Creator's Key Takeaways

the best puddings on piano, the funniest buffet on the water, and the worst specialtity dining this year so far.

I romanced the elderly. I ate at every possible venue, and just once I smelled a smelly smell from the past, which reminded me that buffets are not the worst food at sea.

All in all, this cost me $29.75 and I didn't enjoy enough to pay extra for it. And whilst I will be returning to Aurora, I won't be coming back here.

I really enjoyed it. It was for sure the best dish I ate on board.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Avoid the specialty dining at Sindhu if you're looking for value.
Stick to the main dining rooms for better meals.
Try the lasagna in Medina for a satisfying lunch.

Patreon Opens June 8 - Limited Members - ONE Perk! I Ate Everywhere So You Don’t Have To P&O Aurora may be one of the older ships in the fleet, but what is the food actually like onboard in 2026? In this full dining review, I eat my way around Aurora — from the main dining rooms to Sindhu, Raffles, Lido Grill, late-night buffet snacks, breakfast, lunch, dinner, puddings, burgers, mystery smells, surprise bangers and one speciality dining experience that left me wondering why I bothered paying extra. This was only a short cruise, but I packed in as much food as possible because I am nothing if not committed to the noble art of stuffing my fat face in the name of cruise journalism. Expect honest opinions, questionable portion control, unexpected nostalgia, one of the funniest buffet moments I’ve ever seen. A full verdict on whether dining on P&O Aurora is still worth getting excited about. No beige waffle. No pretending everything is “lovely”. Just the good, the bad, the baffling, and the pudding. Here, ladies and gentlemen… WE GO!
