P&O Iona Cruise Ship - 1st Time Cruising With P&O Pt 1

Welcome to this P&O Iona cruise ship vlog.
This was our first time cruising with P&O Cruises, and we took the P&O Iona Cruise Ship on the Northern Europe Cruise from Southampton.
As first time passengers onboard the P&O Iona, we wanted to share our experiences of the Iona with you in this P&O Iona vlog.
In this P&O Iona cruise ship vlog, we look at our first 2 days onboard.
We embarked the P&O Iona Cruise Ship in Southampton, to set sail on the Northern Cruise, which was due to visit Hamburg, Rotterdam and Zebrugge (Bruges), but unfortunately our Hamburg stop was swapped with Bremerhaven, although we need not have worried, as we took a trip into Bremen and had an amazing time. This part of the journey is included in next week's P&O Iona Cruise Ship Diaries vlog.
After leaving Southampton, we spent the day at sea, and this P&O Iona vlog shows all of the things we got up to over those 2 days, plus lots of other things to do onboard the P&O Iona.
The P&O Iona Cruise Ship is truly a stunning cruise ship, and we hope our cruise ship diaries keep you entertained over the coming weeks.
In next week's P&O Iona Cruise ship diaries vlog, we take a look around Bremen plus enjoy another day at sea. In the third of the P&O Iona Cruise Ship vlogs, we have an amazing overnight in Rotterdam. The final of our P&O Iona cruise ship diaries take a look at the beautiful city of Bruges.
We will then be compiling an ultimate guide to the P&O Iona cruise ship vlog, where we will take you through the whole ship, and answer many questions you may have, such as, which restaurants are free to eat at onboard the P&O Iona, is it worth buying a drinks package, what are the facilities onboard the P&O Iona, and much much more.
If you're interested in general about cruise ships, you may be interested to know we have a series of Marella Explorer Cruise Ship diaries, vlogs and guides.
We do hope you enjoy this and the forthcoming P&O Iona cruise ship vlogs, and be sure to keep checking back for more.
Thanks for watching, and as we always say on Postcard and a Pint, Cheers To The Good Times x

⭐ About Postcard & A Pint:
Welcome to the official Postcard & A Pint KZfaq channel.
Postcard & A Pint was thought up by my partner, Rachel & myself, Wills one day while taking our daily 1 hour exercise during the lockdown of 2020. All of a sudden, we were spending more time together, not working 6 or 7 days a week in the arts industry, and binge watching travel programs, and we were actually really enjoying it, and it made us re-evaluate what was important in life for us. Now back to working 6 or 7 days a week again, with very little time off, our happy time is getting out there on our brief times off together and making short travel videos that we are now sharing with you. It's just a bit of fun, and great for our sanity. Your support is hugely appreciated x

We enjoyed your long hike and look around the ship, Rachel and Wills. Our feet didn't hurt at all! Delicious looking dinner and fun aerial show. Yes, I'm sure art heists could be very lucrative! Usually pays more than bingo. Fun first couple days. Thanks for bringing us along.

We will have to try a cruise one day, we only mainly go camping here in North Wales 🤭 but we love camping so much ! The ship looked so big but good it was an efficient check in and the food looked good. Wise advice to get in the queue early in order to get a seat for the night entertainment. Your cabin looked good too 🙂👍~ Anna

I'd say Wills possesses some brilliant origami inspired folding skills for those luggage labels. "Beast of a ship" indeed and looks to be well organized and tidy. Quite the variety of things to see, do ,eat and drink. Good thing there were many decks to explore and walk it all off. Looks like you both enjoyed the food from the different styles of restaurants , along with the many bars, beers and wines on board. Glad that your ship avoided any of those nasty " Bluetooth" icebergs ; Wills just had to mention! Perhaps someday we'll try our first cruise. Cheers!

Lovely cruise, I've never been on a cruise before, it's never appealed if I'm completely honest BUT watching your P&O Iona video, I'm sold, I'd like to experience it, especially with your stop offs too! Those Jacuzzi's looked very inviting indeed! Pretty impressed with the room size, it's amazing how much can be fit into a cabin! The food in aqua looked very tasty! Wow! the entertainment is super impressive too. Shame about Hamburg, but Bremen sounds nice and maybe a chance to do it all over again? Really enjoyed the vlog, was fun!

Jeez that is a big ship. Humble brag here. When we went to Vietnam we did it all with just carry-on for the first time. We did pay for extra carry-on, but we did it. Can't believe we've never done it before. Apparently you can wear the same tee shirt and undies for 4 weeks. 😁 Wifi too expensive here. P&Os internet packages are between $20 and $30 per DAY. T&Cs says it has to be purchased for the duration of the cruise so you can't dip in and out for a day or so. It is flamin' outrageous. Oi, 5K subs!!! Absolutely brilliant! I am so thrilled for you!

The ship looks stunning inside and out with so much on offer but I’m afraid a cruise is still something neither of us fancy at a push if we had good sea legs and we were the only ones on it or it was full of cats instead of people we might consider it 🤣 Oh no you left Brut in South Hampton 😮 The food looks great.

To be honest you can take on as much as you want. They just don't want individual bags to be over 23kg for health and safety! As we travelled down by train the last thing we wanted was multiple bags, hence jamming it all in a case each!!! Have a brilliant cruise and month in England. 🍻

$5.64 for a beer?! That’s pricey. But if you go to a Chicago Cubs game, it’s $9.00

£5.60 for a beer! Thats more like $7 - and yes, never go to an ALW theatre in the uk - you have to sell a kidney for a drink so feel your pain on the game drinks. Cheers 🍻

Yet other cruise lines went to Hamburg the day before and after we were due to go....

Did it? To be honest, Hamburg was the one port we hadn't really gelled with and we were going to see Luneburg. We didn't mind the change and loved Bremen! Cheers for watching 🍻

I can understand the weight limit if you were flying, but huh???

I think you can take as much on as you want, but for health and safety you're not supposed to have a bag more than 23kg - but as we went down via train we didn't want more than one case. 🍻
