The bird show….. 😂😂, looked like a fever dream! Great vlog boys ❤

[@TomandDomTravel]

Thanks for watching. It was very strange

[@Travellifewithlucy]

Ah I love an Iona vlog! I miss The Quays! The bird show has to be one of the weirdest cruise entertainment I've seen🤣Great video guys 😄

[@TomandDomTravel]

Thank you. We are glad it’s not just us who think so

[@KateS1172]

The Iona looks quite nice👍

[@TomandDomTravel]

She is a lovely ship and kept in good shape but does feel big

[@KeithWUK]

Been waiting for this series! Had such a fun week on Iona in Feb that I’ve only gone and booked it for 2025! Hopefully get to Hamburg next time!

[@TomandDomTravel]

Thank you so much. Fingers crossed 🤞

[@sistersontheseas]

It makes such a difference getting onboard earlier, can’t believe you packed so much into your embarkation day!

[@TomandDomTravel]

Of course we are professionals 🤣

[@margaretbond21]

Loved the Sunset Bar on Arvia, Iona looks similar.

[@TomandDomTravel]

Thanks for watching. Yes they are very similar. No Swim up bar on Iona though

[@wadewave4323]

So nice to see new content. Will be in England later this month for my British Isles cruise on Caribbean Princess

[@TomandDomTravel]

Thank you for watching. Which port are you most looking forward to

[@wadewave4323]

@@TomandDomTravel Probably Holyhead and Edinburgh

[@KirstyG64]

We got foccacia on azura too! Took me by surprise. Usually only get the standard white or brown rolls.

[@TomandDomTravel]

We do love a bit of variety. Costa bread has been a favourite of ours

[@PK-hc8wu]

The official "thoroughly enjoyed it" count: IIIII IIIII IIIII IIIII IIIII III

[@TomandDomTravel]

🤣🤣🤣 we must have thoroughly enjoyed it

[@davidb604]

We also failed to book the 710 club however we discovered that if you turn up half an hour or so before a show there's a stand-by line and about ten minutes pre-show-time they let people in without a booking. We did this several times and got in every time.

[@TomandDomTravel]

Thanks for watching. Great tip

[@andrewmorris9946]

It be nice if Iona could regularly switch out Hamburg for Bremerhaven or somewhere else as they do the Hamburg/Zeebrugge/Rotterdam cruise too often.

[@TomandDomTravel]

We agree, although we enjoy Hamburg it was really nice to have a change.

[@marecianoble5826]

Great vlog . Can I just ask is the venue where pulse is ,no children after 11 .

[@TomandDomTravel]

Thank you!! 🤩 Technically yes. They did announce it over the mic. It was often ignored though

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Omg - what dates were you there? I think you were on the same cruise as us!! How did we not see you!! Our cruise was Feb 9th. Great video. Loving this . 🍻

[@TomandDomTravel]

Oh wow!! Yes it was the same cruise. Can’t believe we have cruised together and not known

[@PostcardAndAPint]

@@TomandDomTravel man!!! We are so going to go though all out Iona vids now to see if we captured you!!

[@TomandDomTravel]

We could be in the background somewhere. We will keep a look out for you as we are editing our series

[@janiceelsdon9883]

The meringue was delicious, (I had it on Azura earlier in the year) but Pavlova it was not!!

[@TomandDomTravel]

Thanks for watching! Good to know

[@CommodoreSteve]

Another great review guys.... :) Agreed that bl*ody bird show is just WIERD lol !!!!!! Just a small point... you mentioned you would not accept an upgrade to a deck 8 cabin.... Don't shoot me if I'm incorrect, but my understanding is if you tick the box to upgrade you can not then refuse the upgrade and keep your original cabin... ?

[@TomandDomTravel]

Thanks for watching Steve. Yes you are correct pre boarding.

[@wendybowis6932]

Yeah I agree Rise is weird 😂

[@TomandDomTravel]

All very strange
