  • Have you ever paid for a cruise then paid extra to sample speciality dining onboard the ship? We decided to try out the "fine dining" experience at the Epicurean onboard P&O Iona (also found on 4 more of the P&O fleet) for a 3 hour extravaganza of food and theatre. Here's the full experience with ever dish reviewed, a look at the rotating menus, the venue itself, service, costs and so on. So come on this gastronomical journey with us and tell us what you think! Have you tried speciality dining on a cruise ship before?

    Another great review, I always enjoy your videos, always informative, interesting and immersive. I’ve had to unfollow other bloggers who think just filming themselves in their cabin talking about their day is interesting (it’s not)

      Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate your feedback! There are people who actually do that?

      I have had to unfollow Paul & Carole as that’s what they do. It’s not interesting

    Came off Arvia on Sunday and had Afternoon tea and dinner in Epicurean and both were AMAZING

    On my last cruise I travelled with my husband, my husband's parents, my brother and his partner (and should have been my mum but she was ill). Me, my brother and his partner decided to try the epicurean for this menu on around the 4th night of the cruise - we weren't sure what to expect but really enjoyed it.
    And yes... It did entice us back to try the other - in my opinion better, menu on our last night and we insisted the rest of the group went with us (and they loved it too)

    I think we'll give Epicurean a try when we sail on Arvia. Oh and Sindhu too 😋

    it was mushy because too much liquid in the pan wasn’t a chef as they would have know that haha

      I think they put it in too soon - liquid needed to reduce first
