- In this vlog we bring you along on our P&O Aurora cruise, today we are at Guernsey, which is a tender port.
Join us as we leave P&O Aurora by tender and head to Guernsey in the search of some local gin!
Not completely content with out footage of P&O Aurora after returning to the ship, we head back to Guernsey for a second time, this time on the day trip boat where we manage to get some great views. If you want to see the video with just that footage, you can find it here: • P&O Aurora anchored of...
Our final evening meal is in Sindhu, before we call it a night, to wake up back in Southampton cruise port.
We really hope you have enjoyed this P&O Aurora cruise series - we have been overwhelmed by all the comments, so thank you everyone who has watched, commented and liked!
This was taken during our 3 night mini cruise on P&O Aurora in May. We first sailed on P&O Aurora back in 2014, she was our first cruise ship and where the love of cruising started. Aurora means a lot to us, so we were really excited to get on her for a mini cruise.
On this P&O Aurora cruise we spend 3 nights on board, with one sea day and one day at St Peters Port, Guernsey.

About Us
We started cruising in 2014 by doing a mini break on P&O Aurora. Making videos of our cruises and sharing our experiences has become our hobby, they may not be to everyone's tastes but they are our way of remembering the great times we've had, so please keep this in mind - we are not professionals and the complete video is shot and edited on an iPhone in our spare time. The videos are our opinions and experiences while on board.
We may not be the youngest cruisers but we are trying to break the stereotype that cruising is for retired people. On a cruise you will normally find us wondering around the ship taking in the atmosphere (and working our way through the cocktails). Make sure follow us on social media, the links are below.

We hope you enjoy this video and the series?
We’re currently at a hotel as tomorrow we join Sky Princess! Please do follow us on Instagram or Facebook: CruiseMonkeysUK
We won’t be able to reply to all comments, but we will once back 🥰
Enjoy! Can’t wait to see it!
What about sea sickness? Is that a thing on cruise ships?
Say hello to Sky for me.
Luke drank alcohol all day and night but the espresso got him in the end 😂 Never would have considered this ship until watching your series but it looks lovely, so definitely one to add to our list 😀 Thank you guys 🍸
Who would have thought it would be the coffee?! Definitely try her if you can, she is wonderful!
We love you 2! Luke’s definition of a snack is hilarious though 😀
hahahaha!
Thank you once again lads .. you had me creases up from your second 'snack' of a roast dinner. 🤣 .. looking forward to the next lot .. enjoy your next cruise ..
Sorry for the loss of your friend 😢 x
Cruise snacks... hahaha!
Thank you x
Thank you boys for the most amazing video - you guys are absolute naturals and you tell it how it is. I am going on Aurora next week with a load of friends I have never been on a cruise before and your videos have been truly reassuring and give a real overview of what life is like on board aurora. Keep doing what you're doing you're amazing!
Thank you so much! We’re glad you enjoyed the vids! Aurora is a fab ship, admittedly not the newest but she’s really nice, full of charm and the perfect size.
We’re going back on her again this year if that’s any recommendation😉👌🏻
Morning guys lovely filming as usual.
Next visit to Guernsey hop on a bus number 7 from memory and 3-4 euros it takes you around to Vasson and Cobo beaches which are beautiful. You can get off and on the bus anytime.
Thank you and thank you for the tip, we will definitely do that.
Good memories fellas… thanks for sharing another adventure 👍
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching :)
Loved this . Enjoy sky princess I will give you a wave as you come pass sandown isle of wight x
Thank you! Sky was fab!
My husband and I love watching your videos. We are travel advisors here in the states. Started the business after retiring from 48+ years in healthcare leadership administration.
Awww, thank you! :)
The picture of you both at 25:43 is really nice, handsome husbands! You guys make great videos of cruising, thank you for the content.
Thank you!
Great vlog as always!!!! Just booked NCL Pearl in November for my first solo cruise!!! Thanks for sharing your adventures!!!
Your welcome! We’re glad you enjoy our videos! ❤️⚓️ thank you for commenting!
