We went to the fjiords on Iona and was not surprised that the last port to see gerainger Fjiord was cancelled as several revies by other cruisers said the same thing.
It makes you think that it could be a fuel saving tactic.
The ship is fabulous and some of the staff great but not all.
Theatre entertainment was repeated two nights so second night no theatre show.
EVERYTHING had to be ...
I'm not a great cruise expert, given this is my second cruise and had my first one about 20 years ago.
We've chosen this cruise because we wanted to enjoy some summer time on sea and couldn't do a longer cruise to the Canary Islands.
We were expecting a 5 star experience but overall it was a mixed bag.
Embarkation was tedious but smooth: long queues at the terminal to leave the car and ...
We visited the Norwegian Fjords, staying as a couple in Cabin 5602 (balcony), with 4 other adult family members in adjacent cabins. We have cruised before but with different cruise lines.
Itinerary: we were happy with the ports visited and with the 3 shore excursions which we took.
Food: two of us are vegetarians and two have severe allergies so cruise food can be tricky. There was ...
Our first Mediterranean cruise in 4 years and it was superb.
Here are the key points.
The itinerary was brilliant. Loved every port, such beautiful cities visited: La Coruna, Valencia, Toulon (this replaced Marseille which I saw as an improvement...gorgeous beaches there), Barcelona, Alicante and Seville (from Cadiz).
As it was in the summer holidays I was slightly concerned Britannia ...
What a disappointment that we missed the last stop of our Norweigan fjord cruise, on Thursday.
Sadly, for P & O the passengers who we spoke to around the ship were not impressed and didn't believe our captain's story of the imperative part that needed to be flown in from Italy that would mean we missed our last stopover... We then, had two more sea days, making it a total of 4 days at sea on a ...
What an amazing experience ....we loved the new feel ship with great views out of its many glass windows,all staff were helpful and friendly. Balcony cabin with extended balcony were great for sunset drinks.the fjords are magnificent especially looking at them from a hot tub!Favorite restaurant was the olive Grove and sunset bar for early evening drinks.There is nothing to fault with this cruise ...
This is my 5th cruise and 4th with P and O so have a bit of experience cruising with P and O and I must say that this was the best P and O cruise that I have ever done and also on par with an epic Princess cruise that I have done on the regal princess. Boarding was simple and super-fast. Took 7 minutes from exiting the taxi to getting on the ship!!!!! This must be a record, well done port staff ...
Well this was our 4th P&O cruise. We were quite dubious, but it was as good as we expected, considering. The staff were amazing. They went above and beyond to help you. We sailed to the Norwegian Fjords. Embarkation was easy and quick. Our cabin was a standard balcony cabin and was very comfortable. Our steward was really helpful and so pleasant. We ate in the Olive Grove, Sindhu, and the ...
I have cruised many times over the years, and P&O are the worst I have ever experienced. They missed ports due to “bad weather” when it was 20 degrees and sunny with no wind, the food was appalling as was the entertainment - three of whom told us that it was their first time ever performing on a cruise ship.
Food - usually there are several included restaurants, a buffet that serves a large ...
We are a family of 4 and we have undertaken many cruises before. We originally booked to sail on Iona in 2018 for 2020 when the ship was announced. We decided to see the Norwegian Fjords as a family it is something we had wanted to do. Covid meant that our original booking was cancelled and we moved it to 2022. The ship itself is beautiful. Our cruise was at full capacity, one of the first ...
