P&O Norwegian Fjords Cruise Reviews

For context myself and my wife had cruised 7 times we are RCI lovers! We have cruised RCI, NCL and MSC. We are in our 30’s and my Son, Two I wanted to share my review as i hope to give something back, i red a lot of posts before sailing so hope this is helpful. Embarkation Day. We had a 14:30 slot. I arrived at 13:00, this was ahead of time as the traffic was much quicker than i had ...

We chose this cruise as we are new to cruising, and it seemed a minefield when choosing one to book (still does!) we knew we wanted to go to Norway and we knew we didn’t want a fly-cruise. We came across Iona and fell in love with the look of the ship, more modern than we had seen on other ships doing similar routes and loved the idea of the whirlpools on deck 8. The ship itself is beautiful ...

Chose this wonderful Norwegian Fjords cruise to enjoy with my mum and husband. Turned into a disastrous experience with husband suffering from food poisoning and being cabin bound for 5 days of his holiday. The response on board from restaurant manager was diabolical, no accountability being taken for making a passenger ill and denied this could even be possible. The cabin staff worked very hard ...

Sounded like an interesting itinerary. However, every port was pretty much like the last. Due to a booking glitch, we were unable to pre-booked most of the excursions, which were listed as "sold out" when we tried to book on-board. That was actually a good thing....as we were able to do all of the excursions when we arrived at the ports for a considerable difference in price. I have always ...

PO Cruise on Iona - Norwegian fjords, August 2023 This was our first post-covid cruise. My wife and I have cruised several times before and on this occasion we booked a balcony cabin for ourselves and one for our 19yo niece as a treat. We had watched several reviews of Iona on youtube and learnt a few useful tips, such as don't take a balcony cabin on the dreaded deck 8 (or 9 for that matter). ...

This was our first cruise so we have nothing to compare it to but we all thought it was amazing. The staff were friendly, polite and nothing was too much trouble. A special mention must go to the wonderful Jose who looked after our corridor. He was a perfect gentleman and made our holiday extra special. The ship was immaculately clean and our cabins on deck 12 were lovely. The food was plentiful ...

First cruise. Cabins are nice to be fair (balcony) Food was easy to access. Too busy at times. Variable quality (some meals poor). Drinks not unreasonably expensive. We did however have parking included (cost 80 pound off on ship spends) that we did not use due to being full. We informed staff on the ship and after 3 trips to reception they then said they would let us know if they ...

Thoroughly enjoyed this cruise with our daughter & granddaughter. Excellent shore staff at Southampton and speedy check in. Iona is a stunning ship, with tasteful understated decor. Our cabin was very comfortable, clean & quiet. The large balcony perfect for viewing the stunning Fjords. We didn't use any of the speciality restaurants and ate mainly in the dining rooms, buffet and the Quays. ...

7 night Norwegian fjords cruise. We chose the Iona after sailing on (and thoroughly enjoying) the Arvia's maiden voyage at Christmas. Overall, I would strongly recommend the cruise and the Iona. Pros: - Great ship with loads to do and lots of entertainment options - Shows are usually repeated three times a night so you can do 2 or even 3 in a night easily - Limelight club cabaret ...

I chose this cruise after spending 2 weeks in the south of France when it was 42 degrees! We will go North I said, let's do a cruise to the Fjords, we won't be too hot there next summer. And how right I was. The weather was dreadful, rained the whole time we were in Norway, but it wasn't too hot to do sightseeing so a good decision to not go south this summer! The ship, the staff, the food, ...
