Creator's Key Takeaways
Never been on PO before. We haven't.
We've got a drinks package on this one. We have. Aren't you lucky?
First impressions of this ship is yes, it's big and the sort of the embarcationy bits we've been to so far have been busy, but the decor is very calming again.
Overall was very impressed. I was very impressed, too.

We’re trying P&O Cruises for the first time—and kicking things off aboard Iona, the UK’s biggest cruise ship! Join us as we embark in Southampton for a 5-night cruise to Rotterdam and Zeebrugge, complete with a deluxe drinks package 🍸 In this episode, it’s embarkation day! We explore the ship, grab some food at The Quays, sip wine at The Glass House, check out the Crows Nest, enjoy dinner in the main dining room (Aqua), and end the night with a high-energy Pink tribute act. And yep… we even do a proper muster drill (turns out those still happen sometimes!). 👀 If you’re new here, we’re cruise lovers who usually sail with Virgin Voyages—so this is a whole new experience for us!
