Creator's Key Takeaways

I've just disembarked a week-long cruise and before this I thought I knew P&O cruises pretty well but I saw things I did things I experienced things on this cruise that I would have never expected from P&O

The food was really good and you don't want to miss out on any restaurant

I actually did book another cruise on iona and I think that's the highest praise that I can give to a ship

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book restaurant and theater shows in advance, especially for larger parties
Arrive early for acrobatic shows in the dome to get a seat
Consider paying as you go for drinks packages as they offer good value

YouTube Video Description

I've just disembarked a cruise on P&O's Iona which showed me things I’d never have expected from P&O. From the moment that she was announced Iona was designed to be different, her launch was a bold move for P&O but I wanted to know if the risk had paid off. In this video, we will look at the ship, the food, the entertainment, and the destinations we visited. I made a decision onboard that I've never made on a cruise before, in the video, I discuss why.
