Creator's Key Takeaways

we were genuinely surprised by what the port had to offer

we couldn't recommend it highly enough so the first animals that we came across when entered the zoo were chimpanzees

the lasagna here in the olive Grove did not disappoint it came with a couple of pieces of garlic bread and the lasagna itself was super tasty

the aerial acrobatics were fantastic we've got to say the production team doing the shows are super talented

YouTube Video Description

On day 3 of our P&O Iona Northern Europe cruise we visited the German port of Bremerhaven. We were initially scheduled to dock in Hamburg but due to an issue in port P&O changed the port. Having never visited Bremerhaven we were genuinely surprised by what the port had to offer. We explored Bremerhaven independently and visited some of the key attractions. Back on Iona in the afternoon we dined in the Quays, and took part in another meet up with our fellow passengers in the Crow's Nest. In the evening we had our first experience of the included dining venue, The Olive Grove. We watched the Skydome show, Spark, and we ended out evening in the Club House with the onboard band, Pulse.

We are relatively new to cruising, however we can now say we are officially hooked. Our mission is provide a fair and balanced review of our travels. We look at the types of food that is available onboard, from main dining rooms, room service, buffets and pool side snacks. We include menus for each of cruises so that we can share the selection of drinks and meals that are available. Entertainment onboard a cruise ship is important to us and we enjoy theatre production shows, live music, quizzes and game shows. We love to explore different ports and destinations and enjoy sharing tips and tricks so that you can make the most of each port. We often explore ports independently but also book excursions that are interesting to us.
