P&O Iona: 10 Things I Loved… & 10 Things I Hated

Creator's Key Takeaways
I love the 710 Club. It's a badly designed performance venue with pillars in the middle of the room blocking the view of a sort of stage, which is wedged in the corner and not really big enough for a whole band.
I hate the Horizon Buffet. No, actually, I hate every other guest on board. I don't know why, but this ship is a magnet for people who are allergic to soap and water and never ever ever ever ever ever wash their hands.
I hate the mad selection of shops on board. Not every ship is right for every person, and not every shop is right for every ship.
I love that this ship exists. I love ships and I want everyone to go on them. Not every ship is a good fit for every person and this one is definitely not a good fit for me, but it is a good fit for a lot of people.
