Once on board, just log on to the ship’s Wi-­Fi to get connected. Almost any device that can connect to Wi-­Fi can be used on board their ships. Make sure that the Wi-­Fi is turned on and then connect to the ship’s Wi-­Fi network, which should show up automatically.

P&O state that ‘It’s worth bearing in mind that satellite internet will be slower than browsing at home as the signals have to travel thousands of miles to reach the satellites in space. Weather and the ship’s position can also occasionally impact on the signal. We do our best to manage the connections, however speed will vary and intensive activities like streaming content may not work at all times or may be excluded from certain plans’.

We found that the WiFi connection on board Aurora especially when you consider that its the oldest ship in the fleet was good throughout our cruise and is a vast improvement on what we experienced on Iona just 12 months ago.

Value for money is definitely in the eye of the beholder and even though P&O’s wifi is not cheap it did allow us to do everything we  needed to, so for us it was worth the money.
