P&O Room Service Breakfast Menu: What You Can Order to Your Cabin
Room service breakfast is one of the easiest ways to enjoy a quiet morning on P&O Iona. Whether you’re getting ready for an early shore excursion, watching the ship arrive in port, or simply prefer breakfast on your balcony, the continental breakfast service offers a convenient alternative to visiting the buffet.
The photos below show the current breakfast order card used onboard, along with an example of a breakfast delivered to a guest’s cabin. The menu features a selection of pastries, cereals, fruit, yogurt, and juices, while breakfast is delivered during a pre-selected time slot.

According to the breakfast order card, a £2.50 delivery charge applies on P&O Iona and Arvia.

Passenger Experience
One recent guest shared that breakfast arrived within the selected delivery window after the ship had arrived in port.
They also noted that they were unable to request additional items such as extra toast beyond the selections listed on the breakfast order card. While onboard procedures can change over time, it is generally best to order directly from the available menu options.
Is Room Service Breakfast Worth It?
For many cruisers, the convenience alone makes room service breakfast worthwhile.
Instead of heading to the buffet first thing in the morning, guests can enjoy breakfast while relaxing in their cabin, preparing for the day, or taking in the ocean views from their balcony.
Although the selection is more limited than the ship’s buffet restaurants, it covers the essentials with pastries, fruit, cereals, yogurt, and juices, making it an excellent option for a light breakfast.

- Complete your breakfast card before 10:00 PM.

- Review the menu carefully before submitting your order.
- Remember that a delivery charge applies on P&O Iona and Arvia.
- If you have food allergies or dietary concerns, speak with a member of the onboard dining team, as noted on the breakfast order card.
