Accommodation Announced
Iona's accommodation has been announced today - https://www.pocruises.com/cruise-ships/iona/
One new feature being the "Conservatory Mini-suite cabin" - sounds an interesting idea but not sure how practical it will be.
(Interesting turn of phrase "mini-suite cabin". I thought that they were called staterooms now - if they were not suites!!)

Re: Accommodation Announced

Re: Accommodation Announced
That's what I was thinking screwy.
More Juliet balconies that usable ones.
Having said that, I quite like what I've seen so far.
My main concern is the size of it and the volume of passengers.

Empty vessels .. and all that

Re: Accommodation Announced
Looking at the deck plans for Costa's offering there appears to be some quite large balconies which no doubt will come at a price!
Also I have just noticed on the Costa ship that they look to have the Conservatory mini-suite cabins

Re: Accommodation Announced
I think they look great and will no doubt be very popular, probably more so than full suites. We’d book one!

Re: Accommodation Announced
Just comparing the deck plans of quantum OTS with AIDAnova, both built by Meyer Werth at Papenberg and having a similar beam, and it looks as though Iona will have much smaller cabins and balconies than Quantum.

Re: Accommodation Announced
It looks lovely. I like the idea of a conservatory but the ship is too big for us. I really wouldn't like to be on a ship with so many passengers. Why doesn't someone build the perfect ship for me. A smaller version of this which sails to and from Liverpool to anywhere in the world I want. Is that really too much to ask.
