I’ve been on the Aurora for a couple of conferences, each involving 2 nights on-board and the glamorous route of Southampton>>Channel Islands>>Southampton. Their ability to constantly marshal, entertain and feed a large number of guests reminded me of conferences in Las Vegas - albeit on a smaller scale. But impressive. The quality of the food and entertainment was excellent. The experience of being on a boat is not however one I’d pay for. I had a room with a balcony, but it was really rather small. On one of the trips we were unable to park in the Channel Islands as it was too windy, so we just sailed round and round in a figure of 8, though I have to say it didn’t seem that bad to me...certainly not enough to make me feel ill. The constant PA announcements, all preceded by a ‘bing-bong’, reminded me of Hi-de-Hi! The ship itself isn’t one of the larger ones I don’t think, and after 2 days I’d had more than enough...and while a conference isn’t the same as a holiday, so a different kind of clientele, I’d had enough of the other guests as well :p
