1st cruise. Fjords on the Iona.
We have just returned from our 1st ever cruise(26/7/2025). We were a little apprehensive as we like to do our own thing on holiday but we have loved it all! The Iona was great. Superb food, fantastic staff and the 710 club was a highlight. The Fjords are stunning. Now we would like to go back and explore for longer. We booked our own shore excursions with no problems. Some large queues at the Olden Sky lift did make us rush a little at the top, as we also had the glacier walk booked, but the views were worth it. Hazard of being on such a large cruise ship I guess. Stavanger, Olden and Hellesylt are beautiful, not so much Haugesund. We would have just liked a little longer in each port. We enjoyed taking a cruise anlong the Lysefjord and loved our trip on a rib along Geirangerfjord. It only took a day to adjust to the number of people and soon found the areas that suited us the most. Managed to find a few quiet spots to lounge and read. Having a balcony was a must, especially to enjoy the views. Watching the sunsets was magical. Our balcony room was spacious and exceptionally clean. Lots of hanging space, just needed more hangars. Once we got the hang of using the MyHoliday app (which you get when you first board) we found it easy to use but learnt that you have to be quick off the mark to secure slots in the restaurants and entertainment. Especially the 710 Club and Sindhu (which we missed out on). We will book again. Just not sure where or when.
