- It's #embarkation Day and we're heading onboard P&O #iona for our first ever cruise to the #norwegianfjords
First things first, we need to drop the car off with CPS Parking and then we've got the morning to entertain ourselves before boarding. Once on board we're heading to our cabin (14602) and then dining in the Quays and Horizon Buffet.
This is our first ever cruise and we've chosen to travel on the P&O Iona ship in May 2024, stopping off at Stavanger, Olden, Ålesund & Haugesund. We have activities booked at all four ports! We're also checking out the onboard offerings, dining, drinks... Come along and see how we get on!

Thanks for the review, really good, we are in that cabin for my birthday in November. So very helpful.
The last time we were on P and O was in 2005. Back then the balcony looked straight down into the sea, many none of the room offer this anymore.
Thanks for watching! Hope you have a great cruise.
I was waving from the beach I think. I thought people on the beach would be easier for you to see 😂
We had binoculars! Didn't manage to spot you though hehe. Next time you'll have to paddle a boat out
Xx
On Virtuosa we had to go to our room at 3 to watch safety video, dial a number on phone then go to muster station. No life jackets in our room they were at muster station. Rooms very similar to yours, except we had 4 drawers in dressing table bit. Yours wardrobes looked bigger and you had more coat hangers than we did. Bathroom about the same, shite shower and shave at the same time 😜😂 balcony same size I reckon. Your food looked nicer, more English looking food, ours was more Mediterranean type food. Our breads and desserts were superb. Think you had better shops as well, I didn’t see any Norwegian nick knacks on ours. Our ship was a very glitzy ship, the staff were also fantastic. Can’t wait to see more of your ship.
We never really got back to the shops! Did plan on filming them a bit and even forgot to buy any ship merch. Oh well, reason to book again. It was kind of funny watching your ship go past us playing YMCA and we just quietly left port an hour after
@@gemark1605 We are researching in going again in 2026, obviously want to do different stops to what we did. And a different ship to the virtuosa. The ship is stunning, the staff fabulous, but food was just ok and I never had 1 decent cocktail. Had 4 but stuck to Bacardi and coke and Peroni after. May be doing IOM in August, and Fuengirola sometime with family. Friends have gone there today so waiting for the report on the airbnb.
I was on that cruise too! So hot wasn't it. Wasted so much space in my suitcase with big winter coats! Doh! Great video
Yeah we had all our big coats on the hooks by the door, big woolly hat too. None of it got used!
What a great cabin! Really enjoyed this one!
Thanks! We loved the cabin, spent a lot of time just relaxing there.
That hotel was so convenient!
I love your sunglasses Gemma.
The room looks really nice.
Fish and chips! Yum
It’s so nice to have relaxing balcony time.
There is so much exploring to do on that first night. Xxx
Yeah we did well with the hotel. Nice to be able to just walk down to the ship and get our bearings before we had to drop everything off. I want more fish and chips now hehe.
Great vlog. Looking forward to the next one. Love the cabin,looks big. Thanks for sharing with us. Xx
Yeah it was good in there, we just loved sitting on the couch watching the world go by.
