YouTube Video Description

Join my Mum and Dad (Mick Garvey) as we call him, on a P & O Cruise from Southampton to Norway and the Norwegian Fjords! They start with a drive from Liverpool to Stonehenge to have a look at the unique sights of the historic landmark! They then continue to the Port of Southampton, staying in a Travel Lodge overnight before boarding and Embarking on the ship the following day. Mum and Dad sail on the P&O Iona ship, staying in a Luxury Suite Cabin for 7 nights cruising around the beautiful fjords of Norway! Stops on this Norwegian cruise include: Olden, Stavanger, Alesund and Haugesund, iwth sail-bys in Innvikfjorden, Nordfjord, Sunnyvsfjorden and Storfjorden. Unfortunately their stop in Stavanger was cancelled, however they made up for it with some great excursions on other stops including their favourite, the Troll Car tour in Olden! Mum and Dad show various parts of the ship including a dip in the outdoor hot tub which was HILARIOUS. They also discuss what they liked and disliked about the ship, including the food, buffet, entertainment and restaurants. They do not recommend the Suites on Deck 8 overlooking the Promenade due to a lack of privacy and noise disruptions.
