Thanks very much for that, much appreciated

You really should not treat your partner that way😂

Really dull question but kind of useful to know. What and how many electrical sockets have you got in your PH2. Are they US, EUR? Also what is there in terms of USB sockets? Will be joining next week and want to check if I need to do a quick run to the hardware store.

6.30 is a late lunch for me😆

Seriously I would choose another ship this year and see if this horrendous litany of failings can be sorted before booking on Iona.

If the current Norway season is anything to go by then which ports you visit now seems to be nothing more than a lucky dip and whether you get 2 3 or 4 ports on your 7 night cruise a matter of chance. As does which restaurants and bars might be open and when. As their new flagship Iona limps back to Southampton after yet another failure to fulfil its published itinerary it seems like the comparison with Easy Jet may be generous.

Anyone know why Iona diverted to Alesund. Is it because of weather or protests about it going into the Fiord or what!!

So three of these cruises have now returned. No news of plague ships returning to Southampton but does anyone have any anecdotal news of how the test is going?

It didn't tender as it has to unload over 5000 passengers and it would take forever…………………… what is more questionable is how does a ship supposedly designed specifically for the Fiords seem incapable of docking at Gerainger one of the primary Fiord ports, cannot dock at Flaam because it is too big and continually seem to have handling problems in a light breeze. Expect to see Arvia and Iona shipped off to sail the Med and the Caribbean before too long.

Just think yourself lucky if they are actually open…………….
