Two weeks on Iona by dcuk9

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Iona

Our first time on Iona, so glad we are booked on again in May, we can’t wait. Great selections of ports of call and plenty of sea days to chill out. Really spacious ship. Love the infinity pool on 16 and the infinity spas on 8.

Excellent first cruise experience by FionaJ

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Iona

Oh my gosh! It’s taken me 122 days to get round to posting this review! This was our first cruise and although the seas were a bit rough for a couple of days (and our cruise was extended by a day because it wouldn’t have been safe to return to Southampton), we loved every single minute of it. The Iona is a gorgeous ship and as it was a 2 week cruise we had plenty of time to explore. The captain was quintessentially British and we loved listening to his announcements every day as he explained how we would leave the port by “turning on a sixpence” or “pirouetting gracefully”. Amazing cruise, I’m addicted, I need to go on another one!!

Don’t bother with drink packages , you can take as much water and soft drinks of your own on as you want . And you can take 1 litre per person of alcohol

Log on to the ‘app’ as soon as possible and book your entertainment. Details are in your cabin. We were among the later boarders and still easily managed to book everything we wanted and more within minutes. Don’t leave it, you snooze you loose.
