The Olive Grove is a (mostly) complimentary dining experience on P&O Iona and Arvia. It's inspired by Mediterranean specialities and is probably one of the busiest and most popular restaurants on board! It can be quite difficult to get a table here at times. So, here's my full review of both our evenings at the Olive Grove onboard Iona. Does it live up to its hype and how did we bag 2 reservations? Well, it's time to find out by clicking the link. Every dish is reviewed too! Have you eaten here? Share your experience below!

I was on Iona for two weeks last year and I went to the Olive grove 6 times!!! I booked on embarkation because I heard it was busy, but after that I just turned up and asked for a seat. However, I am a solo traveler, so that made it easier I guess to slot me in. Olive Grove is the BEST food on the ship and as a complimentary venue its just so good. Favourite dishes were the Creme Brulee, the Peri Peri chicken, and the pizza... and the Baklava... er.... all of it was just great for me.

Another great video Jamie - an nice honest review. We have been to the Olive grove on Iona on two separate cruises and could not fault it - mind you both times there were far less people on board. I did think your first platter was lacking some colour and presentation a bit. I am heeding your warning and have started compiling our restaurant bookings for our cruise…which isn’t for another 6 weeks!! 😂

We went to the Olive Grove a few times for lunch and once for dinner when we sailed on Iona last March. Personally I feel it's a great lunch venue and perfect for a very casual dinner. The menu choices I made were great. As you say it's always easier to be more forgiving if you haven't paid any supplement. I enjoyed the Lemon Drop cocktail and it was consistent on every visit. Thanks for another great video!

We'll take your advice and book a night in the Olive Grove for when we're on the Arvia in July. After all, we've gotta give everything a go, don't you think 😁

We really enjoyed the Olive Grove, but we agree that not all dishes were up to standard or expectation. Lovely venue though and great that most dishes are included in the cruise fare 😊

If you have a drinks package do you get your drinks free of charge in the olive tree.
@TravelBlogJamie
@TravelBlogJamie Год назад
Yes you do (as long as they are £6.95 or less, as per terms of the drinks package)

Is there a specific time that bookings open up to be made in advance 2 weeks prior? Or does P&O just send an email arbitrarily?

I notice from your video that you should book the Olive Grove 2 weeks before. We are going on Iona 3/8/24 so the pre booking is available from this Saturday. In Manage my booking the Olive Grove, unlike the Beach House which says coming soon, says Please enquire onboard. Has this changed since your video? If so we have a 1230 boarding time which should give us time to book onboard.

Would you believe I didn’t try any of the cocktails here 😮 we enjoyed the wine - the Vinho Verde and Picpoul de Pinet especially. Hope the over-rosed ice cream wasn’t my fault as when we were onboard we commented that it wasn’t very rosey 🫢
