I am setting sail on Fred Olsen's Balmoral next week on a mini cruise. I have never been on Fred Olsen ship before and wonder what to expect.
I have cruised before, both on the Queen Mary 2 and the NCL Norwegian Pearl which were two very different cruising experiences. I am sure that Fred Olsen will be a different type style of cruise again. It is very difficult to find fault with the QM2, although it did become a bit tiresome dressing up every night by the end of the cruise. However, the positives far outweighed the negatives. The Pearl had both positives and negatives, and I remember thinking that the 2 compared as Beauty and the Beast.
I am expecting the Balmoral to be somewhere in the middle, with a very British feel to it. However, i have to admit that apart from this, I don't really know what to expect. Watch this space!
