Great video guys. I’ve been on a number of cruises. The first few we had a balcony. And because we only slept in the room, it seemed a waste of money.. so now we always have an inside cabin. It saves us a few bob.
So it’s £900 for an inside cabin, £1300 outside or £1500 balcony. Not been before and it 14 nights to the canaries. What you think? Is it worth paying more for that length of time?
Just finished watching this series as I’m researching my trip this summer. Really looking forward to it and found your videos excellent and enjoyable and extremely useful, thank you
Thank you kindly for the comments. Glad the vlog was helpful. It can be really confusing. We had a great time. Plenty research is always good. Then you aren’t missing anything.😊🙏
We are booked for our first ever cruise in May 24, on Iona going to fjords. So your videos have been exactly what we needed. Binge watched them all 😂 Honestly guys, these were cracking videos, really well balanced and presented by some genuinely great people ❤ too many bloggers make it about themselves. Being our first cruise we have a lot of worries, but feel so much better now and really excited. Keep up the great work, you are natruals❤.
I wish I seen this before I went last month. Great advice. Had a great time. Going on to airplane mode while on the ship wonderful. You can completely switch off.
Really enjoyed this, very useful. We’ve just stumbled across your channel while researching the Iona, as we’re going on in February. There are some great tips that we didn’t know about here, so thanks for posting. Just subscribed and looking forward to checking out more of your videos and to following your adventures. Cheers
Thank you so much for tuning in. Really glad our videos were of help. You will have a great time. I really wasn’t into doing a cruise. Now a convert.😊🙏
Congratulations on a great video, very well presented and full of useful tips on Iona. We are looking at booking but been weary of the booking for MDR and theatre etc. it now doesn't seem as troublesome. Thanks will be looking out for the next in the series.👍
A bit late to the channel, from the 7th May 2024, the rules changed on alcohol, you are no longer able to beer and spirits but you can take up to 1 litre of wine or bubbly
A massive thank you for these Iona videos. Our first cruise this Saturday and was stressing about what we needed to do etc. We watched all three last night, and booked entertainment etc whilst we watched. We are now both far more confident and looking forward to the trip. Its definitely made a difference to our mindset, especially when not realising that our "free parking" needed booking early which didn't help. Also thanks to Ewan for his travel sickness updates (very useful for me). Now cannot wait 🙂
@@romanaandewan Update..... A fantastic time was had. The weather in Haugesund and Olden was sunny and warmer than the Med. Shorts and T shirt 🙂A few roughish seas with no travel sickness. Thanks again for all your help.
Found your channel doing research for my first cruise and we looked at Norway on Iona. Wifey wants to go and I'm not so sure on this kind of thing anyway, what wifey wants, wifey (usually) gets, so your channel is good information, will watch your actual trip vlogs. Just to say, +1 for the Wise card, just done 3 months in Malaysia and SIngapore and used it everywhere, just like a debit card, top it up from UK bank account online as required, and convert to local currency.
Glad you found the videos helpful. Wise card is great. So helpful. Iona cruise is brilliant. You will love it. Hope you enjoy the rest of our cruise series.👍
Thanks for watching and enjoy your trip when it comes. Also FYI since make the video the rules have changed and you can no longer bring a bottle of spirit on board. Only wine I believe but you might want to double check. Have fun!
Thanks for this. We have just booked for mid April 2023 and really looking forward to this as it is our first cruise. Wonder what the weather will be????
Great vlog, jotting down notes, taking my P and O cruise next July, have sailed with Princess twice and Royal Carribean 3 times and each have their own quirks ,ie you can book dining on Princess once you have paid your fair in full. X
Hi, hope you’ve had a good weekend? Wife and I are enjoying your vlog, I have noticed that a lot of your food was Gluten free, I have Coeliac Disease and wondered was it difficult to get GF food? Wife and I are doing the Norwegian Fjords on Iona in May!
Hello there, there are plenty of gluten free options available on the Iona. In all the restaurants. Also remember to ask specifically at the horizon buffet for any other gluten free nibbles like crackers. Muffins. Bread. Biscuits. They are not laid out usually so don’t be afraid to ask.👍
Thank you, for an informative video. We are going in September 2024, a little apprehensive as have always sailed with Royal Caribbean, but they don't do the Fjords in September, the reason for the late sailing is that we want to hopefully see the Aurora. I have seen it up the very northwest of Scotland, but my wife hasn't.
Hi Andy that's interesting we have only done Royal Caribbean as well . So will be interesting we are going before you on the 20 April. I hope it's as good as RC
@@romanaandewan The weather can be so unpredictable in Norway. We stopped at Stavanger and it was beautiful and warm then we cruised around the fjords and it started to change. We went at the end of May and to be honest it felt like November in England. Very wet windy and cold. But you don’t go to Norway to get a suntan. Cost of living over there is very very expensive. My husband bought a beer in one of the local bars. It was £5.00 for 400mls not even a pint. If you are watching the pennies or being a bit miserly like I am. I’d suggest you fill up on food whilst on ship before you head out to explore. It is a beautiful country with amazing views and lots of outdoor activities but as you’d expect it can be very hilly. Nearly everyone in the resorts speak English so it’s easy to be understood. Enjoy your cruise
Wow, first of all, I want to say that you are incredibly beautiful and pleasant! Secondly, your video is super helpful with lots of useful information. It's wonderfully shot and very well narrated! Thank you so much!
Thank you! We didn’t have a car with us. I’m not entirely sure if you can drive right into the terminal but you can certainly get very close and then walk the rest of the way to drop your cases. Have fun!
