Iona, Mediterranean
4
We went on a canaries cruise which also included Cadiz, Lisbon and Madeira. Unfortunately inclement weather and rough seas prevented us from docking at Madeira.
We have sailed to the Canaries before, so we were used to the islands. We preferred Lanzarote as it seems more natural that the rest, even though they are all man made
The embarkation at Southampton was very well organised, as we all had to conduct a pre-embarkation COVID test. Although this made the process a little more protracted, it was very reassuring.
The ship itself, IONA, was excellent. I know it is new, but the staff look to be certain to keep it that way. Constant cleaning was another reassuring factor. The food service areas were well stocked and not too busy, as the capacity of the ship seemed to have been reduced. The entertainment was first rate, with the shows and individual artistes being well worth a visit.
I am a fan of the casino, and the staff were eager to ensure you had a safe and comfortable visit . Overall, it was an excellent holiday. We will definitely travel on Iona again
