Going On A P&O Iona Cruise? But how much does a P&O Iona Cruise REALLY Cost? Let us show you in this P&O Iona hints and tips video.
We recently took an amazing cruise on the stunning P&O Cruises P&O Iona. It was the P&O Iona Northern European Cruise and was advertised as costing £429 per person, but how much did ithe cruise REALLY cost us?
The P&O Cruises P&O Iona Cruise Ship is a beautiful ship, currently the eleventh largest cruise ship in the world, and we saw the P&O Iona Cruise to Northern Europe advertised in our travel agents at £429 per person.
As you probably know with cruise ships, the advertised cost of the cruise is just the starting point, so how much did we ACTUALLY pay for the week on this European Cruise onboard the P&O Cruises, P&O Iona Cruise Ship?
This price of £429 was just the basic price and didn't include a drinks package, internet, speciality dining or anything else, so what did it cost all together when we take all of that into account? We take a look to see if it was worth not taking the P&O Cruises Drinks Package.
In this video, we take you through our planning for the cruise on board the P&O Iona, what we paid for in advance of boarding and then we talk through how much we spent day by day.
Without wanting to give away the amount of how much this P&O Iona Cruise cost us here, we must say that the final total really shocked us. Make sure you watch to the end to find out.
In this P&O Iona Cruise video, we take a look to see if the Drinks package was really worth it? We didn't buy the drinks package on this Northern European Cruise on the P&O Iona, but did we end up spending more or less on drinks than if we had have bought the P&O drinks package? Make sure you watch this P&O Iona cruise ship vlog to the end to find out.
We also take a look at how much the P&O Iona excursions cost that we went on, which restaurants were charged for and go into fine detail in every penny we spent on board the P&O Iona on this Northern Europe Cruise with P&O Cruises.
We hope this video will help you if you're planning on cruising on the beautiful P&O Iona, and hopefully should help you able to make a more realistic budget for your time on the ship and for the cruise over all.

If you haven't seen already, we have a number of P&O Iona vlogs already on this channel. We have some P&O Iona Northern Europe Cruise Diaries, where we take you through our entire cruise for the week. We also have a very comprehensive P&O Iona ship guide video, where we explain almost everything there is to know on board the ship. This P&O Iona ship guide takes a look at all of the bars, the restaurants, which food is included, the facilities, the entertainment and much more.
We aim to release some more P&O Iona content soon too, with shorter videos, such as, Is The Limelight Club Really Worth The Money, was the Nicole Scherzinger experience, Shhh! actually any good and more.

⭐ About Postcard & A Pint:
Welcome to the official Postcard & A Pint KZbin channel.
Postcard & A Pint was thought up by my partner, Rachel & myself, Wills one day while taking our daily 1 hour exercise during the lockdown of 2020. All of a sudden, we were spending more time together, not working 6 or 7 days a week in the arts industry, and binge watching travel programs, and we were actually really enjoying it, and it made us re-evaluate what was important in life for us. Now back to working 6 or 7 days a week again, with very little time off, our happy time is getting out there on our brief times off together and making short travel videos that we are now sharing with you. It's just a bit of fun, and great for our sanity. Your support is hugely appreciated x

Just got off Iona, best weeks holiday weve ever had, cost wise, £749 each for fare, £80 for night in Premier Inn Gosport, we spent approx £525 o excursions, drink, night in Limelight club extra cost, Beach House extra for meal, £140 for Gin experience which was brill. We booked Stavanger Fyord trip, 3 half hours, in Kiosk on the quay, half what PO wanted, for 2 £117, giftshop. We thought great value and wonderful memories. Biggest tip, dont book excursion thru PO, do it when you arrive on land in port, so much cheaper, happy sailing!

