@dlb1911967 we had a wonderful time on Aurora. I have been on newer P&O ships and although they are shiner and more up to date I wouldn't hesitate to book Aurora again. That outside deck area at the rear is fabulous.The cabins were a bit outdated but ours was clean and to be honest we just used it to sleep in and get changed.I'm sure you will have a fabulous time on her. Happy travels and thank you for taking the time to comment. Much appreciated.

@@TravellingLightLisa Thank you! From what I can see in your video, the ship looks fine to me. I suppose we all have different tastes and expectations. I believe the ship will undergo a refurb in April, so some of the problems others experienced might be ironed out by the time we're onboard. Happy sailing! 😊

@@danielclitheroe1869 We always think that any savings can go towards another holiday! 😀 Thanks for watching 👍

@paulaylett8741 I totally agree. I loved Olden (and still do) but Skjolden is simply wonderful. I absolutely love Norway and I'm looking at going again in June to thd North Cape area. Thank you for watching and commenting. Happy travels 😃

Many thanks, and thanks for watching. I definitely dated myself with the Duty Free reference. Hope all is good on the Thames. 😀👍

@NamyDoesCruising Cheers Guys! I have been in Pirates, Iolanthe, and Ruddigore, but never the Mikado! It has been a few years since I last trod the boards in musical theatre so I am probably just scratching the itch by performing on video (I know you like your musical theatre so don't judge me too harshly! 😂). Thanks for your kind comments and the insta story 😀👍

@TravellingLightLisa You don’t see Ruddigore performed very often! Maybe it’s time for you to retread the boards? 😉 No judgment here - we thought you had a good voice! You’re very welcome! 😃

@ScotlandFarAndNear thanks so much guys. We really appreciate your support 🙏

@DiscoDavesPubReviews Absolutely right! The mouldier the better. If I get any more positive comments, I will start recording my first album! 😂 Thanks for watching 👍

@edgegymnastics8409 thanks for watching and commenting 😊 We may have been very unlucky with our cabin cleanliness but we have been cruising since 2017 with Marella, P&O and Ambassador and these lines cabins were much cleaner than Cunards.

@@edgegymnastics8409 Not quite the standards we were expecting! Thanks for watching 👍

Thank you for your insightful fashion advice on a cabin review 😀 👍

The drawers were cleaned but I felt more comfortable leaving my clothes in my clean suitcase. 😅

@maryfreeman9231 thanks Mary 😊

We like to dress up for the ships' gala nights, formal nights, celebration nights, or dress to impress nights as well. I am glad that you have got a sense of the ship from our videos. Thanks for watching.

Thanks, Netty. It could definitely have been better. Fortunately, the included food was OK on E2, so we will probably not bother with the speciality restaurants ever again! (I bet we do, though 😂). Thanks for watching 👍

@flydriveexplore Apparently, it is a Roman dress. (That must make it over 2000 years old!) She says it was new with tags from a charity shop for £8. I am definitely ageing myself with the Duty Free reference! 😂 Thanks for watching 👍

@BrummieNik Thanks for that. Giles will come round and perform 10 minutes of G&S classics first thing in the morning. Leave the latch off. Thanks for watching 👍

@susantwining2879 Thank you Susan, and thanks for watching 👍

@@kathleenpipes Many years of am dram and pantomime daming have shaped the man I am! 😂

@ So you really do have a ball gown

@kathleenpipes to go with my gownless evening straps. Naturally!

@AM13284 On the positive side, our main was fine. Glad you had a good experience. Thanks for watching 👍

@DavidHeslop-o2v Good tip! Although I am trying to cut down, so you are a bad influence! 😂 Thanks for watching 👍

@joanfreestone1707 I am not sure that all-inclusive or fixed price dining works particularly well for some people (including us). You can feel like you are paying for others over-consumption. Paying as you go for what you consume must be more eco-friendly and better health wise. Hope Perth is nice and sunny. Kind regards from a cold Staffordshire 🥶

@@TravellingLightLisa Thank you but it's really too hot here. It's over 40 degrees at the moment and the other day, it was 44 😞 Just going out to get the washing in was horrible.

Ouch, that's too hot! 🔥

@gavsdrams oh no!! So sorry to hear this. Hope it hasn't put you off trying another cruise line or ship?

We sailed on Dicovery 2 also just after the refurbishment the food and ambience service very poor us too never again

@@graemedocherty3088 sorry to hear this. I hope you have a better experience on another cruise line.

@@Djn1980 Thanks for watching 👍

@manfromthetoon We didn't feel anything at all in the Canaries, but when we were on Explorer on the way back from the Baltics, the North Sea crossing was a little choppy and we felt some pitch and sway. It is going to be weather dependent, so avoid any Bay of Biscay travel and pick low down and middle cabins to reduce the rocking and rolling. Maybe a Mediterranean cruise would be a good one to try. Hope you have a great cruise if you decide to book 👍

@ we are looking at the treasurers of the Mediterranean which takes you from palma to Barcelona with few other places

@manfromthetoon There are obviously no guarantees, but that is probably a good one to book. You only live once! 😀👍

@NamyDoesCruising Cheers Guys! It was disappointing. We may well try Sindhu again at some point. We just found the food a little bland on our Iona sailing. Thanks for watching. Might bump into you on the seas in 2025!

