Iona Speciality Dining

[MPC1986]

There are 7 of us travelling on Iona in August across 3 bookings (although they are linked). When the speciality restaurants open for booking online, am I able to make a reservation for 7 even though my specific booking reference is only for 2 of us?

I don't know for sure, as we only had 3 of us in the one room. However, FYI, we were able to select our individual names for the restaurants (and the theatre), so hopefully the webpage will be coded so that it'll expand the name options to include those from your linked bookings.

I'm not sure about that. Mum, OH and I were linked bookings and I could only see our names, not Mum's on My P&O and the same applied to the app when on board!

If you were looking to book before boarding you might have to give P&O a ring.

We were on Iona in a group of 8 in October, we didn't book anything until boarding as we couldn't see a way to book for the linked parties online.

 

Once onboard we were able to book restaurants pretty easily just by physically going to the restaurant, it was a pain on the app as we weren't able to book a table larger than 6 on there (it wasn't possible when joining queues for the MDR either). They may have updated this by now though? At the Olive Grove they wouldn't make a booking for us manually and we had to book 2 tables of 4 via the app, we were however seated at one large table once we arrived.

For pre booking speciality restaurants all you need is the number of people dining. They just want to know who is paying for it - they don’t ask for the names of the diners!