If you are parking with CPS, you drive up to the terminal and wait for CPS staff to check your car in. Then its simply take your luggage out of the car, hand over your car key and its no more than 100 yards to the luggage drop off point. They do have luggage trolleys to assist you, just like an airport or mainline train station. Then go into the terminal building and through airport style security. Then it's straight onto the ship via an airbridge.
Some of the excursions are sold out on the website. I know they are cheaper on the website, but will they be available on the cruise or are they still sold out?
We went on the iona in May this year. We couldn’t book anything before we embarked. Then once we got on we couldn’t book into any entertainment Or speciality restaurants 13:54 Everything was booked up the whole of the trip. The iona is a massive ship and everyone wants to do the same things as you do so you’ve no chance. I was really disappointed. The cruise was tres expensive I have had a nicer more enjoyable experience onboard the p and o azura. Too many passengers it was very unpleasant and uncomfortable. Norway however is beautiful
Sorry to hear you didn’t have a great experience on Iona. Being able to book things ahead really helped us. It’s a shame you weren’t able to. We’re definitely keen to try other P&O ships and Azura might be one of them in the future 👍🏻
@@romanaandewan the azura is actually quite old so it isn’t as modern as the iona. It was due an upgrade which didn’t happen because of covid and those works have been put on hold for a while. However it still is a lovely ship. It certainly isn’t as big as the iona but it can house around 3000 passengers so you still can get lost The crew are fantastic. The waiters and front of house staff are really very friendly and helpful. Certainly none of the grumpy faces that we experienced on the iona. There’s no issue about booking speciality restaurants or entertainment. Everything is so easy to sort out. You don’t feel cramped or uncomfortable as the ship is very airy. This ship has very competitive deals later in the season. A cruise around Tenerife for example in October is around £499.00 per person flights included. Which I think is fantastic value for all inclusive and entertainment too. The weather at that time of year is still pretty hot.
HI, We are going to the fjords on the 9th sept our first cruise too. was the bag drop off easy to find and did you book the theatre before getting on the boat. ( you may have said in your video but I missed it)
Thanks for watching 😊 Bag drop was really easy to find. Just look for the conveyer belts outside the terminal when you get there. We booked the theatre shows before we left but every night we went there were still free seats so you can probably just turn up too but for peace of mind we booked. Have a great time!
I know it may sound silly but is it warm inside the ship. in the restaurants Etc. As I know Norway is going to be quite cold Just need to know what to pack @@romanaandewan
@@PeterEvans-dw2ol not silly at all. I wondered the same thing! I always feel the cold but I was fine. I didn’t feel cold in the restaurants or theatre. Maybe the wine warmed me up but I think you’ll be fine inside the ship.
Just one more question 😁 I have my boarding time as 4 pm. Can I drop my bags off before this or do I have to take my bags to check in with me. I was hoping to drop my bags off and park the car early and go for a walk around town before checking in. @@romanaandewan
@@PeterEvans-dw2ol yes you can. I think we mention it in this video. Bag drop opens from 11.30am I think. Just go down to the terminal and you’ll see the people taking bags. You don’t even have to go into the terminal itself. It’s all done outside.
There’s two Wi-Fi systems really. The Wi-Fi at 2.45 is the booking Wi-Fi. That allows you to book a table and events. Nothing else. This is free. The ship Wi-Fi is the one you pay for that allows you to google stuff. Not free. Not reliable by all accounts. Obviously when you get to each port you could find a cafe and use Wi-Fi there for email etc.
Totally agree with you re internet packages. Pricey to use their packages and I loved having no access to internet at sea! I found the bag drop confusing when I got there. One of the team helped me attach my luggage labels when I handed over my luggage once I worked out the system. However my bag didn’t turn up at my cabin - when I rang reception, they said they had a bag matching description and brought it up - it was wrong bag. Fortunately I went down to reception and it was there. When I went on this cruise last year, I didn’t need to book ahead for anything so clearly a lot busier. Weird,ly, I managed to lose about 5 pounds on this cruise despite really enjoying the food - full English breakfast, pastries and cereals every day.decent lunch, and lovely suppers.
We heard of someone on our cruise who lost their luggage. Luckily ours was at our door when we got to our cabin. Glad you got yours in the end. Wow well done for losing weight! We definitely didn’t despite using the gym most days. Having desserts at lunch as well as dinner everyday probably didn’t help 😂 the food was fab! Thanks for watching :)
Hi. We had planned to go on Iona in 2025 for an anniversary treat. Unfortunately had an adverse effect on my wife. We are both pensioners and the thought of Qing for ages in pouring rain to reboard and the sheer size of the ship is filling her with dread. Also prebooking everything is annoying. 3 previous cruises on smaller ships. Great videos otherwise. Sorry to ramble
Thanks for watching and sorry the vid put you off. It is a big ship but it never felt overly busy to us. Hope whatever you do for your anniversary you have a nice time. Thanks for watching :)
Travel Insurance murderous if you have pre conditions/investigations we will not in future attempt to go anywhere be any means that requires the unbelievable hassle & aggravation - appalling VFM
Great video guys. I’ve been on a number of cruises. The first few we had a balcony. And because we only slept in the room, it seemed a waste of money.. so now we always have an inside cabin. It saves us a few bob.
Yeah it’s not bad at all the inside cabin. I thought I would feel claustrophobic. But I was fine.😊
So it’s £900 for an inside cabin, £1300 outside or £1500 balcony. Not been before and it 14 nights to the canaries. What you think? Is it worth paying more for that length of time?