Thank you for your kind comments. There are usually three chargeable options in the main dining room Latitude, such as steak (£11.95), rack of lamb (£11.95) and seafood thermidor (£16.95). Other restaurants also have items for a surcharge. Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks. Ambassador is a reasonable stepping stone as it is a no-fly option from the UK, and the ships are not too big. There are no bells and whistles, but we enjoyed the experience, and the staff were great. We are looking at another cruise with them this year. Whatever you choose, have a great time! Thanks for watching 👍

@garyfardon8841 Or maybe, 'budget conscious travellers'? Thanks for watching and sharing your thought. 😂👍

@fuzzy1237 Thanks for watching and sharing your thought 😀👍

@ my pleasure

@elizabethrichardson6401 thanks for your feedback 😊 We haven't tried Fred Olsen yet but it's good to hear that it caters for people with dietary requirements. Have a fabulous time on Explorer 2!!

@DiscoDavesPubReviews I remember seeing a very good review of that pub recently! By a couple of drunks, as I recall! 😂 Thanks for watching 👍

Folks, you decide. We were pretty sober in my opinion. We had been drinking for 8 hours.​@@TravellingLightLisa

Lol. Cheers. I think you are ageing yourself by referencing Derek Batey but probably more so by commenting on the wrong video! 😂 Anyhoo, We did not try the Ambassador Indian but that dish sounds odd! If you try Sindhu, we would love to hear how you got on. We don't get angry when things go wrong. We're more likely to complain and then start laughing about it (most disconcerting for the staff). We do however have the luxury of the gift of feedback packaged in a YT video 😀👍 We don't have that recipe. We just eat them! Life is too short to stuff a mushroom or wrap a samosa. Thanks as ever for watching. 👍

The percentage increases in prices are surprising. We had some great value family holidays with Marella a few years ago but it is a little more difficult to get deals on Marella these days. Thanks for watching 👍

The Balti Triangle used to be the place to go in Birmingham, but I have recently read that there are only four balti houses left! Fortunately, I used to work in Smethwick and know a few decent places there. I usually avoid curries in pubs as they are generally disappointing. On P&O, the lentil dhal on the late night buffet is usually very good. Thanks for watching again 🙂 👍

@@debbieball900 Glad you like Kora La. Thanks for watching 👍

Good to hear that Sindhu was OK for you. It was Iona that we went on just after Covid and found it very bland. We may try it again next time we are on P&O. Thanks for watching and commenting it is much appreciated 👍

I think he was just auditioning for a bigger role in our film! To be fair, he was a nice guy, and the waiter service was good, but there was a lot of space he could have used as it was quiet. Thanks for watching 👍

Most people in the world eat Asian food with their fingers. These arbitrary rules of western etiquette are irrelevant and were originally designed to separate social classes. The fact that people find this important in this day and age is risible. I blame Downton Abbey! If Lisa chooses to use her fork upside down or I choose to eat soup with a knife, we really don't care. We are to all intents and purposes working class, common and proud of it. Thanks for watching 👍

How rude 😮

@@TravellingLightLisawell said ❤

I was on the Marella Voyager two weeks ago and saw people wearing shorts for dinner in the main dining room, buttering bread, using a fork like a spoon...I don't like it but it's their holiday as much as mine is to me. Perhaps you could have worded it better?

That is rude. What does it matter how Lisa eats. Her holiday.

Take a look at the menu and see what you think. There are a few other options in Kora La to choose from, which might give better value, but those were meat dishes. At the end of the day, it is a judgement call. The curry dishes were good, but from a value perspective, we won't be rushing back. On the positive side, there are a bunch more included dining options on Marella to choose from. I am sure you will enjoy whatever you go for. Thanks for watching guys 👍

😂 Nitrous oxide and wine this week! Thanks for watching 👍

That is horrible! So sorry you had that experience. Honfleurs cobbles are not wheelchair friendly, but there is no need for that behaviour from the drivers. I can understand your dislike for the place. Thank you for watching 👍

@alan3755 It is 'intelligently frugal' not tight 😂 Thanks for that. Next week I will be performing an extract from the Mikado by Gilbert and Sullivan! Thanks for watching 👍

@@TravellingLightLisa 🤣 Now that we would like to see , and a lift disco version if possible 😂

You know me, Nik. Short arms and deep pockets! Thanks for watching. 👍

You are right. We have had some fabulous family holidays on Marella for great value, but they are relatively a lot more expensive now. I am not sure that all-inclusive works for us these days. Lisa doesn't drink too much, and I am cutting down. That always makes me think I am paying for someone else to get drunk! 😂 Thanks for watching 👍

It was disappointing, and considering the price, I don't think it is unfair to expect a little more of an elevated experience. Thanks for watching again 🙂

@andrewtaylor8625 We tend to agree. Our experiences so far have been disappointing, but we live in hope. However, I do resent paying good money for bad value experiences. Thanks for watching 👍

Us Midlanders are definitely spoilt for decent curries 😀👍 We are not convinced that speciality dining is for us. Certainly not on Marella, but never say never. Thanks for watching and commenting it is much appreciated 👏
