    They are referred to as floating Butlins in the travel trade. I much prefer the old small cruise ships with wooden panelled rooms, white table cloths and a decent bar. Having mass self-service and mass organised entertainment is not my scene.

    Exactly they can die tax free of Covid, without any burden on the NHS

    It's my version of hell on earth. Crammed with people, ugly metal boxes, no where to escape to, horrible.

    I would turn them into prison ships, the inmates will appreciate the buffet, entertainment and lively bars.

    Saw these a few weeks ago when I took my wife for a little ride to Hengistbury Head. Very expensive ships to be sitting doing nothing!

    Iona Cruise Ship Highlights | P&O Cruises

    P&O have just got delivery of their largest cruise ship for the UK market.

    As the first British cruise ship to be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), Iona is our greenest, largest and most innovative ship yet. And she has a host of surprises in store. With Iona’s luminous glass-roofed SkyDome, on-board gin distillery and whole world of dining and entertainment on board, we can hardly wait to share her with you.


    We now eagerly look forward to Iona’s new maiden season in Northern Europe and Spain, Portugal and the Canary Islands...
    It ain't going anywhere just yet....

Working...
