Creator's Key Takeaways

Iona was a really nice ship um it was loads of seating areas there were loads of cabins very modern uh restaurants and venues

the buffet was a bit of a letdown so yeah there were nights when food was really good but there were more nights where the food was really bad

the 710 Club excellent would go more if I'd have known about it earlier on

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book select fare to choose your cabin in advance
Arrive early for the 710 Club to secure a seat
