Our SEA DAY of SURPRISES and RETRO food on P&O Aurora - DAY 4 VLOG

On day 4 we sailed form the port of Hamburg, Germany towards Zeebrugge, Belgium on our Northern Europe P&O Aurora cruise. After our New Years Eve celebrations we started the morning late and made our way to breakfast in the Horizon Restaurant. The weather was getting progressively worse throughout the day and we received some disappointing news regarding our next port. We spent the day exploring the ship in detail. We dined for lunch and our evening meal in the Medina Restaurant, this is the freedom dining venue onboard P&O Aurora. During our evening meal Dom had flashbacks to his school dinner days. We were treated to a matinee performance in the Curzon Theatre from Laura Megann. In the evening were surprised by the choice of show. We spent the evening in Andersons, until it closed, and carried on our festivities in Masquerades with some great company.

We are Tom and Dom and we experienced our first cruise on the MSC Virtuosa during her UK staycation cruises in 2021. 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.

Hi guys I am a 73 year old Nan and love cruising,with my family and friends but more importantly I love you two boys and watching your blogs, they are so informative and full of fun Now before I book a cruise I look for one of your videos on KZbin or facebook, so keep up the good work,so if you need a grandma to accompany you on any of your cruises I’m your girl Xx

[@TomandDomTravel]

Thank you so much! 😊 What a joy to read your wonderful comment. You are absolutely welcome anytime. What cruise do you have in mind?

[@susanmillis2754]

Hi Guys, Next Cruise I am going on is the Norway,s North, Cape, and land of the midnight sun with Ambassador Ambience on the 17/6/24 for 13 days not been on Ambassador before but after watching you lovely boy thought I would give it a try, going with a friend Xx

[@sistersontheseas]

Great video! Brings back good memories of a funny night!

[@TomandDomTravel]

Can you believe the DJ didn’t turn up

[@sistersontheseas]

@@TomandDomTravel I know! Good job we didn’t let it spoil our night!

[@TomandDomTravel]

@sistersontheseas 🤣🤣

[@amesavis]

i love you tom and dom you are so cute

[@TomandDomTravel]

😃😃

[@pumpkin462]

That food makes celebrity look like crystal!

[@minorthing8970]

I shouldn't think you'd get butter scraped on your plate at a dogruff roadside cafe! No wonder you were miffed! Glad you guys still found plenty to smile about.

[@TomandDomTravel]

Thanks for watching. For the most part we enjoyed the ship but some things really negatively impacted the whole experience

[@minorthing8970]

@@TomandDomTravel I also had a marathon catch up on your Iceland cruise last night. Stunning scenery. Thanks guys.

[@lotuspoint]

We were on Ventura for the new year cruise and after leaving Amsterdam on New Year’s Day we had an unexpected sea day too!

[@TomandDomTravel]

Yes I think we pretty much did the same route back to Southampton

[@cathywilcox514]

Great video - I’m sailing with Ken and his wife on QA next week; they look fun! I CANT get over this “butter scrape” service - it’s truly REVOLTING!!! Is this now the norm with P&O Do you think?

[@TomandDomTravel]

Thanks for watching Cathy. We have since cruised on Iona and thankfully that wasn’t the case. Have fun with Ken and Lindsey

[@marecianoble5826]

On ventura last year my bread and butter pudding had meringue on top. Iv never known this before and on my way out I told them " tell the chef that meringue has no place on bread and butter pudding ". One of my favourite desserts spoilt .😪

[@TomandDomTravel]

Thanks for watching. Oh wow! That is so strange. Hopefully they didn’t repeat it after your feedback

[@peteonthemove]

This looks like it`s been a poor experience on Aurora. We really liked her on a short cruise to Amsterdam, but that was a few years ago. What are your views on P&O generally @Tom&Dom ?

[@TomandDomTravel]

Thanks for watching. We have generally enjoyed our cruises with P&O. For the price they are charging we do think they are great value. We have done an Iona cruise recently. A much better experience

[@carolr9301]

I was on this cruise, I didn’t have a poor experience.

[@TomandDomTravel]

Which cruise? We didn’t say we had a poor experience on Aurora.

[@tombrown8281]

We have been on the Aurora 3 times and all been good can’t fault her

[@kevinwilshire]

@@tombrown8281 What they dont show you on these videos is the blocked toilets , no running hot water , a smell running threw the ship , water coming threw the ceilings with buckets laid out to catch the water , and not forgetting the rust around the ship . Swimming pools freezing so you cant get in them and the whirl pool not working .

[@kevinwilshire]

The main dining rooms can make or break your cruise , because you will normally meet someone you dont like or they dont like you . And to be honest the meals are like school dinners and you have to ask for second helpings . If i could i would just go in for three lots of ice cream and get out of the place .

[@TomandDomTravel]

Doesn’t sound like a good experience

[@VisualApproach]

When do you film the bits to camera? The morning after? Your production has peaked my curiosity 😂

[@TomandDomTravel]

Yes it can vary it’s often filmed the following day. Unless you watch the last day where we film on the day including after a few wines 😬

[@ianellison4345]

Have you been on queen mary 2

[@TomandDomTravel]

Yes we have it was our first Cunard experience

[@ianellison4345]

It our favourite ship just book 28 nights round trip to Canada on September 2026 keep up with the good work

[@TomandDomTravel]

@ianellison4345 we are hoping to get back on as this was before we vlogged. Any plans for QA?

[@ianellison4345]

We are on queen anne in October

[@louised4260]

I’ve heard that this new year cruise was a S…show. Everyone raves about the Aurora too. Not for me especially seeing those chairs outside the restaurant. I would prefer the Azura I think

[@TomandDomTravel]

Thanks for watching. Lots of P&O fans say Aurora is their favourite ship but it just didn’t work out that way for us. We however loved our Azura cruise

[@carolr9301]

It wasn’t for me. I was on this cruise and I had a lovely time.

[@carolr9301]

It wasn’t a s show, far from it.

[@SteveR100AU]

Hmmm I think you are both too kind. There appears to be too much poor management on that ship to be positive , it presents like a Butilins on sea

[@TomandDomTravel]

Thank you for watching. There certainly was a communication problem. Nobody from management was available to talk

[@abrahamclott5604]

Yikes! Woken up by noise below after 3 hours sleep. No place to eat your breakfast for which you had no appetite anyway except for a deserted and frigid pool deck. Chased around the upper deck by crew madly trying to shut the place down. Confined to a hospital waiting room till a table (bed?) opens up for lunch. Then you're served seaweed, and desserts of unknown gelatinous substances and tasteless gunk. Brushed off--again--by Customer Service. To top off the day, the DJ doesn't show for the evening entertainment. Glad the shows, window seat, and meet up with friends at the end were all good. But this day needs a do-over.

[@TomandDomTravel]

Thanks for watching. Absolutely! 🤣

[@kevinwilshire]

You dont want to get up for breakfast anymore its dreadful with people walking about with cold food on there plates also looking for somewhere to sit . People eating in the special restaurants were you have to pay , when youve already payed for food when you booked the cruise .

[@TomandDomTravel]

That is a real shame. Breakfast was always very busy. There certainly should be enough capacity
