  • There's a huge selection of shops onboard P&O Iona cruise ship. It has always made me think whether the shops are a bit of a tourist trap and whether you are really getting a good deal. So in today's Cruise Show UK I challenge the onboard shops against buying online from home.
    Here are the items features in this video and a link to the place where I obtained the online price. The Amazon links are affiliate links - so if you are considering making a purchase I would be very grateful if you'd use these links. They cost you nothing more.

      G’Day Sarah! Oh I Looooooooooooooove Sydney. It’s one of my favourite places in the world. I do feel for you with the lockdowns. It’s been a dreadful time for all of us. I’m sure you guys have turned a corner and will soon be out of lockdown. I hope you’ll be sailing again one day very soon. David

      Thanks John. Yes there are many more shops on Iona, compared to Britannia. It was an interesting test. I never thought I’d was cheaper to buy onboard.

    I brought a Jo Malone on Iona
    Good to know I was not ripped off, Claire said it was a good price so got me to get her a Peony and Blush suede as well !
    I didn’t mind as it smells lovely on her.

    • @CruiseShowUK
      @CruiseShowUK  3 года назад

      Hello Paul! Nice to hear from you! They had such a good range of products on Iona, including Jo Malone and Neom. Good to see ‘current’ brands on board. Thanks for watching as always. David. P.S say Hi to Claire

    I was really quite surprised by those findings. I have bought a couple of Skagan watches previously and a DJ - left mine hanging behind a door at home :-( , never bothered to check on how much they were online - did not want to find I had spent more than needed :-) pleased with both.

    • @CruiseShowUK
      @CruiseShowUK  3 года назад

      Thanks Peter… before this test, I was certain the onboard shops were always more expensive. I was really surprised to find, that on Iona, there were deals to be had. It’s got me thinking about other ships/lines. So, I may repeat this exercise on another line/ship in the future. Thanks again for watching. David
