Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I will double check but I am fairly sure it was £76 if booked on board which brings me to another point, if you book on board instead of in advance the tours are at least 10% dearer!
  2. Actually I think it is going the other way with cruising becoming more affordable to everyone.
  3. You get transport to and from the hotel and that is it as far as i can tell.
  4. We experienced a very mixed level of service in all the restaurant from two and a half hours for a three course meal in the Limelight Club to almost a rush to get you out so it doesn't seem to be a Chefs Table problem. There are definitely less waiters than there used to be and if you say no to the wine list you don't get asked if you want any other drinks, it took us several days to realise you had to ask for a drink rather than be asked !
  5. Thanks for the replies, very useful. It seems that P&O don't want you to know arrival and departure times so you don't organise your own tours, We had arranged afternoon tea at Reids Hotel in Maderia at £38 each but had to cancel because of the early (4pm) departure of Iona from Maderia, the ship's Afternoon Tea at Reids was £76 each! Overall we don't like Iona and we are very disappointed at how down market P&O has gone.
  6. Thanks for the replies, we have now been and done it and are home. Was it worth it? It was OK for free but I wouldn't pay extra for it. Food was fine but service was poor and it's just an excuse to sell their wines to you, if you can get hold of a waiter to serve you. The setting of the Horizon buffet does nothing to make it feel special, it would have been better in one of the small restaurants. We had a good time overall but we don't like Iona and are very disappointed with P&O overall, they have gone very down market and are on a par with Marella/Thomsons now except Thomson/Marella's entertainment is far superior.
  7. Where do I find the arrival and departure times for the ports we are visiting? I realise they are only approximate.
  8. We are on Iona on 14th January and was wondering what is different about The Chefs Table and is it worth booking?
