It's here! My feature length vlog of our 1 week cruise onboard P&O Iona as we sailed the Norwegian Fjords on a roundtrip from Southampton UK. This is part 1 of 2 so much sure you look out for the second part in a couple weeks - subscribing and turning on notifications will help and by giving this video a cheeky little like you show your support which I appreciate very much. In this vlog I show you the embarkation process, lots of tips on how to make the most of a P^O cruise, from the app to booking restaurants, reducing wait times and making smart decisions about your excursions. We experience a sea day on the North Sea, the ports of Stavanger and Olden with some incredible tours to see mountain goats, waterfalls and even to the top of a snow capped mountain via one of the steepest cable cars in the world. And that's just the beginning! I hope you enjoy and get a sense of what cruising the Fjords is like through this vlog. Oh, and stay tuned until the end for some bloopers!

So love the Fjords, did my first cruise to Norway on Britannia as a treat for my Dad after he’d had a stroke. We are going again in July but this time on Queen Victoria in Princess Grills, beyond excited!!! Inside cabins are excellent value for money, especially if scenic cruising is not a major element of the itinerary but I’m not sure if it’s the best choice for a Fjords cruise, as it’s so special to sit on your balcony with a morning cuppa during sail in or sail by. I’m curious Jamie, do you not have status for priority boarding with P&O, given how frequently you cruise with them? I love being on board for lunch on the first day. Looking forward to part 2, and also learning where you’ll be off to next. Thank You Jamie❤
@TravelBlogJamie
@TravelBlogJamie Год назад
I will have priority boarding soon - nearly at the next tier - you need a lot of points with P&O! The only reason we had an inside is because of the volume of cruises we are doing this year (9 so far) so it was a case of inside or nothing at all. Enjoy QV - one of my fav ships ❤️

Great vlog as always Jamie, Love you and Mafoo. Your excursion to Lysfjord was so much like the P & O, just so much cheaper. When I went last June, the baby goat was small. They're so cute running down. The waterfall had a lot of water, but it had rained a lot. I did the Sky lift was well, absolutely phenomenal. Just booked Britannia for next May to the Fjords. Did you watch the locals sailing away from Olden? When's part 2?

@@vinerscott the ship is fantastic. Food was fine. Didn’t see any issues with staff shortages. The weather isn’t looking much better for them sadly.

Pretty confident they will have a great time. Just don’t get sick. That was what destroyed our time away. Lovely cabins but you get sick of seeing it after 3 days.

We did the same cruise on the 27th May 2023. We did the Leon sky lift which was as you guys pointed out amazing. Have been cruising to Norwegian Fjords 20yrs plus and it never disappoints. Inside cabins which you pointed once, or was it 20 times are OK however, Fjords balcony are a must in my humble opinion. I'm missing Iona and will be booking tomorrow so thanks for that 😉 Look forward to part 2.

Jamie, We are just back from Norway (yes the timing of the storm wasn’t ideal but didn’t spoil it). We travelled on Iona and loved it. Thank you for your tips and many videos that helped make a good holiday, amazing and allowed us to make the most of our time. We loved grabbing a cheeky drink at Sindhu before our nights out. .We also loved finding that all your dining suggestions (included in our faire and not) were all on point. Sindhu, amazing and our favourite of all, even topping the Epicurian taster menu. We managed to book some tours outside of P&O, which saved us a fair few quid. On one we managed a saving of nearly £200 for four of us, so I owe you a drink when I see you. While onboard we booked Arvia for the med cruise next year. So I’m off now to find your videos covering that now. Keep up the fantastic work. Thanks from us

Fantastic videos! I am thinking of taking my first cruise holiday, and lived in Norway as a kid for a couple of years so thought be nice to go back. Odd question, are there any supermarket type places near the ports at all? My brothers have already asked me to get favourite sweeties from their childhood! Thankyou.

Hmmm I’m honestly not sure about supermarkets - I don’t recall seeing any but then I wasn’t looking for them either. I’d have thought Haugesund and Stavanger most likely to have them

Good morning Jamie, so my wife Carolyn has already subscribed to your RU-vid channel and Broadway's away recommended this video along the Norwegian Fjords, so my question is next year me and my wife are doing a week along the Norwegian fjords but our 1st port Stavanger, i would like to visit Kongeparken which is South of Stavanger but I'm totally uncertain about public transport options, any help would be appreciated
@TravelBlogJamie
@TravelBlogJamie 3 месяца назад
Hi there! I’m so sorry but you’ll have seen we took a fjords boat trip from Stavanger so I’m unfamiliar with the area you’re talking about I’m afraid. I’m guessing your search online has not come up with the info you need?

Hi Jamie, so chuffed to have found this series, we are taking this cruise on Iona in April and can't wait! I have a couple of initial Qs, I'm sure we will think of more, but I was wondering: - how far in advance would you recommend booking the excursions? - the wifi you show at the start, is that just for the restaurant bookings etc or does it work to use social media etc.? As far as i could see do far, you have to pay for wifi? So was just wondering if there was actually free wifi on the ship Thanks in advance!! Ali 😄

My wife and I are on an Iona Fjords cruise on 3rd Aug. I have pre booked dining like Sindhu, Epicurean and Beach House and paid £114.00 deposit with my card. Is it true these deposits can't be paid, in part, by my onboard credit of £60 as it is paid before I get on the ship?

If you’ve paid in advance, that doesn’t come from onboard credit (ie onboard means exactly that)

Great video, I'm going in July with my wife and it's our first cruise, so very excited. One question, my wife suffers a bit from sea sickness, so we've opted for a cabin near the middle of the ship on floor 5 with a balcony as you feel it less there, did you feel the boat move much?