Can't wait to be back on Aurora this year, she was our first cruise ship. Your Sindhu meal looked gorgeous, it's nice that you still get all the extra touches such as the poppadoms which you don't get on Iona. Looks like you had a blast 🤩👏🎉
Have a great cruise, she is a special ship. Yeah, Sindhu on Aurora was much better, they don't do the lunch on Iona either which is a shame. Lets hope that's just a thing at the moment and they will in future!
Yes, your lunch looked amazing too, would like to try. 😋
Oh my goodness loved it. Soooo funny the song the art critic just love you two. Loved seeing the beautiful ship too x
Thank you! We’re so glad you enjoyed! Aurora really is a lovely little ship! ❤️⚓️
P&O was my first contract Australia thought …. Then I transfer to P&o uk joining in Jamaica done 3 contracts there, where all of them was on Aurora :-) meet my husband on board her and always will be strong memories. Last ship to work on ship …. What a memory and today it is our 10th wedding anniversary . Thanks guys great vlog
Aurora really is a special ship! What an amazing story and great memories you have! Congratulations on your Anniversary! 🎉❤️⚓️🎉
What a smashing couple you are. Great to see a holiday so thoroughly enjoyed.
Thanks so much! 😊
I love this ship. The exterior, especially around the end (no idea what the nautical term is!) looks to me exactly what a ship should look like! I am far less keen on the newer Las Vegas vessels. The cruise I want to go on is through the Panama Canal, from Miami to Los Angeles. Maybe one day! Thank you for the video! Have a fabulous week. You are a beautiful couple!
Completely agree, she is what a ship should look like - she really is beautiful inside and out!
Thanks :)
So funny, a light snack and coffee that makes you drunk, what a cruise 😅
Hahaha! Yes, it was a fab cruise :)
Are you ever on a cruise when you're not pissed as a fart luke? Lol not sure going in the hot tub is a good idea when you're drunk 😉
Most mornings and afternoons I’m sober, unless it’s boarding day or the final day, I usually drink earlier to stop earlier then (final day) I’m never on my own in a hot tub after I’ve had a few Gav’s always about just Incase, thanks for your concern though❤️⚓️
Fantastic my just booked 5 nights for my birthday so looking forward to exploring this lovely ship. Thank you for the amazing video. ❤
Ohh fabulous- have a great time 😀
Great video again.
Sat here watching it to get in the mood for our cruise tomorrow....
On Sky!
See you on board 👍
Please don't drink the ship dry next week, save some for us 🍷😉
John & Carole
Hahaha! See you onboard! Don’t be afraid to say hi! We’ll leave some drinks for you! Lol
Luke has made me laugh throughout. Myself and my sister are going on there in 2024 for 20 days.
Ohhhh now that will be a fabulous cruise 😍
You definitely sold me on Aurora... she looks lovely. Great Video - the things you do for us are amazing. 4 tender rides just to get some good views of the ship. Thanks :)
Those views were worth it! It was just so perfect! Aurora is so beautiful we wanted the footage ourselves to look back on too😂
Thanks for the video me and my wife loved this series, I actually feel like I know the ship now for when we go in October, loved watching you guys and your drinking lol.
Went to Guernsey on Britannia and paid one pound for a bus ride to go all around the island, lovely place.
Really can't wait to experience Aurora now after your videos, she looks so unique, thanks again and will be looking forward to more material soon.
Your both legends and I love how you both love life.
Our pleasure! Have a great time, she really is a lovely ship. We will be trying the bus next time :)
💕💕Another Fab series! OMG, Drunken Art Critic Luke👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Take Care Guys, D
Hahaha! Yes, what a critique I am 🙄 just had to leave that bit in, it was too funny 😂 ❤️⚓️
@@CruiseMonkeys Glad you did put it in! Totally agree with your description of the lady 🤣 I won’t spoil it for others!!
We love your content and are going on our first mini cruise as a taster!!
But help - can I bring a travel iron on ? Am going Cunard.
