I am travelling on Iona in 5 weeks, so thank you for uploading this detailed video of the check in. It was very informative and I look forward to viewing the rest of your posts.
Hi Jess and Wayne I go cruising on the Britannia in 3 weeks I'm very excited. Jess please could you do a vlog with some ideas on clothes to take? Thanks 😊
Hi Sarah, That’s so exciting that you are going on The Britannia. I am so jealous. I’m afraid I won’t be able to get a vlog up in time before your cruise as I’m very busy with editing lots of other exciting vlogs from trips we’ve been lucky enough to take recently. If you go on our Instagram. You will be able to see all of the outfits that I wore for evenings, celebration nights and day time. I wore pretty casual outfits in the day like dresses, shorts, jeans, T-shirts depending on how warm or cold the weather was on the day. In the evening I wore jumpsuits, faux leather trousers with dressier tops, dresses, playsuits. For celebration/ formal night I wore a ball gown one evening and a silk style dress on another. I also packed one pair of heals that went with everything and in the day I wore strappy sandals. I am sorry that I couldn’t be any more help. In most of the vlogs onboard Britannia and Iona you could see what I wore quite well :)
@@sarahdavies2592 thank you so much. That’s ever so kind of you. If your on social media. I’m happy to send you some photos of my outfits for inspiration. I’m no fashion expert. I just wear what makes me feel pretty and comfortable xxx
Thank you Anne, Apologies for the late reply. Thank you so much for your kind words. It really means a lot. Cruising on board the Iona is a must. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I hope you enjoy the rest of the series 😀 - Wayne 👍
This video is by far the most detailed I've seen regarding the embarkation process!! 👍🏼 Note to self; wear comfy shoes as it looks like ALOT of walking!! 😬😄 Looking forward to seeing more of your videos and how you guys enjoyed the rest of your cruise!! 😁 Xxx
Thank you so so much. That’s really kind of you. We are so pleased. We’ve always said if can just help at least one person we would be happy. It is some walking - I wore heals of a night and managed okay - but sometimes they did get taken off 🤣 That’s so lovely of you. These cruise vlogs will continue every Sunday. xxx
@@HolidayWithTheHeathers I'm taking heels but they aren't too high so should be OK. But will definitely be wearing trainers to travel as that seemed alot of walking round the terminal and then to the dining room for the welcome lunch. But the glass of bubbly when we get there will make it all worthwhile I'm sure! 😉😄 Alot of the videos I've watched, and I've watched loads since last year, seem to skip all the checking in procedure. It maybe because the people making the video may thing others will find it boring but I've been wanting to see how it all works and how smooth it goes. Your video did exactly that so now I know what to expect. Thanks again and keep the fab videos coming! Enjoy the rest of your holiday!! 😁 Xxx
@@rebeccamorris871 of course make sure the heals are comfortable. The welcome lunch was delicious. Really nice touch from P&O Cruises. I’m glad you found our video informative. We for sure will continue to vlog so you all can enjoy the content :) xx
We were meant to travel on the Iona in 2020 (July) but ofc covid prevented us! Glad you managed to get out- its an awesome ship. Bit weird how they make you in the same wrong with everyone despite not knowing wether your positive or negative … oh well!
Thank you for so much commenting. We are so sorry for the late reply. We found the whole boarding process very safe and smoothing sailing (sorry for the pun lol) If you have any questions or need any tips please feel free to comment :)
I stayed at that hotel last year and would never go back it was so dirty, one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed and had lots of complaints when I was there , maybe it’s changed now but had awful experience. I just notice the amount of times you said thank you was such a lot !
We are so sorry your stay wasn't a pleasant one. If we had a bit more money, we too would have probably stayed somewhere nicer/fancier. But due to our finances we could only afford a budget hotel. We only used it as a base, somewhere to sleep and shower. We spent most of the day exploring what Southampton had to offer. If and when we cruise on budget again, We would have no qualms staying here again. The bed was very comfy and we thought the breakfast was delicious and the great thing about it was, it was only a short trip to the cruise terminal and town centre. Thanks for taking the time to watch our vlogs and commenting on them 😀 - Wayne 👍
Hey Guys! Was lovely to catch-up with you guys onboard. Wishing you both all the best. Love to meet up again as you live so close! Not banjaxing your amazing channel, If anyone would like a 360 view of Iona, head over to my channel (if that's ok). Just remember, Captain Robert Canby can be identified be he "Always wears his hat!" (Made us chuckle )
Hi John, It was lovely to meet you both too. I’m glad you recognised Wayne. That would be nice to catch up one day. Of course. I’m more than for you to promote your channel. :)
I always laminate and staple my luggage labels. Xx
That’s a really good idea. Thanks for the tip xxx
