it was a fantastic fantastic tour that we'd highly recommend it did take us around an hour to complete the tour but it was completely worth it
it was one of the best meals we have had on a ship I pre-booked our Epicurean Valentine's Day meal prior to boarding

On day 5 of our P&O Iona Northern Europe cruise we docked in the port of Rotterdam. We left the ship early to explore the city hoping to visit the Euromast, unfortunately the weather was awful, so we had to change our plans. We walked to the SS Rotterdam which is a former Holland America ship that is now a Hotel and Tourist attraction. We toured all areas and found the visit to be incredible. As it was Valentines Day we visited the Epicurean as they had a special menu, it was a fantastic experience, and we left feeling very indulged. As we were docked in Rotterdam overnight we took the opportunity to visit some of the cities nightlife.