Awww thank you! No, irons are not allowed on any of the cruise ships sorry. Cunard do have laundry rooms where you can use the iron or do any washing/drying needed. Also, you can put it in to be pressed at an extra charge.
l love your videos. So relaxing and so much good food! You are such a sweet couple too. Thank you.
Aww 🥰 thanks
She is geogous it felt comfortable like putting on an old pair of slippers when we got on board. Hope you had a great time on Sky see you soon Ken & Lindsey
Great to hear! Yes, it was fab thank you!
Never fancied cruising on Aurora before but we do now, another absolutely top class vlog, once again many thanks.
Sky Princess, we found it extremely busy and just constantly queueing for everything, lovely ship, staff were great, sadly a fight between a passenger and a waiter, happened so apart from that a good cruise, but we wouldn’t go back on that particular ship, too busy for us.
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, we found they were definitely stretched a little this time around. Hopefully as more staff return things will improve :)
Hi both,
Great video, all looked lovely, enjoy Sky Princess & Norway, watch out for the Trolls🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha! I think the trolls will have to watch out for us lol! We might drink their booze 😂😂❤️⚓️
Looks like you guys REALLY hit it off weather-wise on this cruise. Enjoy Sky!
We were so lucky with the weather we honestly couldn’t believe it! Hoping we get some more sunshine this week 🤞🏻❤️⚓️
@@CruiseMonkeys fingers crossed for you!
Great update chaps and looking forward to the next p!ss up vlogs, sorry "cruise"😁 . Cheers Tony and Tracey. 👍
I love drunk Luke so much. 😂
Northern Lights cruise on Aurora in 2025 for me 😀
Ohhh now that will be a fabulous cruise 😍
I’ve been watching your Arvia Vlogs recently as I am on her in a few weeks. And I came across this video of you guys in Guernsey looking for the famous Blue Bottle Gin! I live in Guernsey, unfortunately the shop that sold it in our town had closed down, but it is still available along with another version of it, Blue Bottle Navy Gin and also a rum called Gold Bug Botanical Rum. If you ever decide to return to the island I’d be happy to help you guys out in getting some 😁
Oh, have a fabulous time on Arvia. Oh yes, that was Aurora last year and our hunt for gin! We did try a local rum, but cant remember the name. We did pick up a bottle of Wheadon's Mandarin Lime & Hibiscus gin, which was very nice! Oh, thank you for the offer! :)
@@CruiseMonkeys I’m sure we all will have a great time, thanks!
I think the rum you tried may have been Indica Rum. There isn’t many that are locally distilled.
Wheadon’s Gin however is also very nice, I prefer it over the Blue Bottle 😁
Another great blog. Aurora looks amazing. You've inspired me to try and rebook.
Thank you - it is definitely worth trying to rebook!
We booking aurora in august cuz of you guys. Fab hope to meet you one day Thankyou
She’s a wonderful ship, enjoy!
keep the great vlogs coming xxx
Great to see your review of the Aurora I am now looking forward to the Northern Lights cruise in Dec, wasnt sure what to expect after sailing on larger and newer ships but it looks amazing.
Hope you enjoy it, we'd love to do a Northern lights cruise on her. She's a fantastic little ship :)
Thank you for that and i can relate to that last day feeling. Luke love your last day song...I normally don't speak, going forward I will adapt to singing now xx
It’s always so sad getting off! 🥲 singing makes it better! Keep singing! ❤️
Thanks for sharing your wonderful experiences on Aurora. She is truly a gorgeous ship. Wish I could experience her too. A little difficult (or planning envoled), living in Australia.
Our pleasure! Yes, P&O don't make it easy for those outside of the UK :(
we got on as you got off,you're so right great ship and crew ,we did 19 nights so defo didn't want to leave x
Glad to hear you had a great time! Aurora is a lovely ship ❤️⚓️
She is enjoy you're next cruise too x
Love this video
Thanks :)
@@CruiseMonkeys I don’t know if u check your email yet I am email you on your email I am Nathan from guernsey
Great series guys. Thank you mich😊🚢
Thank you too!
