Kiel looks like an interesting port, we’d definitely like to visit. We’d really like to see Up all night, looks lots of fun
@@sistersontheseas Up all night along with Applause are two of our favourite shows on Aurora
Love you two ❤ so cute!
@@staceywarburton352 Thanks Stacey
Once again another great vlog… very informative, we have booked this exact experience in Kiel, I’m sure hubby is going to love it!!
@@tinawebber8223 it was a good trip and quite moving
That pictorial representation of all the ships lost at sea in the two wars was amazing! As with all your series, really enjoying your trips into port - thanks😊
@@lesleywaghorn1627 Hi Lesley it was quite a moving experience. As you say the ships on the wall were quite staggering especially when you think of the people that were on the ships at the time.
The Memorial looked like a very interesting place to visit, the submarine would have probably been a little to claustrophobic for me. I’m pleased to hear that you managed to get some sleep, that must have been some snoring 😴
@@ALifeintheParks I have never experienced a noise that loud coming from a neighbouring cabin.
Hi both, Enjoying your Baltic cruise , Kiel looks nice , was that a beach in the distance?
@@janemayhew1442 Yes it was a beach. We had a great time on this cruise and in the main had great weather
Another enjoyable video. Hope we can cruise with you both some day🚢😀
@@warrenwolf4690 That would be great have you had a look at our group cruise?
That was one lovely cruise are best so far ,also our favourite ship. I knew I should have taken something to stop snoring 💤 lol 😂 . A great show in Carmens and me and the wife agreed they were the best headliners we have ever seen,well done if any headliners are watching.
@@mrskint55 Thanks for watching again we certainly had a great time on this cruise
Indian looked dreadful in comparison to Olsen's Vasco's where they provide very generous serves. Looks like your dessert was Gulab Jamon, milk balls soaked in rosewater and deep fried soaked in cardamom and saffron syrup, normally this is a briiliant dessert, very special. I think you were told a porky re your lunch place in Lisbon being special, I dont think so! Great vid, looks like you had a lot of fun.
@@barbarapearce9738 We did have good fun in Lisbon. Apparently the food has improved in Aranya but what we had was very poor compared to Vascos and Sindhu
Hi Great videos. I travelled on Aurora last August and instantly fell in love with her. My other girlfriend Oriana was taken away from me💔 For my tenth cruise i have booked up again on Aurora for November (R422). Who knows, i may see you on board then. If i do. I'll come say hello. Anyway, keep doing what your doing 👍 See ya 👋
Thanks for your very kind comments. We won't be back on Aurora until next year. We did have a fantastic time on her in May/June. I hope you enjoy your cruise in November
I absolutely love this ship, looking forward to a third cruise.
@@barbarapearce9738 We are hosting a group cruise on Borealis in 2026 have you ever sailed on her? ua-cam.com/video/2QctKHXU5YU/v-deo.html
Thanks for posting. Looking forward to these, we are on the same ship and itinerary in August. First time on Aurora, previously sailed on Britannia, Arvia and Iona. Looking forward to an adult only ship and a more traditional cruise feel.
@@leehalbert Thanks for your comments there should be another episode next week
Hi both, Thanks for sharing Aurora experience so far very good. Glenn Miller music sounded Great 😊
@@janemayhew1442 Thanks Jane we had a great time on this cruise
Just off Aurora this morning so nice to watch your vlog this evening. I’m pleased to report that the crew no longer serve your food any longer and it’s all gone back to normal and self service. I thought the Syndicate Quiz was very hard but I’m pleased I’m not the only one 😂
@@ALifeintheParks Will you be going back Nicola, we love her
@@KenGoesCruising We actually discussed this on the way home, 3 nights was a nice taster but not really long enough. Let’s see what next Summers sailings are like. We’ve not tried Arcadia either, would you recommend her to sail on?
