Creator's Key Takeaways

We had a good cruise, didn't we? As you'll see from some of the vlogs when they start coming out, it was an interesting situation that we were in.

We missed the port because it was rough. It was a bit bumpy. It was a bit bumpy. I was a bit seasick on the way down which I don't normally suffer from really.

One thing I will say that that's two PO cruises we've done this year now. We did Aurora as well. They've both had the new menus on and boy oh boy. They're good. They're really good food. Quality and quantity.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Do a short Fred Olsen mystery cruise to start with if you're tempted.
โœ“Consider an ocean view cabin on Fred Olsen for good value.
โœ“Book excursions independently through the cruise line if you want to join group activities.