@@CruiseMonkeys oh and thank you for ignoring my typo🤦🏽♀️
Haha! Thats so cruise life...just going to get a small snack....comes back with a full roast dinner with lashings of gravy!
I also said that and came back to the table with a tikka masala, rice, bombay potatoes and a side of naan bread. Dinner is in an hour and a half! Lol, cruise life 🤣
Yes, that's definitely cruise life haha!
Such a shame this has come to an end, we are definitely going to get booked on Aurora. She looks beautiful and very 'Cunard' if you know what I mean. It's so lovely to see you both enjoying yourself so much 🍻 . Lovely tribute to your dear friend Siany. Enjoy Sky Princess and we look forward to seeing your adventures🤩
Thank you so much! We’re really glad you enjoyed this series Aurora really is a beautiful little ship with lots of charm and character! We’ll say hi to sky! Hopefully we’ll get some more videos up in the next few weeks or so! 🤞🏻❤️⚓️
She IS very Cunard 👍can definitely confirm that- if Cunard is your thing - you'll love the Aurora 🙂
Just come off the ship. Possibly the nicest of the P and O ships. But have not tried Iona tried Ioana yet.
Aurora is a beautiful ship! She’s almost yacht like, we went on Iona in Feb and then Aurora in May and we weren’t disappointed! We loved our time onboard and would love to go back on her.
Best ship in the fleet, ships now are getting to big.you do find those coffee,s are strong 😅If they do replace her I hope it's a ship of the same size.
She is better than some of the newer big ships!
Love gin as well....my favorite restaurant here in Atlanta makes a gin cocktail that is amazing. I don't know all the measurements but the ingredients are below...cheers :)
bombay sapphire gin, elderflower, lemon, mint, peach bitters
Sounds delicious 😋 we’ll have to try that! ❤️thank you!❤️
Great vlog with great info. Thank you. Doing this on 5th July. Regular cruisers but first on Aurora.
Luke - do you drink double the amount of your husband or are you just a bit of a lightweight 😂
Look forward to the next one.
Ohhh, have a fabulous time!
Luke would say he drinks double, and as this is the last day, that is probably right.
Did you go through Bay of Biscay was it rough. Good video
Not this time. We’ve done the BoB a good few times, sometimes smooth others rough. Depends on time of year abs etc but it’s not too bad most of the time - it’s reputation is worse.
Another good video guys
Thank you! ❤️
You should never say no to free cake 😆
This is true! :)
I can get that Gin in NZ go figure - but it's about £39- 40 for a 1L bottle
haha, so not much more than it is there... crazy!
I'm wine ready Xx 🍷🍷
Love it! Enjoy!! ❤️🍷
@@CruiseMonkeys Loved it!!!! When is your next cruise?? Xx
Today! 👌🏻😂😂😂 we’re saying hi to sky again! But this time we’re off to the fjords! 🎉❤️⚓️
@@CruiseMonkeys have the best time!!! We will watch you sail out on the webcam so give us a wave...stay away from coke & expresso's....they are not good for you 🤣🤣 can't wait for the vlogs when you get back...even hubby sits with a beer when we watch them 🍺...stay safe & have fun! Love you both Xx
The sad music 😢
More vlogs to come 👍🏻 we’re boarding sky princess today should have some new videos in a few weeks ❤️❤️
Gavin your lovely
Thanks :)
@@CruiseMonkeys love you two x
are these sponsored? cause that is a lot of money on cruise ships.
No, we’re not sponsored, we just love to cruise & spend all of our money on them 🙄
@@CruiseMonkeys great love the content
Thank you! Our vlogs double up as our own personal holiday videos we often watch them back with family etc which is a bonus too!
@@CruiseMonkeys for sure, documenting a journey is one of the best parts of it.
This must be a lesson learned don't drink soft drinks as they are bad for your health. Stick to the alcohol boys
Yes, they sure are! :)
