Aurora Review

Additional details
I am brand new to the cruise reviews but a very long term big fan of aurora. Our first cruise on her was in july2000 which was the year of her launch. My partner & I and our two daughters then age 8 & 11 were first time cruisers and we did not know what to expect.
What we got was the best family holiday that we had ever had, the ship was beautiful, the food superb and the ships staff from cabin steward to captain were amazing! We were 'hooked'.
We have since then cruised on aurora in July which is family holiday time every year, except for this year. (family circumstances meant we could not go, it broke my heart that 'my ship' was sailing without me this year) after that first cruise we invited my parents to cruise with us, bit of a mixed reaction from them "cruising is not for the likes of us dad said" anyway they came with us and have now accompanied us on every cruise since! (including new year on the oriana which was superb)
Cabin Review
In 2011 we were upgraded to a mini suite. Oh the luxury of a spacious bed and sitting room, double basin bathroom with jacuzzi bath and phone! Extra large balcony with floor to ceiling triple width patio doors. Sun loungers and chairs on the balcony. Fruit and water in our room and complementary canapes each evening before dinner. I have experienced virtually every grade of cabin except the penthouse, the smallest inside cabins are fine then they just get bigger and better but all the services are the same for all of them.
