P&O Iona Cruise Vlog - Episode 2 - THE OLIVE GROVE

Is P&O's new restaurant on Iona, The Olive Grove worth all the hype? One thing for sure, if you want to eat at The Olive Grove, you must book early in your cruise! In this second episode of our P&O Iona Cruise vlog series, we spend our first day at sea! In proper Cruise Monkeys style we are a little hung over, but after some food, rest and cocktails, we're back on form! This evenings meal is in The Olive Grove, which according to P&O: "With a strong focus on food provenance, it's time to taste your way around the southern and eastern Mediterranean with authentic dishes and sharing platters at The Olive Grove. Mouthwatering aperitifs and a well-chosen list of regional wines complete the menu and add to the relaxed experience. P&O Iona's Olive Grove is the ideal venue for intimate dinners or a celebratory meal – with options to eat in the restaurant or in the conservatory area". So we hope you enjoy following along with us on our cruise adventures! We love cruising with P&O and now that we have sailed on Iona it means we have sailed the whole fleet again! Our last cruise was on P&O Britannia and we've already got our next P&O cruise planned, this time on P&O Aurora!

Making videos of our cruises and sharing our experiences has become our hobby, they may not be to everyone's tastes but they are our way of remembering the great times we've had, so please keep this in mind – we are not professionals and the complete video is shot and edited on an iPhone in our spare time. The videos are our opinions and experiences while on board. We may not be the youngest cruisers but we are trying to break the stereotype that cruising is for retired people. On a cruise you will normally find us wondering around the ship taking in the atmosphere (and working our way through the cocktails). Make sure follow us on social media, the links are below.
