P&O Iona vegan staycation surprise: amazing plantbased options (part 2)

If the first part of my food review from P&O Cruises’ newest XL class ship Iona didn’t convince you – perhaps the last three days of my week, and the food I had, will. So easy to be vegan onboard this great ship! I cannot wait to be back on P&O – and indeed have a couple of bookings already.

If you are not from the UK and are unfamiliar with the brand, P&O are British cruise line, serving pretty much exclusively British guests but they are owned by the Carnival Cruise Line Corporation. Yet, big cousins Carnival and Princess do NOT cater to the level that P&O UK does. For US readers, the only agent that I know who sells P&O in the US is VacationsToGo. Do be aware that while the fare might seem high, it does include all the tips, port fees and taxes and drink pricing is affordable by comparison.

Can you cruise vegan on Virgin Voyages: Scarlet Lady food review

Earlier in 2020 Virgin Voyages released some menu teasers from their first ship, the Scarlet Lady (see my last post). That made vegan cruisers wonder about actual meal provision onboard. But worry not, Jenni from CruiseMummy blog has kindly reviewed Scarlet Lady’s vegan offering during a ship visit day. See how Jenni got on in this kind guest post of hers. The menus are all very quirky and different. See for yourself if Virgin Voyages and their sister ships Valiant and Scarlet Lady are for you. Vegan options they do provide, but what do you think of the options available?

Vegan food on Marella Cruises: how does the Explorer cater?

Looking for your first cruise as a vegan? You should really look at Marella Cruises. Apart from an all-vegan charter cruise I did in 2018, I have never had it as easy as I did on my Marella Explorer cruise. Check out the vegan food menu options… in the dining room, buffet and specialty restaurants. I was so impressed wiht my options, as two years previous our experience onboard DIscovery 2 wasn’t that great. But just like UK high street has changed and improved their offering, so has Marella Cruises. See how well they cater these days!

Can you cruise vegan on Princess Cruises (Series): Crown Princess

Ever wondered how it is to sail vegan on Princess Cruises? It varies from one ship to another, as this review from Crown Princess makes it evident. We previously had a great experience onboard Royal Princess as their main dining room was excellent for vegan meal requests – buffet not so. But how did older sister Crown Princess fare? Why have I given them my very own ‘Vegancruiser Award’ for catering? Check out this review!
