Creator's Key Takeaways

So, it's safe to say we wouldn't do this again.

The official city sightseeing hop-on hop-off bus cost us around £36.50 per person, which we personally felt was a bit overpriced.

If we visited Haugesund again, we probably wouldn't even get off the ship unless we had an excursion booked.

The energy was insane. god, that was one of the best karaoke I've ever been to, I think.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Make sure you get a letter from the cruise line for missed ports to claim on insurance.
Give yourself about half an hour to an hour before putting yourself in the virtual queue for dining.
Chat to your fellow cruisers because most of the time they are cool as hell.

YouTube Video Description

Today on P&O Iona, during our P&O Cruises Iona cruise, we spent money on something that seemed like a really good idea at the time…. but for us, it just didn’t feel worth it (Vlog 6). While sailing onboard P&O Cruises Iona, we decided to try something new on this P&O Iona cruise, thinking it would add to the experience. But after giving it a go, we came away feeling like it wasn’t the best way we could have spent our money - and it’s something we probably wouldn’t do again. In this vlog, we share exactly what we spent our money on during our time on P&O Iona, why it didn’t quite live up to expectations for us, and whether it might still be worth it depending on what you want from your cruise. Because what didn’t work for us on P&O Iona…. might actually be something you’d really enjoy. As our P&O Iona Norwegian Fjords cruise continues, we also show more of life onboard P&O Cruises Iona, including glimpses of P&O Iona dining, bars, restaurants and the overall atmosphere onboard one of the most popular ships in the P&O Cruises fleet.
