I was 25 weeks pregnant when I cruised on the Aurora, so it great not fly, but to have the luxury of a high calibre hotel from the UK with the potential to go to some exciting ports. The food was excellent, we loved the cream cakes for afternoon tea and the 24 hour cafe, plus having toast and fruit delivered to our room each morning - all included in the price. Although getting dressed up 4 out of 7 (2 formal and 2 smart) was a bit of a bind and in one of the dinning rooms the headwaiters were rather strict with this. The ports of call were not very exciting- we stopped at Vigo in Spain, which was very dull unless you paid for an excursion to take you well away from the port area, we also stopped at St Peter's Port on a Sunday and almost everything was closed. The only other down side was the because you are so close to the UK the climate was still cool even in July when we sailed, so no chance to relax in the sun on deck- which often the dream sold to you on a cruise. We are planning another cruise next year with out year old son, as the offer an excellent night nursery for babies which is FOC.
