Our FIRST Cruise "It's The TENDER" - P&O Aurora Visits Bruges And Guernsey 

Part 1 of our very first cruise: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v7sGTrNsWj0.html

Cruising is the best value holiday IMO. So much better value than a hotel in the U.K.

Thank you. We watched both your 'first cruise' video's. We are due to go on our first cruise end of Sept, on Arcadia, and you video's were really helpful. We have seen lots of comments from the naysayers and doom and gloom merchants, but we are pleased to see such an honest appraisal of your experiences.

We have done many P&O trips, love Aurora but have moved on to another brand. The company is not what it used to be I am afraid. Glad you had a good time and great weather, which always helps. Enjoy the Fjords, we love going to Norway, I am sure you will too, its an amazing country. Take clothing for every type of weather!

You will love the Fjords. We are off for our 3rd visit next weekend on Iona. Interesting to see your video when it comes out 👍 Keep up the good work.

How have I only just come across you two?? Love watching you, loved your excitement getting on a ship for the first time 😊 off to watch your Norway one now 😊😊

Wales is GORGEOUS 🥰

I've watched all your Fish n Chips tasting around Porthcawl videos. I enjoyed your 1st cruise with you, BUT.. but I would liked to have seen a bit of Guernsey as well, then I can feel i've been on holiday with you both! 😂 Thanks for this video, I enjoyed it.

We were supposed to go to Guernsey but could not get off the ship because of the weather so it was nice to see your video to see a glimpse of it.

Very helpful. We did our 1st cruise on Royal Caribbean to Greek Isles from Ravenna - (Gatwick to Bologna). We may be also slowly joining the cruising community. Next one may to Fijords. God bless.

You will love Britannia and the fjords.

Cruises are the best vacation you can take. Hope you enjoy time.

So glad that you enjoyed your first cruise and that the gaffer has booked another. The Norwegian Fjords are spectacular and lucky you calling at Flaam they say the train journey is a must do. Didn’t see if you are calling at Olden, which is beautiful, but make sure to be on deck for the Sailaway.

New viewer here. New to cruising too and have only done one so far but doing the Norwegian Fjords on Iona in July. Will look forward to your next video :)

Glad you enjoyed it. The sights of Bruge brought back the movie filmed and titled there.

So glad you mentioned the arrogance that you found in some of the P and O Facebook pages. I'm about to do my 4th cruise and, like you, I thought I'd 'investigate' a bit. The arrogance and rudeness of those who are in, what I call, the 'we're experienced clique' but who have as much knowledge as an amoeba when it comes to advising people, really disturbed me, a lot. I was on one page for a particular ship and was so disgusted at their arrogant responses to new cruisers, I deleted the page off my wall as I was disgusted. Or the ones, who, when muster yaed to take place in groups, insisted on 'raising their voices audibly so to be heard', announced to family or friends (and the rest of the ship) how things at this muster had changed since their last ten cruises!! So pretentious. If you want a good cruise, a bit more organised that the one you were on, try Ventura out of season. Norwegian fjords on Arvia (with indoor pools) would really give you a 'meaty' cruise, stunning scenery, but chilled and relaxed as well. A full 7 days to really explore and get right into a cruise, before it's all over. You need at least 4 nts fir a relaxing cruise, and outwith school holidays if you enjoy peace and quiet. The short cruises are great, but not on the smaller ships. I find them a bit too 'stuffy', and less 'organised'. (Bigferxships need to be organised. Plenty of little corners to hide in for peace and quiet too. But don't give up on cruising. If you get the right mix, it's addictive.

Brugge is beautiful x

Glad you enjoyed it. We have been on around 10 cruises and loved them all.

We loved norway on our last cruise , you will love it

I enjoyed watching your video it was very entertaining. We spent last Xmas & New year on the Aurora to Portugal & the Canary Islands we had a wonderful Time for 16 nights. We really enjoyed Sindhu what an excellent Restaurant. Once again a big thank you.

So interesting to me to see your new videos! Thank you Marcus and Mel!

Loved the camera work here, especially the opening shots. Was going to ask if you were going again - you’ve sold cruises for me!

Well done booking Norway, you'll love it, even if the weather is not good the scenery is AMAZING. We are booked on Britania in Sept this year to the Baltic, not been on Britania before.

Freudian slip.... I not only ' love' in Guernsey, I live there too!!

Just watched this. Got back from a first ever cruise, on Aurora to Guernsey today. Sadly weather dictated otherwise, never saw Guernsey, just the sea for 3 days! Plus suffered some sea sickness on the morning we were due to go to Guernsey. Not sure I’ll try cruising again.😂

Glad you enjoyed it. We are also off to the fjords soon too 😊

If you are on Britannia on the 30th June, we will see you on board.

So nice to meet you both today 👍

Hello! Did you see me saving at you?! I love in Guernsey and can see all the little tenders coming and going from my kitchen window! We often ask visitors if they are told about the beaches and the other side of the island, but often people don't realise they can get a bus f or £1.25, go round the island and visit some gorgeous places other than St Peter Port. Hope you enjoyed yourselves!

Good video, we were on that cruise too. Don't know if it's been mentioned but book your next cruise on board and they give you either discounts or more on board spend money. You can get a reserve number or pay deposit and then complete the booking with travel agent to add insurance etc. My partner and I go on short cruises then book longer ones if we like the company

Hi really enjoyed your video. Going on our first cruise to Guernsey end of July and was looking for information on the tender..your video really helped so thank you so much. A bit confused about the disembarking now though 😳

No thankyou, you've confirmed my reservations about cruising . 😵😵

Looking forward to your next👍. Nothing worse than disorganisation, Guernsey looked a little shambolic getting on and off the ship, however looked as if you enjoyed.

Great vlogs. If you're on the Britannia from 30th June, we're on the same cruise. It will be our first. :)

You will always get trolls, we were on the same cruise as you for this one, we too had issues with the breakfast that day, it's not the first time we've had issues but of the numerous cruises we've done a bad experience is rare.

Hi Marcus, awesome live video. I enjoyed it. Have a great day. How are you? I'm doing well 😊

As an experienced cruiser ( as crew for a small cruise line and as a passenger mainly on P&O) sounds like you got a bit unlucky with that one breakfast and Tender port. Aurora is the oldest ship in the P&O fleet, she does normally have an older demographic as well as more experienced cruisers. Have heard mixed reviews from her lately However really happy to hear you have booked a Norwegian fjords cruise and on Britannia as well (which is currently my favourite cruise ship at least with P&O) i am also doing a return to norway next year on Britannia. You will absolutely love it i am sure and always happy to share tips and advice if you need it.

We have done 1. Princess 2. Royal Caribbean 3. MSC Best service Royal Caribbean

It's a very nice video, yet I fail to understand your desire to venture further afield when you have the fragrant delights that Port Talbot has to offer.

thats so weird about disembarking there should be a piece of paper delivered that explains it all

Hello homies. The cruise is on hold for a while, but enjoying your pointers. Would like to do one that takes in Guernsey, as we took ship there from Weymouth long, long ago. Did you happen to notice yellow phone boxes, or have they all gone? Cheers

There's nothing worse than some arrogant idiots who think they know it all by saying "Google it". Don't they understand that's what these groups are for", to ask questions. I hate disembarkation day. How did you get to/from Southampton? Glad you liked your first cruse and booked another. Britannia is so much bigger than Aurora, but just as nice.
