YouTube Video Description↓

I've just got back from a cruise to the Norwegian Fjords on P&O Cruises newest ship, the Iona. My cabin was a deluxe balcony cabin on Deck 8 (cabin #8102) which overlooks the promenade deck. This was the first time I had ever stayed in a balcony overlooking a promenade deck and it was interesting. These cabins are better value because of their location by the promenade deck (by overlook, I mean that only the balcony partition separates the balcony from the promenade deck itself) but they are VERY spacious. If you like your privacy this might not be for you. Then again, passers by cannot see into your cabin, although they CAN see you if you are on your balcony. As I have already mentioned, this cabin is extremely spacious, so there are pros and cons to booking it. Check out the video to see what I mean. The cabin itself is beautiful and faultless. It's just the balcony's positioning next to/overlooking the promenade deck which makes it not as private as some cruisers would like. Then again, because of Iona's design, practically EVERY cabin overlooks it - it's just that all cabins on Deck 8 are literally next to the promenade track and are on the same level as people walking past. www.pandocruises.com
