- As first time cruisers, this holiday could not have been more perfect for us. We did lots of research before we booked on companies, ships, port options, and dates and I think we made a great decision.
Aside from Norway being spectacular and us falling in love with the country (more on that in the next vlogs!), this ship was the perfect way to sail through the fjords.
Iona is a new ship and you can tell, everything was clean and fresh, the different areas and restaurants were well themed and classy, and the cabins were spacious and comfortable - our cabin manager was so lovely too!
The food was great and suited our family, with so many options to choose from every day (the katsu chicken curry was a fan favourite!) but Mark and I also enjoyed the additional paid menus.
Entertainment wise there was something for everyone. All the performances were professional and the stage mechanics, lighting, and sound was well thought out.
Now for the negatives - there aren't many - the toilets were always clogged especially during busy periods eg breakfast and near the evening entertainment which often left you traversing decks trying to find a working one. Secondly, if you're a custard lover you might not like the one on board 😂
All in all, we had a wonderful time and are already considering another cruise, especially to Norway - what a beautiful country.

Looks great ❤❤❤
It was very good 😁
Welcome to cruising. There’s nothing else like it
We have definitely been converted to cruising! It's a case of where and when rather than if 😂
Great review and you've caught the cruise bug! We cruised to the fjords on Iona in 2022 and completely agree with your review. She is a lovely ship and it was great hearing Captain Wesley in the background describing the ships movement in his special way. We had a conservatory mini suite as a special anniversary treat (but not one of the controversial ones on deck eight). So glad you enjoyed your first cruise.
Definitely caught the bug! Captain Wesley was amazing, he made us feel very welcome and informed. Oh that sounds lovely, I think next time we will definitely have a balcony and we will probably be back to explore different Norwegian ports at some point 🙈
I was on that cruise! Great weather wasn't it
It was so good! Glad we didn't need all the coats we packed 😂
Just spotted us. You were right behind us in the silent disco conga 😂😂
No way! The silent disco was so much fun 🪩
@@wanderingadventures I’ve a feeling you might have been leaving the bar in Haugesund when I slipped on the last two steps. If it’s you sorry for my language 🫣😵💫😂😂
Bodhi and I loved this. He can't believe there is a swimming pool on the boat.
Shame to see Mark has lost his basketball skill
Aww good 🥰 I couldn't believe there was a swimming pool on the boat! I maintain that I would have beat him if I had the proper shoes on 🏀
I've just seen this absolute slander
