If you want to renew your vows or get married, I’d sure rather have Neil Turnbull or Robert Camby they would be great fun and make it a real occasion you’d never forget!

Don’t you get 10% off anyway when you book it before boarding plus any loyalty discount.

Just heard next port will be Southampton!

Thank you very much Bin man. Much appreciated.

We are on this cruise also, last time we had a delayed boarding it was total mayhem at the terminal. We missed early dinner sitting and expect this might be the case again.

Can anyone paste a copy of the Captains page from the most recent Moments please. They have stopped sending ours through the post. Got several cruises booked for 2024 and keen to know who the Captains are if possible. Thank you in ad advance.

Selbourne as a matter of interest how many formal night are planned for your cruise. Last week N331 was 1 week and we expected 2 but only ended up with 1. Not sure if this was due to it being half term cruise with a huge amount of kids on board? Just wondered if the rest of the fleet might be reducing formal nights following in Iona?

Selbourne sorry for the late reply, been a hectic few days getting home and back to work tomorrow. We thought the MDR food was very good, always something to tempt us. As far as I could see the upgrade was the same option each day, we did not take them up on it as found the regular options enough for us. The cruise was only 1 week so longer cruises the menu may get a little repetitive. Thought the ship was generally in good order and hope you enjoy your cruise. We are already catching up on you blog!

We are on Ventura right now first sitting no offer to hold half bottles of wine.

As a matter of interest who is appearing in the Limelight club on your cruise? We are on Iona next week and have La Roux struggling to convince the wife and her mother it will worth seeing.

We had Neil on a Christmas cruise on Aurora, we thought he was one of the best Captains we had had. We looked forward to his updates and he gave a commentary on our passage into Oslo which was really informative. I’d rather hear some of his old jokes than have the virtual Captain, when you hardly hear from them and wonder if they actually aboard.

Fantastic news thank you binman2, much appreciated

Can anyone confirm who is the current Captain of Iona? We are on cruise G321 leaving Southampton on 1st July so starting to get excited now only 3 weeks to go. We are taking my wife’s mother, her first cruise so wanting things to be as good as possible. The Captains announcements can really add to the experience IMHO. thanks

Can’t help with the recent menus but my wife is dairy intolerant, we always make sure this noted at booking and there is normally a letter waiting for us in the cabin. It works best on fixed dining as you waiter gets to know you and your needs. However on freedom dining, make sure on the first night you tell your waiter your situation. He will then most likely inform the head waiter and they normally bring the next days menus for you to pre-order. On the next night you just tell them you have preordered and they will pick this up via your room number. In freedom dining it is a bit more clunky in our experience. Hope that helps

Remember to pack your swim wear in your hand luggage as you large luggage can arrive later in the day.
