P&O Iona NORWEGIAN FJORDS Cruise - Boarding Day - Episode 1
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators document their first day aboard the P&O Iona as they begin a Norwegian Fjords cruise. After checking in and completing security, they board the ship and head to their muster station before settling into their cabin. They provide a tour of their room, noting the window seat and the view of a nearby barge. The creators discuss their spa plans, including booking a thermal suite slot and a full day pass for the retreat area on Deck 18. Throughout the day, they explore various ship amenities such as the Crow's Nest, the Panorama bar, and the infinity pool. They also experience the sail away process from different vantage points, including waving to other ships via webcam. The day concludes with a formal dinner at the Pier Restaurant, where they sample various dishes including lamb, sea bass, and sticky toffee pudding. While one creator retires early due to exhaustion, the other visits the Emerald Bar for cocktails before ending the embarkation day.
