P&O Winter 2020 - 2021

#1

Post by Gill W »

I expect everyone has had their email advising us that 2020-2021 winter season will be released next month.

Iona will be doing Canary Islands, Spain and Portugal, plus northern Europe including Hamburg. If there's a cruise going south around the time of my birthday in mid March, I'd be interested as it would be a good chance to try Iona.

Gill, I am trying to persuade my wife that Iona really won't be too big and is worth trying for a Canaries trip around the same time.

We've got other plans for that period but it's good to see Iona getting further afield.

If I book, it will be going from one extreme to another - I'm on little Boudicca in March 2020, then my next cruise would be on Iona.

Linda, takes no such persuasion. We may be looking at a back to back in Feb/March as long as there are different itineraries.

Happy to consider a B2B but not if the other cruise is Bruges, Rotterdam and Hamburg.

I am hoping for one to the Canaries and one round Iberia. Soon see.

If it's anything like Britannia you'll need your walking boots to get around. I felt like I had walked about 30 miles that week. I needed binoculars to see the end of the corridor. ;)

Been on Britannia and RCI's Navigator which is a similar size, and not had any problems, but I accept that on both ships the accessible cabins are near the lifts so we rarely trudge the corridors.

That would suit me as well, all I need to do now is persuade Pauline. :?

I’d like to try Iona, but apart from the fact we are skipping cruises this year - except for a quick weekend fix on QM2 - we don’t want to go to the Fjords again just yet, and don’t really like the Canaries. I’m sure we'll try her eventually.
