You probably have to be from London to find that title amusing... What is not amusing is the lack of drawers in cabins on the Iona - and presumably the new Arvia. Who thinks of these names? That one sounds like an insurance company. Desperate to get away I've been looking at cruises to the Canaries later this year and basically the choices are the Iona or the Arvia. OK then, let's study the videos peeps have put on You Tube showing us the cabins...
No drawers! Really. There are shelves in the wardrobe, shelves in the looks-rather-nice bathroom then silly narrow shelves in the main part of the cabin and silly little shelves by the bed. Not even bedside drawers. Where does the Gideon bible go?
Leaving aside where your...er, drawers go, what about all the small stuff that has to go in drawers? Have they seen how much kit is required to put my hair up so I don't have to pay ludicrous amounts of money to the Glamour Nazis? Chargers, pens, medication, useful see-through bag of useful things, endless bits of paper and daily news, sock knitting... That stuff doesn't fit on shelves.
It seems like a minor thing but it puts me right off going on these ships.