@@ALifeintheParks Arcadia has a similar feeling. She has a fantastic pub and theatre but no Andersons. There is a crows nest, Sindhu, ocean grill which is a sort of epicurean. I don't think she is quite as attractive as Aurora and she was in need of a refit which she gets in November this year. The atrium is very plain and a very small cinema on board. They have thermal spa pool on board which is nice but at an extra cost. We are looking to go on Arcadia again. Have you thought of trying Fred Olsen I would like it to P & O 25 years ago and I mean that in a good way things are just a little bit more special on board.
@@KenGoesCruising Many thanks for the advice, great to hear that Arcadia is having a refit. I won’t book until after that’s happened. We very nearly went on the Fred Olsen that you were on in February but we decided on Marella because the weather in the Med would be better. Sadly it rained every day but that’s cruising for you.
Thank you for another wonderful vlog… the more I see this ship , the more I want to sail on her!! It’s definitely top of my list!! Looking forward to the rest of this series 😊
Thanks Tina we love her so much we will be back on her next year.
Nice to have met you both ,we didn’t get to meet up for a drink ,but hopefully the next time .
No that was a shame but definitely next time
I’m jealous that you and Bob and Holly were on together-sounded like you had a great time. Adorable Aurora biscuits Holly made! You were lucky with the weather except for the wind-gorgeous sunsets!
We had a great time thanks Cheri and the weather just kept getting better.
We sailed on her when she was part of the Seabourn fleet. Beautiful ship.
A question for you did you ever sail in any rough weather and how did she handle it?
@@KenGoesCruising It was the med in August, no rough seas.
@@joannewaldron2242 Thanks for that.
Consoling myself watching your vlog as didn’t get to go on regal Princess this week as have covid, denied boarding. Hoping insurance going to cover it. Any experience of this anyone?
We missed a cruise through COVID in 2022 Auroras first cruise after lockdown. I tested positive the day before we sailed. Full refund by the way of FCC in them days. I hope everything works out well for you.
Hello Ken and Lindsey. Is it hard for an a American to sail on a P and O ship?
There was an issue with regards insurance requirements during COVID. That seems to have gone away now. I think Bob booked through P & O America.
@@KenGoesCruising I’ll check with him. Thanks
My wife Teresa is vegetarian. How well does P& O accommodate v’s?
They cater very well for a number of dietary requirements including vegetarians. There are always options on menus in the various eateries.
@@virtualgardener thanks Lindsey. Perhaps show the menu with vegetarian choices on future vlogs
Loved Amsterdam went there a few years ago, love their layered apple pie and hot chocolate, beautiful place.
We have been there a few times now both winter and summer. We enjoyed a visit to the Amsterdam dungeon on one occasion. A was really good fun.
Love the luxury = freedom idea! ❤
@@EmmaCruises Thanks for watching Emma I think I still prefer the look of Oceania that we tried last year and going back next year.
You are a natural interviewer, Ken 😊 What were your takeaways? Is it the size and style of ship you would consider trying? I imagine their itineraries are attractive.
To be quite honest the ship just felt a bit on the small side. There was nothing that felt or looked wow. I think I would definitely prefer Oceania. However we only had a short visit it's impossible to tell without actually sailing on her.
That's interesting as that was my impression too re Windstar v Oceania
@@lesleywaghorn1627 Have you sailed on Windstar?
No just from watching your series on Oceania and now this video of Windstar.
@@lesleywaghorn1627 We do have a ship visit coming soon to Oceania Marina which has recently been refitted. That's the only Oceania contact we will have until our Vista cruise next year.
Your stature is obviously growing. Don’t lose your objectively. Cheers😊
@@warrenwolf4690 I understand what you are saying. it is very difficult to be objective when you are only on the ship for 2 hours.
Great review but music too loud to hear you properly.
@@barbarapearce9738 Thanks I will bear it in mind for the future.
Brilliant cruise and all new ports of call for us but it's a shame that we can't do the dates. We will meet you both on a cruise soon for sure.
@@sauspud Thanks it will be great to meet one day, after all some of it was your idea!
Great itinerary you have chosen for a group cruise,, will see if we can join you !😊
That would be fantastic if you could. All this time we have been talking and never met. If you need any questions answered Jane just get in touch on the website or if it's more technical answers get hold of Dan. You can do that from our website too.
