1 Week onboard P&O Iona Cruising Northern Europe (Part 3 of 3)

1 Week onboard P&O Iona Cruising Northern Europe (Part 3 of 3)
It’s the finale! Come with me as we head to Bruges on the final full day of our P&O Iona cruise of Northern Europe. I’ll show you both how to waste and save money when ashore 😆 It’s a Long Night ahead in the bars, silent disco, main dishing room, 710 club and, eventually, admitting deafest and packing. The next and final day I show you the disembarkation process, see Maffoo and my fur babies and those all important reflections on the whole week.

I love when you do the Pringles lips! It makes me laugh so hard😀

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Job done on that case ❤️

[@ryanharris4964]

Maffoo is like just get the hell in will u 😂😂

[@TravelBlogJamie]

True story

[@Sharon1968]

Oh Jamie, I love your vlogs anyway but this one was a joy to watch. You were happy and relaxed. I have no cruise plans in the near future, all land based, but I can still travel vicariously with you. Looking forward to following your adventures, wherever they take you (and me!). xx

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@christinacampbellbooks]

Bruges looks absolutely beautiful. Such a pretty place ☺

[@TravelBlogJamie]

It’s a gorgeous place to explore

[@susanglasgow8992]

Clipperty “bloody” clop!,, 🤣🤣🤣. Xx

[@frenchietj]

Luv the vlog. Amanda is in luv with the furries. She’s such an animal lover. She retired from nursing two years ago and now works four mornings a week at her friends Cattery never seen her so happy. How’s Bali 🐈‍⬛❤️

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Let me get there already lol 😆

[@Tania008]

Your enthusiasm throughout all of your vlogs is infectious. Even on a damp wet day in Bruge you make the whole experience positive and fun! Enjoy Bali my darling! Booking Queen Anne for 4 nights in August can’t wait. Save travels Tania x

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Thank you so much 😊

[@michellecrawford7986]

I’m embarrassed how childish my sense of humour is. I laughed out loud at BRUG Brug and turn down service with a kettle on the pillow. Thanks for keeping it silly! Xx

[@TravelBlogJamie]

I’m the same, as you can see lol 😆

[@martgamer0197]

Great series Jamie. Me n the missus really fancy trying out a mini cruise across to Bruges and/or Rotterdam. Also, kudos for coining the phrase "Blankcident". (At least that's how it sounds in my head.)😂

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Thank you and yes, great itinerary

[@jonathanj753]

If the weather is bad De Halve Mann brewery tour is a good way to spend some time and the Zot 🍻 is great, also have a nice restaurant.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

👍👍

[@Shello58]

So long, Farewell 🎶 Rodgers & Hammerstein from The Sound of Music I had to watch that EVERY SINGLE YEAR until 2008 (47 YEARS) AND It's a Wonderful Life...

[@TravelBlogJamie]

That’s the one 😉

[@mdiz4564]

I was very disappointed with my trip on Iona due to the very poor service levels in May 2023. It’s nice to see that things have improved? Hopefully so🤔. Another great review. Keep it going!😀

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Sorry to hear that

[@Stephthomas952]

Thankyou for my weekly break from reality, it was fab 😊 Steph x

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Thank youuuu

[@Adam_D_F]

I may have watched too many of these VLOGs now as my 7 year old wanted to know where Maffoo was! Great vlog again. Thanks

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Aw that’s funny!

[@akajasonbourne]

Ty for a top vlog series and a different take on Rotterdam staying a night on the SS R. And no I couldn't hear any snoring 😊

Thanks for tour of Burges loved every minute also your fur babies see you next trip love your blog on Iona cheers 😂

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Thank you Robert

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Loved this Jamie, we'd forgotten our day in Bruges (not edited it yet!!), so this was a lovely reminder. We adored our week on Iona and definitely want to cruise with Iona again. You and your silent disco!! Sound of music Pringles singing! That pizza looks amazing. We did self disembark and it was so easy. Totally agree, it's totally impossible to visit every venue - damn we need to go back!! We've loved this series! Enjoy Bali - cheers 🍻

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Thank you so much 😊

[@Discoveringhiddenparadies]

Very nice content❤

[@TravelBlogJamie]

👍

[@Dazalton]

Thanks Jamie for a great series! Lots of ideas for our cruise in a couple of weeks! Enjoy Bali!

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Very welcome

[@helenbramson3730]

Your vlogs are unique, so informative yet rather bonkers too. Love you, not you, but YOU XXX

[@TravelBlogJamie]

I’m totally bonkers, it’s true

[@deborahkent7151]

Ohh Jamie love your sense of humour….I like doing it by myself also…but it’s always nicer when someone else does it for you😉 keeping it clean 😉..love Mr Googly eyes ❤ crazy..x

[@TravelBlogJamie]

😉

[@NT-ol9jk]

Love this series of vlogs! I’ve always overlooked this cruise before but you’ve sold the itinerary to me 😁Bruges looks so pretty!

