We Tried Nearly EVERY P&O Iona Restaurant and Here's What Happened

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators evaluate the diverse dining landscape on the P&O Iona, comparing it to their previous experience on the Azura. They begin by reviewing breakfast options, including the Horizon buffet, the Keys, and the specialty breakfast at the Kaling Cow. While they found some portions small at the Kaling Cow, they generally viewed the breakfast offerings as an improvement over their prior cruise. The review moves into lunch and snack options, covering the free selections at the Keys, such as fish and chips and Asian cuisine, as well as the more gourmet tapas-style lunch at the Glass House. The creators also explore the main dining rooms, noting that the service was accommodating and the menus varied significantly. They express high satisfaction with the main dining rooms, particularly praising the vegetarian and vegan options. However, they report a disappointing experience at the Captain's Table during formal night, which they found crowded and lacking in quality. The vlog concludes with specialty dining reviews, including Sindu, the Olive Grove, and the Epicurean. Despite a minor service error with missing sides at the Epicurean, the creators conclude that the food on the Iona is some of the best they have experienced at sea.
