Creator's Key Takeaways

If you don't want to spend any extra money at all on food you don't have to

Out of all buffets on cruise ships it's in one of the best locations on the ship for the views

The Olive Grove is our favorite just because it's our type of food they're really really enjoy

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Be aware that smaller main dining rooms might have longer waits if you are joining a virtual queue.
βœ“If you are in a large group, you may be turned away from the smaller dining rooms.
βœ“Use the 'quick lunch' option in the main dining rooms if you have plans to be elsewhere.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description↓

We've sailed on P&O's Iona 3 times, and have tried out lots of the dining venues onboard, so we thought we'd put together a helpful guide to these food options. In this first part we talk through all of the included dining options. This is every venue that you can eat at that won't cost you any extra money. Lots of these venues are also available onboard P&O's newest ship, Arvia. The venue's we discuss in this video include the main dining rooms, Aqua, Opal, Coral and Pearl, and the Horizon Restaurant onboard. We've also included The Olive Grove, The Quays and Taste 360. There are lots of photos of the food we've eaten in these venues, and we've included menus where we were able to. P&O's Iona is an excellence class cruise ship, who sailed her maiden voyage on the 7th August 2021. We were lucky enough to be onboard for her 2nd voyage, on 14th August 2021 and have sailed her a total of 3 times now. She has 18 total decks and is able to carry a maximum of 5,206 passengers.
