YouTube Video Description

It’s our final day aboard P&O Iona, and we’re soaking up every last moment of our 5-night cruise from Southampton to Rotterdam and Zeebrugge. In this episode, we explore more of the ship (including those infamous Deck 8 promenade balcony cabins), relax with board games in Anderson’s Bar, and check out the Beachcomber pool area. Later, we head to Epicurean – one of Iona’s upcharge restaurants – for a special dining experience. Was it worth the extra cost? Stick around for our full verdict. Plus, we catch one last show in the SkyDome (Triboo), before bringing you along for disembarkation, and sharing our final thoughts on our very first time on P&O Cruises. As Virgin Voyages fans, did P&O win us over? 📺 Missed an earlier episode?
