Hello due to sail in 2 days can’t wait. Was wondering what Main dining rooms people might recommend or which people prefer. Also will be my dads 70th while we’re away any recommendations of where to book. Thanks Dillie

Thanks both for answering about the casino. Ok so I can use notes but you put card in first & any winnings you cash out at the casino cashiers great Got it hehe. Appreciate your help. 😊

I’m due to go on Iona in a few weeks & first time with P&O. In the Casino playing the machines not tables do you use cash notes or coins? Or do you use your sea pass card? If using sea pass card does money come off your onboard credit?. Hope that makes sense. I see there’s 4 main rooms. Which out of the 4 do people recommend dining in?. I’m going to try and prebook as I want to know I’ll be able to get a table for 6 including wheelchair. But I know there’s lots of options for different places at dinner time. thanks Dillie

Haha I’ve just read again what I wrote. I obviously made a typo 🤣. Of course I knew she’s a vegetarian. I meant good to know there’s the options for vegetarians 🤣

A great was pure guess for weskiers hehe.

Thanks for that. Hopefully as we will eat earlier things will be easy. That’s great to know my aunt is a vegetarian.

Thanks for answering about the Casino. That’s good to know. I’m not for the tables but my dad has a go. I bet they wish that was a real perk hehe. Ok allocated time when filling in pre cruise form. Thanks Dave.

Thanks for peoples input. I’m hoping my cruise sailing in the dining room goes ok 🤞. Can I ask another couple of questions. In the Casino I’m guessing British sterling notes will be used or is it on your sea pass card?. I did read some comments that you’re allocated your boarding time is that correct?. Thanks Dillie

That’s good to know thank you.

Oh ok that’s interesting about earlier or later times. I’ll have another look.

Oh yes that’s a normal thing isn’t it coming out of the theatre with wheelchairs will be really busy. Thanks I did wonder if prebooking on App for the theatre. It seems to be on all ships that there’s not enough wheelchair spaces in theatre.

Thank you Brian. That’s helpful regarding the Queuing for the dining room especially if you miss the time hehe. Yes could be something waiting for a lift. I will see if I can find menus for the speciality restaurants. Thank you for your reply. Dillie

Hello My family & I will be going on our first P&O cruise onboard the Iona in January and we have a few questions so any help will be appreciated. I apologise if all questions have been asked before. Firstly I know Iona is all freedom dining & you can arrive at the dining room and queue or via the app virtual queue for the dining room. I’m used to early seating but sure will be ok. I do however have one concern I use a wheelchair so I’m hoping if either heading to the MDR or virtual queuing this is taken into consideration. But I’ve also read we could prebook 2 weeks before we board. Wondering if that might be a good idea with having to book for a wheelchair before we sail. Do people have favourites of the MDR restaurants?. Also is there good choice of Vegetarian food?. Do the Spas ever have offer’s onboard?. Maybe cheaper prices on port days? I’m also assuming that shows in theatres are booked on the app & does a wheelchair space show to select?. Also it will be my Dads 70th while onboard we’re thinking of booking a specialty restaurant what restaurant do people recommend for a special occasion?. Thanks in Advance. We’re looking forward to our first time on Iona. Dillie

Hello does anyone know who the Diamond and suite concierges are on the Anthem?. Thank you 😊
