My Last Minute Iona Cruise Review - Bumped Twice, Saved by P&O
October 31, 2025

Princess bumped me. MSC bumped me. P&O said “fine — but it’s Iona.”
So I did the only sensible thing a man with zero options does: I boarded a last-minute 48-hour emergency cruise and went to find out what actually happens on a tiny “taster”, expecting 90% booze and 10% cruise.
This isn’t a usual full-fat Cruisetube review — it’s a blow-by-blow of a hastily booked two-nighter: embarkation chaos, queue drama, buffet politics, bizarre entertainment, dining shenanigans, prom-deck laps, gym time, and a few genuinely weird moments that only happen at sea. I also walk the ship, chat to crew, and try very hard not to lose my mind.
No spoilers here — watch for the laughs, the gripes, and the bits you’d only see on a rushed, nowhere-going little cruise. If you’ve ever been bumped, rebooked, or ended up on a trip you didn’t want — this one’s for you.
