Customer reviews for Aurora
Very,very small cabins Average food Alcohol clasic package is a joke(25 ml. alcohol in every drink) Shore excursions are pure robbery. The shows are good Service people are amaizing
Smallest ship but felt roomy… could always get a seat where and when we wanted Evening entertainment excellent in general Daytime activities catered for a more mature clientele and always the same every day which made it more difficult on sea days for us so lots of reading Ate mainly in the main restaurant where food was very good with a reasonable choice… small potions but can always order more Buffet restaurant the food wasn’t as good and very similar every day Lido deck grill served excellent fast food (burger hotdog pizza) which was always cooked to order and excellent Staff throughout were friendly and helpful… only once did we experience a “ grump” As we missed a port due to weather conditions there felt a lot of sea days but loved the holiday which being winter was very different to a summer cruise Saw the northern lights which was very special Overall enjoyed the ship and holiday very much
Beautiful ship. Love the fact that it is a small ship and adults only. Food is good although selection of salads is very poor. Entertainment is okay.
We found the ship, facilities/activities and crew to be good. We enjoyed our time aboard the Aurora.
