Creator's Key Takeaways

it's probably the poorest Buffet on any of the Pano ships I'm really sorry about that

the pools on board three great size pools and they are heated indeed the Terrace ball has been heated to 28° C it's a delight

specialty dining on board piano Aurora was very good quality and we think good value as well

we would Sail on Pino Aurora again in fact we were already booked for a long weekend in August