[@TravelBlogJamie]

It really is a fun itinerary

[@lindaedge6674]

What a great last vlog on Iona x love Brugge and that silent not ha disco , say hi to maffoo

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Will do ❤️

[@SusanBaker-my7pl]

Thanks for another great series Jamie - lots of interesting ideas for when we do this cruise in December. 😊

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Very welcome

[@suzanneobrien5279]

What a great trip - I really fancy this time of year, seeing how uncrowded everywhere was. Its just the potential rough seas that put me off 🤢 Your rat babies are gorgeous - they're much maligned, but make wonderful pet. Ps. All those drinks you were plied with by seasoned subscribers probably kept your bar tab down 😉

[@TravelBlogJamie]

It helped but my bar bill always low

[@Eagesss123]

We alomst gave Bruges a miss in October on iona... Glad we didnt! What a beautiful place.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

It is indeed beautiful

[@Bessie66]

Jamie - subtitles and voice over don’t always match - quite funny content in itself 😂 Thankyou for a fab video x

[@TravelBlogJamie]

True - I don’t do the subtitles!

[@kittenspy]

Great series. Makes me want to do it all again. Had such a great time onboard, it was lovely to meet you, Dan, Kai, Gill and so many others from the chat group. Think I’d even contemplate a solo cruise in the future now if need be.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

You’re never solo in a solo cruise, that’s for sure!

[@kittenspy]

@@TravelBlogJamie love that!

[@Judith-hk7if]

Oh Jamie, just love your channel! Have been following you for quite some time - thank you sooooo much for your British humour! A big smile from continental European Judith! Hope to meet you some time in person! Cheers!!

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Thank you so much continental Judith ❤️❤️❤️

[@wendyjones2351]

Hi Jamie i absolutely love your videos you have inspired me to go on my second cruise this time on Iona to the fjords in may thank you for all of your fantastic information xx

[@TravelBlogJamie]

You’re very welcome

[@holidayhev]

Brilliant and in depth video. We are booked on Iona next June for Fjords. We have 3 cruises booked now between May 2024 and June 2025! Think I have a problem already…..😂🚢

[@TravelBlogJamie]

A good but expensive problem 😆😆😆

[@NamyDoesCruising]

We can’t wait to go to Bruges soon!! How late did you leave it to pack?! You certainly like living on the edge don’t ya Uncle Jamie!? 😂 Your babies are so freaking cute!

[@TravelBlogJamie]

🙏🙏🙏

[@stuartbrodie9150]

Hi Jamie. Massive fan. Love your recent P&O sailing videos. Looks like you had the best time on Arvia, Azura and Iona. Pity about the Maleth saga. Just wanted to mention the 20% off drinks promo P&O are running. You’ve twice suggested this offer is combinable with Peninsular Club discounts. This isn’t accurate. Just incase anyone watching thought it might be. Can’t wait to see your Bali videos. Have fun.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

👍👍

[@Bessie66]

Hubby and I reminisced about Bruges tonight - I bought a ceramic baking dish and he dropped it on the way home in the UK not far from home 🤬🤣 still married 34 years later so well forgiven!

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Ha 😆

[@juliamartin6004]

Sound of music lol g8 video again

[@TravelBlogJamie]

🙏

[@KeithWUK]

I gave Bruges a miss because of the weather! Made up for it by sitting in the sun on my balcony in the afternoon with my sunnies on! Back there in May and definitely doing a canal boat ride!

[@TravelBlogJamie]

👍

[@user-de5vo9qh5j]

Hello, Jamie from Dublin.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

👋

[@ryanharris4964]

Rotterdam is amazing place to be

[@TravelBlogJamie]

It’s a fab city isn’t it

[@SkyJones-fz9vi]

Sound of music and Do Re Mi

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Not quite!

[@rapidman1376]

I gave Bruges a miss on my cruise, when i looked out of my balcony the rain was bouncing of the road 6inches. Hopefully next time.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

The sun always comes out for me lol 😆

Really enjoyed watching this! At least you got some dry weather in the end. How long was the walk from the coach drop off to the centre of Brugge please😊

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Literally 10 mins

Night time nibbles 😂😂

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Nom nom

[@SherwoodRobyn]

Fabulous video as always! Me and my Mum joined you for your cruise this afternoon :) Is there a Patreon level for a meet and greet with your ratties? I'd be all over that, they're so sweet! Would love to run into you on a cruise one day, hint, we're going on Arvia on the 15th September this year for Mum's 70th :)

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Haha! No tatties meet and greet I’m afraid as that would mean coming to my home - he he

[@joycesmith8354]

Love Iona, came off her the week before you boarded. Any plans for any other P&O ships.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

A few, yes!

[@daveamey7272]
