"Saint Maarten remains one of my favourite resorts with its long beach of white sand offering plenty of space even when sharing it with four other cruise ships.P&O rewards loyalty and I was one of 250 Ligurians on board who were invited to lunch at a very select beachside restaurant in Barbados...."Read More

1-8 of 8 P&O Aurora Cruise Reviews for Senior to the Panama Canal & Central America
It was when Lorena, Sous Chef in the Horizon self-service restaurant, asked me on the first morning what sort of bread I preferred for my breakfast toast that I had an inkling that Aurora was going to deliver something special. The 65-night Grand Tour to the USA and Caribbean certainly did that, starting each day with seeded bread for my toast, baked by Lorena and cheerfully delivered to my table ...
The opportunity to travel up the Amazon, Central America and Caribbean. The whole cruise was excellent in every way. The many ports of call, experiencing so many places, the excursions well organised. The crew were excellent, a happy ship and you felt it. Nothing was too much trouble. The waiters couldn’t oblige you more. Entertainment on the whole good including the Headliners shows. The ...
We were on Aurora's Grand Voyage in 2015 when we went round South America to Australia and back. The bits we missed on that trip we enjoyed doing on this one. Captain Pembridge who joined in Rio from his usual ship Britannia is obviously a guy on the top of his game. We travelled with him on Aurora back in 2009 and were impressed then. When he joined we were confident that we’d have a good cruise. ...
We like the Aurora for longer journeys having been on a world cruise on this ship. However were very disappointed with the entertainment on this South America Voyage. The majority of the acts - some good - were in the same vein ie songs from the shows. We appreciate that it may be difficult and expensive to fly multiple acts long distances but perhaps P and O should take this into account when ...
We chose this cruise from Sanfransisco to Southampton initially as a relaxing way home after visiting our daughter and her family who live nearby. Our Hotel was excellent and the excursion to Napa Valley Wine Country across the Golden Gate Bridge was very interesting...
The instant we boarded we felt at home, a wonderful atmosphere, everyone very friendly, including the staff, from the ...
Price/smaller ship/traditional ship (2000 passengers?)
The ship is traditional older class and embarks on a world cruise in Southampton UK once a year in January .Special deals are offered to fill some legs of the journey at reduced prices perhaps to sell the cabins and ours was Singapore to Fremantle section ...Last year we did Darwin to Hong Kong
I can't believe how much the service and ...
If this was our first cruise we would have thought well it was OK but, we have had 3 cruises in total so we had something to compare this cruise with.
The balcony cabin was the smallest we had been in and not a lot of room for a lengthy journey. The shore trips were too expensive and were not value for money.
When the Captain gave messages over the public address system it was as if he was ...
We booked onto this 22 night cruise on P&O Aurora direct with P&O on a vantage fair with a price guarantee stating that if the price reduces we will get the difference in onboard credit or an appropriate upgrade. When we found the price £700 cheaper per person a few weeks before the cruise we were told that this was a getaway fare and our price guarantee didn't include this. After pestering P&O we ...
