Trip Bacon β€” The secret ingredient to the perfect getaway logo

Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creators document their second day at sea aboard the P&O Azura, focusing on dining experiences and the ship's formal night. They begin the day with breakfast at the Peninsula restaurant, where they emphasize the efficiency of using the virtual queue app to avoid long waits. After exploring the pool decks and finding a quiet spot on Deck 18, they participate in a movie theme tune bingo activity in the Coral Pool and Breakers Bar area. The vlog details their preparation for celebration night, which involves using the onboard laundromat to iron formal attire. During the formal dinner at the Meridian Restaurant, they enjoy a five course meal, noting the high level of passenger participation in formal dress. The evening continues with a captain's welcome party in the atrium, a vocal performance by Harry Lineker in the theater, and comedy at the Manhattan Bar. They conclude their night by visiting the Malabar bar and enjoying the late night buffet, which they highly recommend for its variety and selection before retiring to their cabin.
