    Very detailed video, excellent resource if you are cruising on the P&O Iona! Don't blame you for going to the burger place twice, a good burger is surprisingly hard to find these days.

    I made a big mistake and you even warned me ahead of time 😂 but I ended up watching this with my morning coffee before I ate breakfast LOL, oh dear now I’m starving!
    The food is our favorite on a cruise. How cool to have a gastro pub onboard. The chicken trio looks so amazing! I’ve never had tandoori chicken before. The British retro looks so fun! Greg loves a good lasagna! And pizza of course 😂 I enjoy seeing the food in the main dining room. We were a bit disappointed in the food in the MDR on royal this time, we had some hits, but a few underwhelming meals too. The breakfast items are making my stomach growl so much 😂 those burgers look so good, so I can see why you went there twice lol! Another fantastic video! 😊💕

    • @ALifeintheParks
      @ALifeintheParks  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Finding good Indian food in the US is a rarity, I would have thought that Canada would have some great restaurants though. Tandoori chicken is incredible.
      Must be disappointing that the MDR food wasn’t as good this time on Royal, I do wonder if that’s so passenger’s pay to eat in the specialty restaurants?
      I hope that you’re now having a great breakfast, you are awake very early for a Saturday!

    That first restaurant really did look like an airport lounge. LOL. Sindhu looked amazing to me. I love Indian food and it all looked delicious here. Jack is kinda picky so I don't know that he would love it - but he can usually find something to eat. I like the look of the Olive Grove. All the food here looks really good. I think I would walk around the cruise ship feeling uncomfortably full much of the time with all that good food there. Thanks for sharing this dining review onboard the P&O Iona!

    At the sindhu do you pay a cover change AND also have to pay for individual meals? The information on P & O is a bit confusing. Thank you for a great video 😊

    • @ALifeintheParks
      @ALifeintheParks  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      You just pay for the dishes that you choose so there’s no cover charge. However when you book your reservation and I highly recommend that you go as it’s a very popular restaurant, there’s a £10 per person fee which will come off the bill once you’ve eaten there. Honestly, it’s my favourite dining option on P&O!
      Many thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it.
