Creator's Key Takeaways

The cardio equipment in particular is looking its age. It all worked okay, but it was not the current range.

It hurts me to say it because I love this ship, but this is the worst floating fitness center that I have been in so far.

And if you can't close your rings in here, then that really says more about you.

It's wide, it's wooden, it's wicked.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the prom deck for steps instead of the gym treadmills.
Take the stairs if physically able to stay in shape.
Be mindful of food choices: ask for more meat, watch carbs and sauces, avoid puddings.

YouTube Video Description

Can you stay fit on P&O Aurora, or is the gym just a cupboard with delusions of grandeur? In this Aurora gym and fitness review, I take a look at the fitness centre, the cardio kit, the resistance machines, the free weights, the classes, the prom deck, the stairs, the food options, and whether it is actually possible to stay in shape on this tiny little classic cruise ship. Aurora may be one of P&O’s smaller, older ships, but she also has one of the finest promenade decks at sea — which is just as well, because the gym is… compact. If you care about cruising, fitness, walking laps, avoiding buffet-based life choices, or simply watching a grown man emotionally process dated Technogym equipment while staring at people in a hot tub, this one is for you. Staying in shape on P&O Aurora. Here, ladies and gentlemen… WE GO!
