Creator's Key Takeaways

I am very lucky today I'm being transported to the cruise terminal by none other than matu who only recently passed his driving test

Fred olon is still super traditional which I love they send your luggage tags through the mail love it

I've gone from an Ocean View cabin to this now that's some upgrade thank you Fred awon

what a Lov L day it's been what a treat to have so few people checking in and so few on board as well for a repositioning Cruise

YouTube Video Description

I am kicking off my brand new Fred Olsen vlog series with this taster - it's embarkation day on Borealis as we explore Horizon cruise terminal in Southampton where I share with you the embarkation process, the documentation you'll need, the muster process, first impressions on the ship and my cabin, embarkation day lunch, booking some great experiences for the cruise ahead, and of course, the famous sail away! It's all here and the next time I'll be showing you the whole cruise experience as well as touring and reviewing 3 types of cabins on board; my balcony suite, a premier suite and the Owner's Suite! In this vlog I also feature luggage and an organiser set gifted by level8cases which is a luxury luggage brand. I only ever showcase a product if I’ve trialled it and this one is excellent.
