We have a conservatory cabin on the promenade deck booked, I did some research before so was aware they were only slightly above the promenade deck and that the balcony glass will be obscured. I dont see it as a problem, I may be proved wrong, if anyone wants to have a look over, I'll give them a wave whilst I enjoy coffee in my conservatory!

There will be some that fit this description, but I think there will also be adults that fall under that as well. We're booked on Iona early August with our 11 year old son for our first cruise but give him the choice of a beach or hike through a forest and it'll be the forest every time.

Thanks for the replies, As I say transfers (two way) are included in the hotel booking so no need to pay for a taxi. I was working on about a 20 minute walk, based on an average walking speed of 3 miles per hour but quite happy to do that, assuming that it's possible.

We have our first ever cruise booked for next August on Iona from Southampton so we are finding the posts in this forum really useful. We've read lots about arrangements for arriving by car, however, one thing we haven't been able to find is arrangements for arriving to the port on foot. We have booked the nearby Holiday Inn, including parking, for the night before. From what I can tell, the entrance to the port is less than a mile away so planned on walking over rather than taking the transfer that's included in the hotel booking. Not knowing

Loving these updates. Taking our first ever cruise next August on Iona, great to see how the build is progessing. Thanks
