    Thanks for the review, really good, we are in that cabin for my birthday in November. So very helpful. The last time we were on P and O was in 2005. Back then the balcony looked straight down into the sea, many none of the room offer this anymore.

    For the plantar, trust me had it in both feet in 2013 had to get around Disney, so painful, lived and died in crocs, as time went on moved into Skechers as well, rolled my feet on a tennis ball, and a tin of frozen peas, stand against a wall facing it with elbows to hands flat against it and face almost touch said wall with feet say 12” away, so you are stretching backs of legs, like the leaning tower of Pisa, then just before I went Disney in 2018 the plantar was ok, touch wood not had it back , do lots of feet flaps as well, just bending and straightening feet, I still do it now even though I haven’t got it. Flipping awful thing to have. You can get injection in feet for it as well, which I haven’t tried. Also walking barefoot helped mine, feet as natured intended. Good luck

    • @gemark1605
      @gemark1605 4 дні тому

      Thanks for the tips, I have been doing the stretches and that really helps. I found Sketchers made it worse for me, but I guess it depends on the individual shoe. Definitely walking bearfoot makes mine worse. Fortunately it's mostly ok and only comes around occasionally if I forget to exercise or wear good shoes.

    It was good to hear your thoughts on all of the restaurants. Sindhu sounds great. We absolutely love a bit of room service on a cruise. We wondered about the drinks package for P&O our only thought was soft drinks but I think you are right when you have already paid for drinks on the ship it feels like you are wasting money to drink off the ship. All of your stops looked so fun! I dont think I would like a cruise with tons of sea days but I do like a couple of them. Hahaha the Gary Barlow hate made me laugh. I would like to do the Norway Iceland one but I think its on a much older ship. Alaska would be amazing!! xx

    Glad you had a good time cruising, looks like we’ll be ships that pass in the night again in a couple of years time, we want to do the places you did and you want to do the place we did. Looking at your vlogs I think you definitely chose the better ship, ours was beautiful but too busy, not so busy on the Norway part, but manic on Brugge and Cherbourg, and food was just ok nothing to write home about. You definitely need to do Flam.

    @garethroberts7045 8 днів тому

    Delighted that you both enjoyed it. Having sailed on P&O many times and on Iona I think this is a such an accurate review of the ship, restaurants and bars. The only thing you missed out on was the 710 club which I genuinely think you would have both loved. I’m guessing the Gary Barlow association and the theming put you off. The band is made up of some seriously talented musicians who deliver an incredible sound in an intimate setting. If you enjoyed the busker you would most definitely love the 710 club band

I found the slight rocking of the ship made me tired as well, hubby couldn’t even feel it, 🤪.

      I think there were times when it was busy, but we're usually pretty good about avoiding crowds... I'm now sure just how busy our actual cruise was to be honest. We rarely struggled to get a seat or drinks, but we were avoiding places with louder entertainment on for the most part. Then the cabin was just super relaxed and a lovely place to be when we were in the Fjords.

    Norwegian KitKats are soo good. We will be stocking up when we go in September. Also will be having a cheeky beer in the bar on the port.

      Really enjoyed that bar, I think we'd probably spend far too much if we were local 🤣

    Looks fantastic, we're going on this cruise April 2026. Were both 60 just before the cruise and it's our wedding anniversary the week after. Can't wait 👍👍

      Hi, yeah we've actually just done the post trip chat about it. Suffice to say, we'd absolutely go again.. We'd even do the same itinerary just to see stuff we missed on this trip.

    The views are just unreal! I love that they have the mountains on the glass so you can see which one is which. Oh my gosh! Those people jumping off are so brave! The waterfalls are really beautiful. Jon is so keen to try this gin he loves gin now. How cool that you saw the space station xx

      Yeah, I couldn't tire of looking at those views, just spectacular. Loved Olden, such a pretty place to stop. I'm not a gin drinker but I did try it and it seemed nice.

    Olden looked wonderful, those base jumpers are mental. Olden looks very pretty like Flåm was to us. We were up at 4 whilst sailing into flam, it took hours, we kept dozing and waking up, was showered by 7, had breakfast. Went for a sleep in afternoon. So so beautiful. Your boat doesn’t look as busy as ours. Are the meals all in the price of the cruise?

      I don't know how busy the ship was, we did tend to get lucky with our timings but it would be noticeably busier in between the shows kicking out. Food was included, but some of the restaurants had extra cost or upcharge items. Flåm would definitely be on our list for a future cruise too.