Really enjoyed this guys, always interesting to see how much different types of travel cost. Liked that you included everything including your travel costs down to Southampton. There are always so many little things that cost on holiday, even with an all inclusive, you can end up spending a lot more than intended. We are off to mallorca on our jollies in a few weeks, and we are going to try to use public transport to the start points of our hikes, as the taxis are extortionate 😬. Feel like we need postcard and a pint with us in spirit, as you guys are so organised with stuff like that!😂🙌. Wish us luck! Fab video as always. Have a good week Shell and Pete 😊👍

Always interesting to see how much different types of travel costs, this cruise was definitely good value. I think part of the secret of more budget friendly cruising is to do it in the off season, I would assume to sail on the Iona in May, June, July, August and September costs a fair bit more.

A fiver to smell good wills? Please don't say it was Lynx haha! Like you mentioned about the fancy restaurant, it was a celebration for the both of you and why not? you're on holiday, you should be spoiling yourselves and enjoying some lovely wine with your food!

That was fascinating. It really isn't that expensive, but when I did the conversion to our dinero it came to be almost exactly AUD$4000. 😬 I'm making that face now when I double it for a fam. 😁 I looked up a random 7 day cruise from Melbourne going to such exotic locations as Adelaide, Port Lincoln and Kangaroo Island. And for a fam of 4 the base price is $2500 (GBP1300). To be fair you cabin looked better. I think ours would be in a lower deck hammock with a toilet bucket, an orange (to prevent the scurvy) and a dram of rum. 😁🏴‍☠🦜🍺 You have to get yourselves over to SE Asia for a holiday. It is so cheap. I spreadsheeted up our basic costs including airfares (inc. domestic flights in Vietnam), accommodation, pet boarding ($2000 😸🐶 😬) , and it came to $5600 (GBP2900). I haven't included food and other daily expenses in that but one meal cost us $5 once. This was for 28 days. Can you believe our biggest single expense was boarding the pets? 😂 They daily rate for the dog was more than the average we spent on accommodation per day in Vietnam for the whole fam. 😂 Stuff coming to Australia. Too bloody expensive. Cheaper for you to get to Asia. They do cruises around Asia too. Do it, do it, do it. 😂

Totally loving that the dog got the luxury accommodation!!! Yes, the far east is top of our list when we can do this full time. We quite fancy a 6 weeks stay in Thailand to start us off. I've looked at prices and accommodation is insanely cheap! I think it works out £18 per night for 6 weeks in a lovely modern 1 bed apartment, all bills in with gym and pool! We'd then use that as a base to travel around. If you're disciplined and happy with what the cruise Fayre offers, the P&O U.K. are good value. Cheers for watching, now go tune down the dogs cashmere bed! Cheers 🍻

@@PostcardAndAPint Ooh yeah, Thailand would be tops! I would absolutely love some P&P vids from Thailand. The dog's boarding was the cheapest we could find and per night it was still more expensive than ours in Vietnam. That cat's boarding was about the same as our cheapest accommodation. 😂

Am going on the Iona in September to Norway. So have have only paid for the cruise, none of the extras. Cost of the cruise was £1800, and that's a single person rate too. Going to be an easy £3000 by the end of it all I expect, as I want to get the drinks package, which will be the Alcohol Free package and pay for a couple of day trips they have at two of the ports. Will have about £400 cash in spending when on shore and maybe another £400 cash to pay off the cruise card account at the end.

You got to upgrade that Apple 2E Wills. It keeps crashing.

Haha, are you referring to the sound going wrong? Was nothing to do with the computer, it was the mic that we plug into the phone. We’ve had loads of trouble with it recently 😂

A week long cruise for under 2200£ is a great deal.

Is the internet package worth buying - we were on the Norwegian Jewel back in February and the internet cost a fortune and was absolute rubbish

The Iona has starlink now so we found we could get on everywhere on the ship. Next time we cruise P&O we'd probably buy 1 package, use data and wifi in port and take it in turns to log our phones on on board. Cheers for watching 🍻

It seems like a reasonable price, but £5 for a deodorant is disgraceful exploitation of their monopoly. 😮 I'm the 🎩 , what are you?😊 Like deployed 👍

Thank you so much. We tried! I'm sure we probably kissed a few bits and bobs, but hopefully it will help future P&O travellers. We loved our time on this trip, rain and all!!! Cheers 🍻
