They do a very nice Sunday lunch - 2 courses for £14.95. Can be starter and main or main and pudding. A large glass of wine for £5-95 very reasonable we thought! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We rarely ventured into the Horizon buffet and yes it was Beach house and not Glass house on Deck 16. We had room service breakfast every morning. There was a £2.50 service charge for this and there was no hot items to eat or drink. Graham. Is the service charge something new for Iona? I always have breakfast delivered on P&O and never had a charge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We thought that as well. We had a balcony cabin for a change and were looking forward to ordering a light breakfast to have on the balcony for a few days. Luckily we were on deck 15, so I just nipped up to the buffet and brought some stuff back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bin man Posted September 19, 2021 #25332 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Room service Additional cost For a little extra Additional cost Dining Morning, noon, and through the night, if you fancy a bite to eat in your cabin, you’ve a mouth-watering room service menu to choose from… meals, desserts, snacks and drinks, all prepared with care and delivered with a smile. A small supplement applies to each item, apart from breakfast, which is included in the price of your holiday. Onboard Activities So p and o say on their website additional cost apart from breakfast ? Trades description or what ! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went for a Christmas meal at Rowlands a few years ago, food was very nice. I hope your party is an indoor one, given the torrential rain that is gracing Medway right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SarahHben Posted September 19, 2021 #25334 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Afternoon all. It's piddling down here, thundering too. Graham, lovely photos of your cruise, hope you had a good time. I've just sorted out my clothes for our Devon holiday next week and am feeling a bit cross with myself, lots of clothes that either don't fit or barely fit, not much wiggle room for cream teas and Hockings clotted cream ice creams. 🙄 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josy1953 Posted September 19, 2021 #25335 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Does anyone on here know if PCR tests are required when disembarking from a cruise that only visits British ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adawn47 Posted September 19, 2021 #25336 Share Posted September 19, 2021 I don't know if anyone's been keeping an eye on the news about the earthquakes and tremors that have been happening on La Palma over these last few days. There were predictions of a possible eruption, and the volcano erupted this afternoon. Avril 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got home a couple of hours ago after a 315 mile drive home from Southampton. We had an amazing 7 nights cruise on Iona. The ship was fabulous and is now top of our list of ships. Graham. Great photos Graham, can I just ask which stateroom you were in as the balcony looks a decent size. Thinking of sneaking a cheeky one in later 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are at the back of deck 10 again on Sky Princess. We fell in love with the corner aft cabin on Azura and had booked the same one on Ventura but it was cancelled. Have one similar for August 2021. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always have breakfast delivered on P&O and never had a charge. Yes the breakfast service charge was a first for us on P&O. We had room service on Britannia 22-26 August and there was no room service charge for breakfast. I usually give the waiter £2 but not when their is a service charge. The little corridor from the door past the bathroom was very narrow so I collected the tray from the waiter just inside the room while he kept the door open and I placed the tray on the dressing table.

With our 8.5% discount it came to £2.29. I felt sorry for the waiter as I always give a £2 tip and had a bank bag with several £2 coins in for this purpose.
