P&O Aurora is P&O's smallest and oldest ship, but we think she's a little beauty, full of charm. What's your thoughts?
Happy Anniversary to the both of you! You two are so great with your vlogs. It's also so amazing how all you Brit cruise bloggers seem to be friend, bravo all of you!
Thank you so much!! 😊 Yeah it’s a friendly bunch, this was our first time meeting some of them and it was so nice 👌
That inside cabin looked pretty convenient for an inside cabin. It's in the consideration list. Great to see Chris and Sandra there, and Steph on the dance floor too.
Ooh too small to swing a cat😂
Yeah we thought it was a fab one, decent size and nice and close to the tiered terrace and bars!
As always, it was as fab to see them all 😀
Watched it and thank you sharing your journey
Thanks for watching!
Happy anniversary 🥂you always make me smile….. happy cruising guys xx
Awwww thank you ☺️😀
Happy anniversary. Not been on this one yet. But going on P&O next year. You guys are smashing it, great energy. 😀 (I have those anchor ⚓️ shorts too, lol).
Awwwŵw thank you! They are amazing shorts aren’t they?!
@@CruiseMonkeys lol, sure are, perfect for cruise. Wore mine last week on Scarlet lady.
Happy Anniversary Gavin & Luke, Hope you had a great cruise x
Thank you. It was fabulous 😍
A lovely ship, even empty and after hours the pool area looked good. Attention to details and upkeep make the difference I think.
Yes, she’s a lovely ship and they definitely seem to be looking after her!
I've only sailed Britannia and Iona on Pando. Seeing how much you love this older lady, I'm tempted to give her a try. Happy belated anniversary ! 🙂
She’s a lovely little ship! Small compared to those you been in, but had a whole different feel! She does short cruises so worth a look! Thank you 🙏
Awwww happy anniversary guys! I will be on Aurora for 3 nights in July. Really looking forward to it 😊
Thank you! Ohhh you’ll have a fantastic time- a lovely ship 😍
Looked like you had a fab and fun first night on your celebration cruise 🎉. We really must try Aurora, she looks a beauty 🚢
It’s was brill, thank you! Yes, you must try Aurora - fab little ship.
Awww brilliant video guys, It brought back lovely memories for me as I did Aurora’s Maiden World Cruise Jan 2001, have been on her a lot and she is so special to me, but not been on her for a while now, so thanks for the memories 😊🥰. By the way it’s lines and not ropes 😂😂😂 only jesting with you. 😀. Keep cruising and enjoying life 👍
Glad you enjoyed it she really is a special ship isn’t she? 😃
Happy Anniversary!

Happy happy anniversary to the cutest monkeys I know ❤❤
What a treat to see so many Brit cruise vloggers sharing a toast! As if a bunch of Marvel or DC superheroes assembled on deck for a sail away! Cheers! 🍹
Hahahaha! And totally unplanned too, as we got closer to the cruise day we learnt more had booked it 🤣 was fab to meet so many lovely people 😍
We'll be sailing on her for the second time in September & also have an inside cabin. We'll be celebrating our pearl anniversary & my birthday on the same day while we are on our trip of a lifetime to canada. Thanks for the vlog guys & happy belated anniversary ❤️
Ohhh what a fabulous cruise to celebrate your anniversary and birthday - we’re sure you’ll have a fabulous time!

My favourite P&O ship by far, stunning in every way.
Great vlog, guys.
She really is stunning! Thank you ☺️
Happy anniversary 🎉

