NORWAY P&O IONA CRUISE - OLDEN • The Famous Sail Away & Olive Grove!

#Norwaycruise #cruisevlogs #familytravel
Welcome to Olden Part 2! This is the second part of our stay in Olden where we watch the famous Olden sail away. It was lovely to see the residents of Olden wave us off with flags and music and I actually felt quite emotional at the end! (Although I am one to cry at sad films and adverts!)

We ended a fabulous day trying out the delicious food at The Olive Grove. Most of the food here is included or has a very small upcharge. Only available to book once onboard the ship or you may be able to turn up on the day you want to get a table although this restaurant is very popular and gets booked up very quickly so I would recommend booking beforehand if possible.

We had starters of a Meze platter which the waiter brought out as he thought we would like it, the trio of tapas and a salad. If there's anything you don't like you are able to swap it out if you ask. We don't like calamari so swapped this for halloumi.
We then had pizzas and lasagne for our main course. The boys all said the pizza was excellent and they enjoyed the lasagna they shared, however as nice as the lasagna was I felt it was slightly disapointing. Not as nice as the reviews had hyped it up to be, but this is just my opinion. Everyone's taste are different aren't they 😊
Desserts were very nice, my lemon tart was sueperb! Very tangy but not too overpowering... just the right amount of tang! 😂 Mike and Spencer had the Tiramisu and they both said it was very nice, very creamy. Charlie had the flourless hazelnut chocolate cake which he really liked, he's a big lover of chocolate desserts so went down well with him. It did have a very different texture to a 'normal' chocolate cake but still good!
I'm glad we got to try The Olive Grove and would definitely go again, the service from the waiters was out of this world. They told us stories of their time on board different ships over the years and didn't try to rush us out after we'd eaten. Mario and Isaac were our servers, we made sure to fill in a special mention card in for them at reception. 😊 I would however, try something different next time, we heard the peri peri chicken is very tasty so might give that a try next time.

We hope you like the 2nd part of our Olden Adventure! If you haven't already please consider subscribing to see more of our Norway Vlogs and all our future travels we have planned.
