Part 1 - So what is this cruising lark all about? We try a 4-night P and O cruise from Southampton onboard the P and O Aurora.
This was our very first cruise. We have a look at the P&O ship as we cruise to Zeebrugge and Bruges before heading to Guernsey.
The price of a balcony cabin was £349 pp.
In Part 1 we see what embarkation from Southampton is like and take a tour of the ship before spending a day at sea before docking at Zeebrugge for a tour of Bruges.
Next time we take a look at Bruges itself as well as the trip to St Peter Port in Guernsey.
So will we like it and become regular cruises?

I found this a few weeks later. This is a good cruise for first timers, we did it on our tenth but still loved it. As another cruise blogger said, the worst day on a cruise is better than the best day in the office. We took our kids on their first cruise on an similar itinerary, as we drove up my daughter saw the ship - Britannia and said 'there is no need for that!'. Once they were on the upper deck with cocktails and fried chicken their views mellowed. After that they thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep reviews going and keep cruising.

LOVED this video! Your excitement is contagious. Now that you've been bitten by the balcony/verandah cabin bug, there's no going down. If you want to vlog dinners, ask for a table for 2 and definitely request to change your dining time from early to late or 8:00 p.m., if that is your preference. A great vlogger reference is Paul & Carole Love To Travel - fellow Brits and so funny, not unlike you. I'm now going to watch Part 2.

Allways went for a balcony after the 1st ship. If you get confined to your cabin thru illness you can sit outside.... try the carribean folks it was great. Enjoy all your cruises.

We had freedom dining but on celebration nights unless you went to dine early got busy in the sit down restaurants so alway go by 6-6.30 then you will get a table after 7pm you may have to wait,will book select dining for 8.30 pm next time, all a learning curve.whatever ship you sail on do select dining if you want a restaurant second sittings always best i think.

Yes that’s a boat compared to the big cruise ships, they are building the titanic the 2nd they say online so delayed I think by things.if you like it shipmates go bigger every time on the ships a new angle for you,think you’ve missed fishfingers with the captain though,they normally dress for dinner white suit look fine on you marcus and that doll Mel hanging of your arm,that’s the cruise life as I imagine it still is

Is this ship ok for a disabled person in a wheelchair is there like ramps and larger rooms for my wheelchair ?
@flydriveexplore
@flydriveexplore Жыл бұрын
There are lifts but I'm not sure. If you contact P&O directly, I'm sure they would have details of the wheelchair-accessible ships and cabins.

The Aurora does have adapted rooms for the disabled. The times we have been on the ship, there were quite a few people with wheel chairs and scooters .

Apparently American retirees buy a permanent room on the big cruise ships and live on them! It’s a really cheap way of living

I would have laughed at that but now I've been on one, I can see why they would do it.