Thank you .
Are you planning some more Cunard cruises?
I hope you get to go on Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary 2 in the future.
Yes Kate we are back on Cunard in December, this time on Queen Victoria.
We have sailed on Queen Mary 2 a few times but not Elizabeth yet.
I thought the gowns were $75 USD?
Yes, you can buy the dressing gowns onboard. Also the snuggly ones are the usual ones in QG and PG.
Thanks Kate for helping clear that up.
Hi Dan!!!
I will pass your message on to Dan
Hi from Australia… I’m always asleep when the lives are on…
I know it's a problem very early in the morning. We did have some visitors from NZ on you may have seen. Thanks for watching anyway
Your group cruise sounds wonderful! I remember St Malo from your Riviera vlog, and thought it looked a great port to spend some time
Thanks Lesley we certainly like the idea of it.
Great promo video, and love the itinerary you have chosen!
Do you fancy coming then Lesley!!!!
@@KenGoesCruising Would love to, but we are already planning a UK rail holiday late 2026/early 2027
@@lesleywaghorn1627 I didn't think you would be able to it's a long way to come but you will be able to join us in spirit and through the vlogs.
Exactly!😊
Ohhhh, snap. That is big channel news! April 14…. 🤔 hmmmmmmm 💭
It is a big step for us. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens now.
I never manage to make the live broadcast but enjoy listening to you on catchup 😊
Thanks I hope you found it interesting
I love watching you two. Always amusing and great videos. I'm sure that you'll have loads joining you on the group cruise. ❤
Thanks so much for your kind words. Much appreciated
Sorry, Ken and Lindsey. Was in a meeting 8-9 BST, so missed the live! Will watch the replay.
Thanks Cheri I'm sure you will enjoy the surprise
Thanks for a wonderful series - the ship looks lovely, and the entertainment great! Always enjoy the excerpts from the choir performances - what a stunning venue to sing in!
We had a great time onboard with some wonderful company. The entertainment was the best we have had on Cunard and it seems like a lot of the initial problems were beginning to get sorted. Thanks for watching and here's to the next series
Thanks both for another Queen Anne video, so glad your food had improved,,, hopefully Georgina Jackson is entertaining us on Queen Anne in August to Scandinavia , looking forward to next Baltic video.
Thanks Jane always a pleasure to hear from you.
Enjoyed the vlog! Great to see you in the choir again. We met Gina who was doing the dancing on our Enchanted Princess cruise
We found out from Gina that she shared a room with Sarah who was the assistant cruise director on Sky. She has just moved to Ruby Princess. A local girl from Cornwall. Thanks for watching
Love Georgina Jackson. A Wigan Lass. Saw her on QM2 in 2022 and would love to see her again. X
She was great and such a nice person to chat to.
@@KenGoesCruising yes she is delightful. I’m on QV in November so fingers crossed x
We are going as family next week on the Bolette and can’t wait for it!
I hope you have a fantastic time we certainly enjoyed her.
Lindsey is hilarious in those hats! I need to know how you spell that restaurant name because I’ll be in Lisbon in Sept.
Solar Do Vez is the name of the Restaurant. We had great fun there and the drinks were good.
Great vlog really enjoyed. We will be heading to Lisbon on QA later this year
Thanks Guys I guess we will see you again soon on Marina
I've sailed so many cruise lines and imo FO do the best breakfast by a mile!👌🏻
We loved our time on FO
I’ll be there for a day in September-first time! Hope I get a sunny day also. PS tried to subscribe to your newsletter, but the captha verifying I wasn’t a robot😅 was not working.
Hi Cheri you are already subscribed to the newsletter and you opened the last one.
QM2 is no cruise ship. She's an Ocean liner 😉
I am aware. Thanks for watching
Loved This Video,.... Thank You for posting~
Thanks Kimberly I am glad you enjoyed it.
So great to meet you both! Rhonda from PA
Thanks Rhonda looking forward till the next time we meet.