To us we just love Aurora and so Easy to get Around Been on her 4 times Thanks again and Enjoy the Rest of your cruise 🚢
We agree, getting from A to B is quick and easy. Love the ship.
Lovely ship, lovely staff. Not to forget to mention, coffee and free cake.
💯- fab ship and staff! Yea it’s great they still do free cake with coffee still unlike on Iona and Arvia!
Happy anniversary fellas! Looks like you both had a fab time with other UK bloggers on your favourite ship. Great memories for both of you. Super sunset too.
Thank you! Yea it was a fab time, totally accidental we booked the same one too! 🤣 Great to meet up with them 🥰
Happy Anniversary!💗
Thank you so much 😀
Not been on Aurora, looks lovely, might have to dip a toe, looks like you had a fab anniversary
Oh your really should, a lovely little ship! Thank you, it was fab ❤️
Happy anniversary Boys. Have a great time.
Thank you 😀
Happy Anniversary, love you both, enjoying life, no explanations ❤
Thank you 😍
Congratulations on your Anniversary Lads, glad to see you are having a great time so far. Glad you didn’t have the nightmare we had in the, Beach House, looking 👀 forward to the next instalment.
Thank you! Ohhh, no beach house was wonderful on here! 😀
Nice to see youback enjoying Aurora , Steak was sizzling, and disco moves 😊
Thanks 🤩 the steak was good! 👍
Happy anniversary!
Thank you 🤩
Such a beautiful sailaway ❤. Aurora aft is stunning 😍
It certainly is! They don’t make ships like that anymore! We can’t wait to hear from the others when they get back tomorrow be interesting to see how it all went, Friday will be an interesting chat! 😬❤️
Happy Anniversary Looks like you had great fun the cake looked delicious 😊 We have booked cabin A304 on Aurora next January for a 65day cruise . Can you remember if one wardrobes was split so has two hanging rails so double space for Tops and shirts. I was pleading with the camera open the wardrobes open the wardrobes pleaseeee 😂😂 I wanted to see the layout and if any shelves as you can imagine a cruise that long, storage is going to be an issue lol
Thank you! You have 3 cupboards, a double and a single.
The double had two long shelves the whole width. Life jacket on the top and then space for folded clothes on the other. You also have a single rail for the whole width.
In the single one, you don’t have any shelves, just two rails so you can hang clothes on the top rail and the lower rail.
Hope that helps. Enjoy!!
Thanks for replying 👍 the 2 rails in the smaller wardrobe will def help
@karen6603 no probs! We find these older ships do have more space than some of the newer ones. You do have a laundrette on that deck in the forward section which I’m sure will be handy on a 65 day cruise! It will be wonderful cruise looking at where your off and that cabin is ideal, so close to the terrace, it will be like a giant balcony!
Great vlog once again. Happy Anniversary to you both. Was lovely to hear Carole singing 😂😂😂.
I always have a good laugh watching you getting tipsy 😂😂😂. Looking forward to the next one. Diolch xx
Glad you enjoyed it! They are a right hoot! Diolch!
Cabin looks great. 😊
It was a fab lil cabin 👌
Happy Anniversary!! 🎉 This ship looks lovely, think she looks much younger than Azura. What an amazing location for your cabin. You guys are hilarious! 😂
Thank you! Yeah they’ve looked after her well, some areas like bathrooms dated but not sure there is much you can do but the ship is so lovely, full of character!
Happy anniversary! We did a 16 night cruse in the cabin next door in summer 2022, or second time in Aurora and we loved it. Got engaged on that holiday too ❤
Thank you! Oh wow, how fantastic! She’s definitely the love boat as it’s where we got engaged too!
Loved watching this one - I'm now watching this back and wishing I had eaten some of that cake - it looks great, ha!
Delighted to have made the cut in the 'goodness knows what time it is' elevator, haha!
(Thanks again for being such great company on this cruise!)
Glad you enjoyed it and it was such a pleasure to finally meet you! Hopefully we can do it again, but a bit longer so we can chat some more!
The cake was sooo good! Don’t worry, think Paul had your piece 🤣
@@CruiseMonkeys ha, as long as it went to a good home, that’s fine 😂 I’m 100% up for doing it again - any time!
I wish they still had Orianna and Oceana… especially Oceana… gone too soon
Ah we only did them the once. Nice little ships 👍👍
Nice size inside cabin. I liked the fact it was close to the outside door! Was it noisy at all at night?
Not at all, even though we were on the corner we didn’t hear any foot traffic going past and nothing from above or below. 👍
@@CruiseMonkeys thank you for the info. We are definitely thinking about Aurora and this just might sway us!!
Love your work a lot. Would be great if we could differentiate your cruises that you pay that the cruise line doesn't know you are onboard, vs free and perked trips that give you a different experience than the rest of us punters. So we know whether to spend big money for some of us. I think it's cool, you should have fun and be spoiled. I l9ve watching your content no matter what, bit would be great to know. Totally get you have to love everything when they pay you, so it would be so great for your customers if you would be able to differentiate. Thank you!
For avoidance of any doubt, we fully paid for this cruise ourselves. The wine and cake were gifts from our followers.
The UK Advertising Standards Agency and Social media platforms like RUclips have strict rules, when you are given something for free or hosted on a trip you MUST declare this upfront. We do this every time.
In over 40 cruises, we have only ever received the 1 night onboard Queen Anne last month, the 7 night Virgin cruise last year and the 7 night Avalon cruise in 2022. In all these videos we clearly state we were invited and you’ll see on the video RUclips puts up a notice saying ‘includes paid promotion’.
@CruiseMonkeys awesome, and well deserved. Also you deserve freebies if you get them. I'll watch either way, just good for me to know the difference when it happens. Love your work!
Just put off P&o ships because of the frequency of norovirus and other types of on board sicknesses recently …..just left Southampton last week after disembarking Queen Anne and both Aurora and Britannia were plagued…shame
To be fair, P&O have the most ships leaving the U.K. at the moment, which may be be why your hearing more P&O as in general, Noro has been higher in the U.K. over the last month or two. We have heard of other cruise lines with noro issues recently.
Regular hand washing and sanitising is what’s needed and something we do on all our cruises. Unfortunately some people still don’t wash their hands after using the toilet 🤢
Honestly, don’t be put off!
@@CruiseMonkeys the conduct of people in the buffet has a huge impact on the spread of bacteria / virus etc …
Good hygiene is really the essential factor … great videos chaps ..really enjoy your upbeat and honest reviews , keep em coming 😎😎👍👍👍
Hey guys. Did you stay at The Ibis in Southampton? If so, is it walking distance to Mayflower terminal?
Yea, we did :)
We wouldn’t want to walk it to be honest - city or horizon yes, but mayflower is further along. For the £6 is costs it is worth getting a taxi (we use west quay cars / radio taxi but Southampton also has Uber)
@@CruiseMonkeys Great. Thanks. I usually travel up on the day of sailing but have decided to stay overnight this time.😄
