It was interesting seeing you compare the two ships side by side. We loved P&O but haven’t tried Marella. You will have to try all the other companies now and see how they compare xx

Which P&O and which Marella?

Good honest review, thank you. We’ve only done 1 x cruise on Iona but I did compare prices against Marella and P&O appeared better value for us. I think like you, it depends on what you are looking for and what you will use. We don’t drink a lot so didn’t buy any drinks packages, however bought some cocktails and drinks just as and when we wanted them. Spent about £125 in total compared to almost £700 that the drinks package would have cost. Thanks again for your reviews and the whole series, enjoyed watching them.

Great video guys! I have done both marella and p&o, I loved Marella for the all-inclusive and friendly vibe! Also the staff and entertainment was so much better on Marella compared to P & O!... Plus like you say the towel animals are a bonus when you return to your cabin! The theater on the Marella is so much better, as you say, with drinks and, most importantly, somewhere to put your drink, unlike P&O, which had no tables or anywhere to put your drink in the theatre! Just booked another one on Marella Discovery 2 so super excited! - Kelly -

Thank you for sharing. Great video and really helpful. Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️

Nice one guys, will definitely do one of these cruises one day. What car park was it you parked in? Have a great week 😊

That guy devoured all the food 😂🔥good eats bother!!

I always worried an inside room would be very small but it looks like you have lots of space and plenty of storage. Xx

Good evening guys enjoyed looking around the cabin with you. It looks lovely and clean. You did well to jump on the bed i wouldnt manage it. Hope you have a great weekend Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️

Hello, very nice video 👍👍👍

I always found the quays pretty good - better than the buffet at any rate, Itried the buffet three times (breakfast, lunch and supper) on iona, and a few times on arvia. Bland and tepid at best!

Starrrrff 😂

Lol about the shoes. I've heard stories of people packing all their clothes and having to leave in bathrobes. 39 days to go before we go, really hoping we see the lights in Norway but it might be too early.

Hahaha Jon would be getting up at 7.30 alone to enjoy the jacuzzi. It looked like a nice way to start the day. I think the Gonk turned out so cute! The 7 10 lounge looked like a nice last evening activity. Aww how special that you got to see the northern lights too!! Aww your kitty cat is so cute! Omg haha thank hod your bag was still there for you to grab your shoes! Xx

We loved the crafting on P&O Aurora. It's good to see what you made. Our craft activities were totally different. Great vlog series. We enjoyed our time on Iona as well. Keep up the good work. What is next for you guys?

You should always go to the main dining room for breakfast on disembarkation. Much more relaxing.

That should have said luggage!!😂😂😂

You are funny… That’s the only thing with having to put your luggage outside the door so early isn’t it… I’m going on IOna in September with my friend to the Norwegian fijords… We’re going down from York, so we’re on a coach so hopefully we won’t see our location till York! Really enjoyed all of your blogs…

Hi guys, was worth getting up early, looked relaxing.The crafting was fun. Pleased you enjoyed your food. That meal did look good. How amazing to see the Northern Lights. Thank you for sharing your trip. Have enjoyed watching. Just as well you remembered your shoes before it was too late. Have a wonderful weekend. Best wishes Dave and Dawn♥

Thanks for sharing this video friend. I'm a new friend ka tons vlog .full support my friend ❤❤

Hi, love these videos, I’m going on this same cruise next June, really looking forward to it. Are you from Leeds? xx

Gutted you missed your final port, looks like you enjoyed the food on the ship 🤗

What a shame but it’s nice that they added extra things on. Your luggage tags turned out great I would love little classes like that. Xx

Hi guys, shame that you couldn't do the trips that you had planned but pleased that you found plenty to do. Thank you for sharing. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️

It’s a lovely little place Alesund definitely on my to visit list. Have a great weekend 😊

great video! im looking at doing this soon :) just wondered what your port times at stavanger was?

51 days to go! Wondering if we should book something for Alesund now though, not canoeing though, not a fan of cold water and I would defo end up in it.

We loved Alesund. Jon did the kayaking there and he did enjoy it but they didn’t make him wear a wetsuit and he had a single kayak haha. Haha the enthusiasm for the football xx

Hi guys, enjoyed watching the next part of your trip. Looks lovely there. Beautiful views. The reflections on the water are stunning. Napkin folding sounds fun. Food looked tasty. Pleased you enjoyed the show. Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️

Just wondering what was the security like?

No drink package

Hi guys Looking forward to following your cruise, its on our bucket list too. Iona looks a lovely ship, we would need a map to get round. Looking forward to following the rest of your Norwegian adventures 😊 Morgs Jo and Boo 🐕

Hi guys Thank you for sharing your time in Lincoln, even though we're only in East Yorkshire it's somewhere we've never visited. Its been added to our must visit list. Loved the teapot That cake looked delicious 😋 Morgs Jo and Boo 😊

Hi Fab review Looks a lovely shepherd's hut and great that its dog friendly too 😊 Kitchen area looks very well equipped. Just discovered your channel so looking forward to following your adventures 😊 Have a lovely week Morgs Jo and Boo 🐕

Really enjoying these videos, so relaxed and informal. On this same cruise next week so looking forward to experiencing some of the things you have shown us. Thank you both.

Love the Star Trek Delta tattoo

Which is better Switzerland or Norway??

So lovely to see this. Did exactly the same trip at the beginning of May (we were on Sky Princess) and fortunately our weather was gorgeous. So not what we expected. Really enjoyed the walk up and back again and the scenery was stunning. Thanks for sharing😊

The glacier is so cool to see. The waterfalls all around look amazing too. Haha using your go pro case as a lunch box is such a good idea. That show looked a bit awkward haha xx

Some lovely scenery there guys, ice cream looked tasty. Have a great weekend 😊

Wow ! How amazing is this. Absolutely stunning. Must have been wonderful to visit. Food looked tasty too. Have a wonderful weekend. Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️

Aww we really liked Stavanger and the colourful street. The maritime museum looked interesting! That is disappointing about the origami. I would have wanted to do that too. The performers were very talented. Xx

It’s so good that they have a Norway shop. The archery looked fun haha. The cocktail with the candy floss looks nice. There is nothing better than a sunset at sea. I love a silent disco but Jon thinks it’s cringe haha xx

Thanks for sharing your trip off board. It gave a much better impression of the place than we'd seen on other vlogs! Shame about the origami 😞

Stavangers on my to do list looks like you guys had a nice time 😊

Hi guys hope you are both well. This looks a great stop the buildings looked fantastic. The Cathedral looked great loved tge colour of tge brickwork shame it was closed. That was great about the houses what a good idea. Looked like Eddie and Riche from Bottom were running that tattoo shop 😆 . We always like a free museum. The show looked good. Looks like a great day thank you for sharing it with us. Hope you have a great weekend Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️

This was an interesting video

Im on this cruise soon. Such a useful video, thanks

McDonald's chicken has thick fat behind its skin, while Jollibee's chicken does not have such a characteristic. I don't know why this difference occurs.

heh after doing the adriatic like us your now doing the fjords, we are booking for September... :)
