Aww thanks Donna! 💕 Oh gosh! I bet you're so excited! 🤩 Have you done a cruise before? If not, I'm sure you will love it, we're itching to book another! Just trying to find one with availability for us all. 😣 Thank you for watching the vlogs lovely, glad you liked them! 🤍
Aww what a lovely family vlog. I live on the Isle of Wight and regularly nip over to Southampton so often see the Iona. Cruising on Cunard Queen Victoria later this year which will be nice. Looking forward to your next vlog😊
Hi Jonathan! 🙋🏼♀️ Thank you so much for your comment and for watching our vlog! Oh, do you really?! You're in a good spot to be able to see them. They're amazing! We holidayed near Bournemouth after covid but before the cruises were allowed to go ahead and they were all sat just off the pier. It was a sight to see! Ooh I bet that will be lovely! Maybe one day we'll get to experience a Cunard cruise too. They look stunning 😍 Have a fantastic time! 🤩
@@seetheworldwiththekids thanks guys. It's a trip with my in laws and might be abit too formal for me but we shall see. I'm more into chilling without having to get dressed up lol.
It will be an experience that's for sure, you never know it might surprise you 😊 I know what you mean though, it's nice having the option on P&O ships 👍🏻
You found areas of the ship, that we never saw. Splash zone and sports area. Outdoor pools were too cold for us and indoor pool too busy. Looking forward to see what you did in Stavanger.
Hi Neil! 👋🏻 Yes the Splash Zone was quite out of the way really. You're right the outdoor pools were cold! 🥶 We ended up in a hot tub a couple of times... much better! The round whirlpool ones, there's a bit more room for us all in those. We found a couple that weren't as busy and more out of the way to the sides of the ship on deck 17 and 18. Not as many people walking past as the ones at the back and on deck 8. 👍🏻 The indoor pool was very busy, Charlie only tried it once and said it was too busy for him unfortunately, he's like me though and doesn't like crowds too much 🙂 Thanks for watching Neil, Stavanger was fab! All being well, it will be live on Friday! ☺️ Have a lovely weekend! ✨️
Hi. We're going the same week as you next year! How busy would you say the ship felt? Also, were the bars mainly walk up, waiters come to you or a bit of both?
Hi Richard! 👋🏻 Fantastic news! Will it be your first time on a cruise? Apparently the ship was at capacity, with it being the school holidays, but it didn't feel over crowded. On sea days at certain times the bars in the atrium were the busiest and being so made service a little slower but still got drinks served. I'd say the longest we waited was about 20 minutes. The odd occasion we did go up to the bar as we saw others doing it 🤭 but they move you to the side to take your order as I don't think they like you going up, they then ask where you're sat and they bring the drinks over. Our favourite places were the Crow's Nest and outdoor Infinity Bar at the back. Any question before you go, feel free to ask 😊
Are you sailing on Iona soon? If so let us know below! 🤩🛳
As always thank you so much for watching! 🙏🏼💕
I've loved these vlogs. We go on Iona next Saturday. I've loved watching your time on the ship!

Ohhh I love Iona 😊 great vlogs 😊
Aw thank you, and thank you for watching! Yes we love Iona too, I think we'll be comparing every other ship we go on now though 😊

@seetheworldwiththekids that's great. Thank you very much! We went on a cruise 13 years ago but that was more like a ferry in comparison to Iona 😂
Golly yes, I still can't believe the size of it! Have a great time, it will soon come round! 😊
