P & O Cruises Aurora for 3 nights to Brugge Episode 3
Episode 3 of the video blog of our 3 nights on board Aurora with P & O Cruises, May 2024. I give a brief tour of some of the bars and restaurants next to the Atrium, going to lunch in the Medina restaurant, do a lap of the promenade deck, go dancing again and arrive back in Southampton.
We found other vlogs very useful in making the decision about whether to try cruising, and which cruise lines to try first. This series is an attempt to pay it forward and provide information for others, it is not an attempt to entertain.

I had initially relied on google maps to tell me the destination of the train. It said Nice, so I found the train going to Nice and got onboard, found our coach and seats and sat down.

    Can you please share some information on the evening dress code for clarity. I have always understood that polo shirts are included as smart casual, but I have been told that polo shirts are not allowed as evening wear on saga. Which is correct?

    • @whdavies
      @whdavies 19 днів тому

      Polo Shirts are not allowed. This is what the FAQ web page says: Evening-casual For dinner, evening-casual is the way to go - just like at any other restaurant. For ladies: Smart dress A blouse or elegant top with trousers or skirt For gentlemen: Smart, open-neck shirt and trousers A jacket is optional Please, no polo shirts, t-shirts, shorts or denim.

    Thank you for this, we’re doing a similar journey in 4 days. QUESTION: Is the shuttle from the courtesy car to the ship difficult to do with hand luggage (wheelie bags)? Do you also have to transport your main luggage also, or do they take care of that for you?

    • @whdavies
      @whdavies 29 днів тому

      No, taking the shuttle from the terminal to the ship is not difficult. When you arrive, luggage handlers will meet your car and take your main luggage from you and deliver the cases to your cabin. You are not limited to one bag so they could take all the wheelie bags if you would like them to.

      If you look at the end of episode 3 I have a still photo of the cruise terminal to the right of the picture. It's the building with the name "Portsmouth" on it. This is where you drop off your bags and check in. The following picture shows the shuttle bus next to the entrance to the ship's walkway. Hope that helps.
