Creator's Key Takeaways

cruising doesn't have to be as expensive as you think. This cruise worked out at £88 per person per night on a select fare

There is no nickel and diming. There's none none of that on here. So, that's really good.

If you want to go and do anything that's popular, you've probably got to be there at least half an hour before just to get a seat.

the acoustics are just are not good in there. And even though they are brilliant singers, the sound is just really echoey up there.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you want a quiet place to sit and avoid crowds, head to the Crows Nest, Andersons, or Sindhu.
Arrive at least 30 minutes early for popular entertainment to secure a seat.
Be prepared for sea days to be more 'dressy' than the casual dress code might suggest.

Join us for a full sea day on P&O Iona as we explore everything there is to do on one of Britain’s biggest cruise ships. From included dining, quizzes, live music and entertainment to wine tasting, quiet bars, art talks and the busy SkyDome, we show you what a real sea day experience is actually like. We also compare cruising to a land-based holiday and ask whether a cruise can offer better value for money than a UK break or Center Parcs holiday. Our cruise fare worked out at £88 per person per night, so throughout the day we discuss what’s included, what costs extra and whether we think P&O Cruises offers good value.
