch your vlog this evening. I’m pleased to report that the crew no longer serve your food any longer and it’s all gone back to normal and self service. I thought the Syndicate Quiz was very hard but I’m pleased I’m not the only one 😂
@@KenGoesCruising We actually discussed this on the way home, 3 nights was a nice taster but not really long enough. Let’s see what next Summers sailings are like. We’ve not tried Arcadia either, would you recommend her to sail on?
@@ALifeintheParks Arcadia has a similar feeling. She has a fantastic pub and theatre but no Andersons. There is a crows nest, Sindhu, ocean grill which is a sort of epicurean. I don't think she is quite as attractive as Aurora and she was in need of a refit which she gets in November this year. The atrium is very plain and a very small cinema on board. They have thermal spa pool on board which is nice but at an extra cost. We are looking to go on Arcadia again. Have you thought of trying Fred Olsen I would like it to P & O 25 years ago and I mean that in a good way things are just a little bit more special on board.
@@KenGoesCruising Many thanks for the advice, great to hear that Arcadia is having a refit. I won’t book until after that’s happened. We very nearly went on the Fred Olsen that you were on in February but we decided on Marella because the weather in the Med would be better. Sadly it rained every day but that’s cruising for you.
Consoling myself watching your vlog as didn’t get to go on regal Princess this week as have covid, denied boarding. Hoping insurance going to cover it. Any experience of this anyone?
We missed a cruise through COVID in 2022 Auroras first cruise after lockdown. I tested positive the day before we sailed. Full refund by the way of FCC in them days. I hope everything works out well for you.
We are off next Monday on this cruise. Exciting to watch your adventures knowing we will be on her soon. 😊
@@ElizabethPress-o6t I'm sure you will have a great time fingers crossed for the weather.

We had a great time thanks Cheri and the weather just kept getting better.

Hello Ken and Lindsey.
Is it hard for an a American to sail on a P and O ship?
There was an issue with regards insurance requirements during COVID. That seems to have gone away now. I think Bob booked through P & O America.
@@KenGoesCruising I’ll check with him. Thanks
My wife Teresa is vegetarian. How well does P& O accommodate v’s?
They cater very well for a number of dietary requirements including vegetarians. There are always options on menus in the various eateries.
@@virtualgardener thanks Lindsey. Perhaps show the menu with vegetarian choices on future vlogs
