She's certainly a classic cruise ship. No thrills like skating rinks or zip wires, but great for relaxing onboard and being transported across the sea to your next port. Love these type of ships. The aft terraced, curved decks are so reminiscent of Fred Olsen Balmoral's aft. A great feature and place to park yourself and watch the ocean. Nice short tour Steve 👍
It's certainly different to Sky Princess. Nowhere near as grand and "sparkly" but it has a charm which is difficult to quantify. I wouldn't hesitate about cruising on her again.
Nice ..... for the time being I'm just enjoying the convenience of Southampton as we've flown long haul for the past 15 years or more for our holidays. We'll get back to it I'm sure when we do a Caribbean cruise. I look forward to hearing about it.
@travelumbrella my Father in law wanted to go on one he has never cruised before so New Ship first Time Cruise Caribbean. At least 7 or 8 days at sea looking forward to. Will be back on the Aurora next year
I don't have much to compare it to as our only other cruise was on Sky Princess which was certainly another level up food wise. I would rate the food as OK but not outstanding. You won't go hungry but it's not fine dining.
Nice ship. Looks very different to Ventura. May have to try and book one! Great video1
It's quite traditional in its design. Not glitzy but we liked it.
Thanks for video The Crows Nest looks very relaxing
It was. A great place to have a drink and listen to some chilling music.
LOVE a proper library! So many ships have gotten rid of them.
It wasn't huge but it was, as you say, a proper library with a "library like" ambience. I liked it.

Hi what was the buffet like ? Food wise was there much of a choice? We literally come of the brittania and was disappointed with the food
