It is busy with children this week, that’s for sure. horizon has times of being a war zone!!

Here on Iona now the quays are fantastic. Horizon does not have the same selection as it used to and no themed nights either. I would also say the quality was down since covid. freedom dining is a nightmare if you have not got a booking and enter the virtual queue. You can loose you place if you let your screen go off. The old fashioned pager system worked much better.

I am on Iona now and been told to use the app to book freedom dining

So last I heard you went to your muster station when you board and not have to stay cramped in the muster station with a life jacket on just before sale away is this still the case?

Last time we used CPS there was a huge queue and wait time so could be worth using someone else if you can.

We do usually go to the Buffett but we have found on the Britannia that on Sea days it can be som busy your can't find a table, and with Iona being even bigger we want a backup alternative . On port days we are usually up early watching the ship dock and then hit breakfast about 6:30 and off the ship asap to explore.

Hi All We are off on Iona on Saturday. We have always used the buffet for breakfast but guessing it's gonna be busy. I understand you can go else where for breakfast. Can anyone advise which restaurants they are and what they would offer. Thanks

Thanks for the info. We are used to walking so it's not too much of an issue even if it is an hour away.

So quick question We have done Hamburg before so we were thinking of something different to do on our trip next week. There is a tunnel that runs under the river called old Elbe Tunnel (will put the link below incase anyone is interested) which we fancy going to see. We were going to walk to it as it's only about 25 mins from the terminal but someone told us you can't walk from the Cruise ship you have to take a bus for taxi. Can anyone shed any light on if this is correct? https://www.hamburg-travel.com/see-explore/maritime-hamburg/old-elbe-tunnel/#close__overlay-map__1450987

I finally found info Need to call them on 03453 555 111 if anyone ever needs to do this

Can anyone advise how you can order flowers for the cabin. I can't seem to find in once logged in to the portal and on the p&o site I can find a pdf of prices but to much else Thanks

So I have heard that on Iona on a weeks holiday you only get 1 night to dress up unlike Britannia and oriana etc where you would have 2. Can anyone confirm this is the case.

Hi All Just looking at all the places to eat on Iona. Is The Keel and Cow a chargeable venue or its it included as I can't seem to find the info Thanks

I received the email about giving us £100 extra on-board spending money, which was tactically send just before we were due to pay the balance. We had already chose the option of parking at booking time Once the balance was paid it appeared on our final invoice of £50 onboard opening money each.

Hi All We have not been on a cruise in a while and wanted to check a few items ready for our trip on Iona in April. I keep seeing posts about booking restaurants on board with an app, does this include the buffet and the freedom dining restaurants. I presume you can still take a litre of alcohol on board currently, I take it we can also take bottles of Pepsi to go with it? Thanks in advance
