Iona, Christmas cruise, very disappointing
Jim Hewitt | January 22, 2023 | P&O Cruises | Arcadia
Stateroom, lacked robes, slippers provided. No turn down service. No chocolate on pillow, towels only changed daily. Shampoo in shower fixed to wall. No ice in room or on walkway, could be provided but charge for the service. Wardrobe could not accommodate evening wear dresses..
Charge now made for shuttle ship to centre of town.
Dining reservation could not be made until 5.15pm. Acknowledgement made then you wait to receive a message that your reservation is available, then you have 15 minutes to arrive otherwise you lose the booking. On Christmas Day, we could not reserve a table until 9.30pm. The speciality restaurants were not worth the money, except Epicurian which was excellent.
Daily programme recommended Dinner jackets as dress that evening, why ? No Captains cocktail party. Did not see the Captain.
In conclusion, the ship is to big and impersonable.
