Creator's Key Takeaways

I will do a full cabin Tour on our Channel but for now I'll give you a quick look around

this costs £25 per couple for an hour's exclusive use and in our opinion is very good value

we were quite glad to get a chance to warm up after walking around Liverpool this morning

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book secure parking near the cruise terminal for convenience and cost savings
Try the thermal suite for a warm-up on cold days, especially if delayed by weather

YouTube Video Description

Part 1 of our 2024/25 Christmas and New year cruise from Liverpool to Madeira, Canary Islands and Lisbon, onboard Fred Olsen Bolette. We take a stormy drive to Liverpool, where we board the Bolette. We explore some of the ship, admire the Christmas decorations, eat at the Bloomsbury main dining room, and the Poolside, have drinks at most of the bars, including trying Cocktails of the day. Our departure was delayed for a day due to bad weather, so we explore some of Liverpool's historic dock area, then visit the thermal suite back on board, before finally departing a very wet and windy Liverpool waterfront, around midnight, and head for our first port of call, Madeira.
