Brilliant, thank you!

Thanks for reply 😊 how can you find out space per passenger please? I’ve not seen that before 🤔

Thank you 😊 im sure we will enjoy it. I’ve loved all 3 of the cruises I’ve been on so far & am so excited to return to cruising post covid luckily we have a balcony cabin so I can escape back to that if I need to as well 4 days to go! 😃

I’m curious please- Were you not keen because of the crowds, or another reason?

Thanks for your reply yep, def do or die 😆 I also get anxious in crowds. But on previous ships have always managed to find some quieter parts of the ship I’ll be the one squirrelled away/ hiding in a entertainment venue when the entertainment isn’t on, 😂. Hopefully next to a window playing uno or reading I’m just going to have to suck it up regarding buffet. And pick my times for food well will definitely pack those refillable bottles, thanks for the advice I know this will be packed out. I was thinking ‘can’t be any worse than the navigator at max capacity can it?!’ 🤞 🤞

Hi, it’s half term & we’re doing our first ever P&O cruise on the Iona. 22nd-29th Oct. REALLY excited after so many covid and family health emergency cancellations. unsurprisingly it’s full. So I was wondering how cramped will it feel? i’m told newer ships are better for being less cramped or at least feeling less cramped we’ve been on RCI independence & navigator during school hols (pre covid) it was very cramped, but still really enjoyed it & can’t wait to be back on the water Are P&O ships any less cramped? & are the newer ships actually better at coping with full capacity. Or is that just a selling point that is nonsense? 😂

Hi, sorry I don’t have details, but I came here to ask the same question too love it if I could get info about the kids clubs too. We sail for one week on 22nd October with our 9 yr old shes seen some videos on youtube that show the inside of the clubs and loves the look of them. I think it was ‘cruises for families’ channel. ‘Iona kids clubs’ , 7 min long, if you’ve not seen what they look like yet

Thank you to everyone who has replied. I’m pleased to see it’s still as simple as it was 4 years ago for now, anyway. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for some sensible planning for the new rules next year. thanks again 😃

Hello everyone ok, I obviously know that we need passports, and there is passport control 😂 however, having not travelled into the EU since before Covid and seeing the insanity at Dover, how much insanity, if any, is there to enter EU countries off your Cruise Ship we are off to Belgium, Holland & Germany on Iona on the 22nd October from Southampton First time on P&O though we travelled from Southampton twice we’ll all fully vaccinated with vaccine passports too thank you Leanne
