Creator's Key Takeaways

the buffet area here on Aurora isn't that big Aurora is a smaller ship but we still find it very very tight here and quite difficult to find a seat at Peak time

the coffee in the buffet not very nice at all I couldn't drink it I had one Sip and that was me done

the soup was delicious thoroughly enjoyed it we were offered a bread roll if you watched our previous Vlog from yesterday you'll know that we were a little bit concerned because they just scraped the butter onto our side plate but lo and behold at lunch today there was a butter dish so I was very very pleased

the ribs were superb the meat just fell off the bone incredibly tasty and delicious and we'd highly highly recommend them again

YouTube Video Description

Day 2 was our first full day onboard P&O Aurora. It was a sea day as we made our way to Hamburg, Germany from Southampton, UK. In the morning, we dined in the Horizon Buffet Restaurant for Breakfast and used the time to continue exploring Aurora. The outdoor areas are extensive and there are several spaces for activities such as quoits and shuffleboard. For lunch we dined in the Medina Restaurant and found the menu choice limited. We spent time exploring the shops onboard and watched the Pinnacle Quiz in the Curzon Theatre. We spent a leisurely afternoon in the Crow’s Nest. In the evening, we dined for the first time at The Beach House and watched the Headliners cast production of Applause. We ended the evening in the Crows Nest.

We are relatively new to cruising, however we can now say we are officially hooked. Our mission is provide a fair and balanced review of our travels. We look at the types of food that is available onboard, from main dining rooms, room service, buffets and pool side snacks. We include menus for each of cruises so that we can share the selection of drinks and meals that are available. Entertainment onboard a cruise ship is important to us and we enjoy theatre production shows, live music, quizzes and game shows. We love to explore different ports and destinations and enjoy sharing tips and tricks so that you can make the most of each port. We often explore ports independently but also book excursions that are interesting to us.
