Iona Cabin 14452

[Dmr61]

I recently booked a Norway cruise for Jun 2023 on Iona (before signing up to cruisecritic !).

 

Cabin 14452 was available and after reading various websites that suggested that it was a good location with large balcony completed the booking.

 

Since doing so I have found a YouTube video describing a horrible noise from this February.

 

 

Has anyone stayed in the cabin more recently and has the noise issue been fixed?

 

I also appreciate now that Iona and the Fjords may turn into a mystery tour!

There’s a lot of reports of creaking noises in Iona’s cabins. We had issues on 5 deck (balcony / mid ships).

Thanks for this.  14452 is also mid-ship.  

 

If this is common  I wonder what P&Os plans are to resolve!

The stock answer is that its good for ships to creak rather than to crack.

Very true 👍. 

 

The sound on the video sounds more like something is knocking or loose.  

 

I have asked the same question of P&O via their Contact Us online form. Think it's been two weeks and still waiting for a reply.
