First cruise EVER 🛳️ Embarkation on Britain's LARGEST Cruise ship to Norwegian Fjords | P&O Cruises
Today I am Embarking on my first ever cruise and what a way to start than to head on one of Britians LARGEST cruise ship!
🛳️ We board P&Os new Iona ship bound for the Norweigen Fjords!
🛳️ We review and try out the onboard dining as well as have a tour around the Iona Ship!
🛳️ I'll show you what inside the Cabin is like with a Balcony room tour and we will finally set sail and begin our journey to sea!
I hope you enjoy this aesthetic, and fun cruise vlog!
YOU DA BEST
Love,
Catherine

If you buy a cruise the week it’s first released you can usually get good deals!
We did this cruise the week before you. We loved it. And the weather was stunning. Some of the pictures we got are amazing. We have booked 2 more now. We're hooked. We were surprised at how much food there is. It made me laugh when you went to the buffet at night. That's what we did lol. 😊
