I travelled as a solo woman in her mid 40’s. I chose this cruise as it wasn’t much more expensive than booking a land based holiday, the comparing solo supplements etc. I flew in on the Saturday with Tui, but it was on an airplane ran by Titan airways, so P&O contracted to TUI who contracted out again to Titan. Made the thank you announcements quite long! Flight was comfortable and plane ...

First Time Cruiser • Age Under 20

The only thing to say about the entertainment was that it was loud. We listened to tne full thud of it most nights in our cabin We complained to the Dining Manager Tony ( from Croatia). Twice we told him and twice he did nothing at all. Hence the low rating The food choice was good but with tne exception of tne street food was of a low quality. I’m not sure why I should pay extra to ...

Food was OK unless you paid extra when it was great. entertainment was poor compared to pre pandemic times. Far to much emphasis on tech not on quality. In old day you got a new show every night. No longer it's every other night. on line booking system is poor and older people found it difficult to use. rooms were narrow but the conservatory was great Internet package worked well but ...

Having cruised with P&O several times, and on Iona before, we were happy to book a 14 night trip to the Canaries. However, our experience during the cruise will lead us to explore other cruise lines in future. We recognise that P&O Cruises offer a value proposition - and in many ways it delivers the basics well. But even a value proposition can delight customers through actions which are not ...

What a Beautiful ship even if the central atrium is a little plain by comparison to the competition, the ship was kept spotlessly clean and in nice condition, we found the food on board to be very good by and large, although the main dinning halls menu could feel a bit repetitive, The Epicurean was well worth the extra money as was Shindu, we had mixed results from the Keel & Cow with a couple of ...

Where do I begin... Arrived on this two week cruise with an open mind as I usually cruise frequently with another provider. Iona is a much larger ship with different facilities onboard than I am use to. Once onboard after by inlarge an easy embarkation process, I embarked onto this enormous ship. The Atrium is not spectacular and feels more like a shopping centre on a high street than the ...

Too many cut backs poor service food and entertainment

check in was easy and took about 30 minutes to get on the ship. We self disembarked which was also quite quick . No wow factor on boarding the ship. There are 3 sets of 8 lifts and you wait ages for a lift and it is often full . Maximum 8 people in each lift less if there is a mobility scooter or wheelchair and there are over 5000 guests . Last day 12 lifts out of 24 were out of ...

Disappointing cost cutting by P&O!

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

Having enjoyed previous cruises with P&O and the itinerary suited our need to celebrate a birthday, we booked a cruise to Spain and Portugal. The ship is beautiful but the quality of the food and the service has declined over recent times. The daytime entertainment was poor with most events designed to 'sell' rather than entertain! No live music until mid afternoon yet the lounge was often full. ...

No idea how this ship is rated any higher than 2 stars

10+ Cruises • Age 40s

I travelled on P&O for first time and selected the ship Ventura. This was my first mistake, the ship has no wow factor like I've experienced with other brands. My biggest mistake was choosing P&O as their staff in Bars and Restaurants simply don't seem to care. 1) ordered wine with dinner, it turned up whilst I was eating my desert. 2) I asked to order a drink at a bar. It Was ...

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

Have sailed on Iona quite a few times and it’s got worse every time. With all the cabins on board, only 1 suite is disabled accessible, none of the conservatory mini suites are accessible and most of the balcony cabins have a pillar in the cabin which hinders movement of wheelchairs. None of the inside cabins are fully accessible. None of the pools are accessible unless you want to be hoisted ...
