I dont know why background needs to be so loud nowadays, like tv and and now on these. The story is the thing background sound, not necessary. Thank you.. karen Otter. 79 yrs

In my humble opinion the Aurora is the finest real ship afloat. Perfect size and handles heavy seas well. I did a half world tour from Brisbane to Southampton and enjoyed every second. I travelled alone in a window cabin overlooking the rear pool. I forget my cabin number although 1403 pops into my mind. It was a long time ago. We spent around 4 days laid up in Auckland while a propeller shaft thrust bearing was replaced. P&O paid for some sight seeing tours. I think maybe I was among the few who actually enjoyed the unexpected Kiwi holiday. Despite the breakdown we still arrived in Southampton on time. IMHO the Aurora should still be sailing well into the future. There's nothing afloat to match it!

Hi, Thanks for your comments. My family and I sailed on Aurora many times and I must agree that she is a 'proper' cruise ship. Let's hope she keeps sailing for many more years to come.

I recently had the clock valued and they came up with an auction estimate of $3000. The problem you would have is the cost of shipping it to the USA. I’m guessing that a courier would probably want another $500 to ship. If you are keen, we can talk some more about how we can arrange this. Many thanks for your interest. I would completely understand if the total cost would be prohibitive.

It took me a couple of years to build the Addams Family clock and although it would be quicker the second time around, I haven't got the time at the moment to build another one. However, I have posted full build instructions and detailed plans on instructables.com (link in the video description) Your best bet is to find someone in the USA that can build one for you. It isn't that difficult if they have a laser cutter and some basic electronics experience. It would cost around $500 excluding labour costs. If you were based in the UK I would consider selling my prototype to you, but shipping it to the USA would probably be too expensive as the clock is quite large, heavy and fragile. Many thanks for your interest.

Was on the Maiden Mini Cruise to Biscay and back because of the shaft bearing issue.However we’ve had another 5 fabulous cruises on Aurora since.Still looks like a ship compared to the floating apartment blocks that are the new ships.Much preferred Aurora to Oriana at that time and my niece had her wedding on Aurora so happy memories.Always made me laugh P&Os promotional films always had about 8 passengers mostly the same people.Nice to see some of the old crew like Steve Bourgogne driving and Alistair Clarke as DC.Even Sally Holyoake (an authentic passenger )using the ketchup machine

Thanks for your comments. We also had many happy cruises on Aurora and Oriana. We did have a soft spot for Oriana though as it was our first P&O cruise and our kids made many friends onboard. However, I think Aurora was a better ship (it didn't vibrate as much lol) We have recently sailed on Arvia and Iona and, although I agree with you they do look like floating apartment blocks, we had a great time onboard both. Cruising has changed considerably since the 'old days', at least P&O keep the British feel onbaord.

We sailed on Arcadia II in the Caribbean in 2001 (shortly before she moved to P&O Australia, I think) and had a wonderful time on board. That was the last time we saw Matthew Bijou (the restaurant manager) He was our waiter on Oriana in 1995 and had worked his way up to be the boss! We've not seen him since, although I have been told he still works for P&O. Like you, we have many happy memories of cruising and we have met many lovely people (crew and passengers) over the years.

I cruised on The Oriana in the mid 1970's with my parents and younger brother, from Southampton, and the brass band sail away, we visited Spain, Madeira, Morocco, The Azores, Lanzarote and finally Lisbon, before cruising back to Blighty. My recollections were the swells traversing the bay of Biscay, the indian food selection, served with luncheon every day(many of the kitchen brigade were from Goa) my introduction to a favourite cuisine of mine ever since, the home made after dinner chocolates, the disco/nightclub playing all of the Saturday Night fever style 12 inches, the swimming pools having their own waves when the ship was going through rougher waters and one of the very first Space Invader machines. Fantastic family holiday.

Hey Peter! Wow you are well travelled!! My partner and I are thinking of the Arvia over Christmas this year....would you recommend? Were there lots of families/kids there last year? Thanks!! 🎄🛳
@scottydog58 Жыл бұрын
Yes, I absolutely would recommend Arvia. It's a large ship but not as tacky as some of the American giants. They still cater very much for the British market, so if you have been on a P&O ship before you will feel at home. There will likely be a lot of people on board (and kids) over the Christmas period but there are plenty of places to hide on the open decks. The ship has a lot of public spaces and it's much wider than a mid-sized ship so it feels more spacious. It's only my opinion but I think you should give it a go. The ship itself is beautiful and many of the new features will come as a refreshing change for you. The theatre is amazing with millions of pounds spent on the audio visual effects. There are also many alternative dining options (at a small charge) but the variety of things to do each day makes Arvia different to the smaller P&O ships. I would recommend the Limelight Club, we have been several times now and it was amazing each time. Well worth the cover charge. My wife and I have been cruising for nearly 30 years now (many years with the kids as well) and by rights we shouldn't like Arvia (we are now both in our 60s and should like the 'old fogey' ships) but we have found Arvia to be a breath of fresh air. We already have two cruises on Arvia booked for 2024 including Christmas, so that should say it all! Remember, it's only my opinion, everyone is looking for something different.
