Creator's Key Takeaways

The food on here is wonderful. So, that's formal night dinner done. It was excellent. Four courses. Really, really lovely food.

I've got to say that violinist was wonderful. She was really, really good. I really enjoyed it. We had a fabulous time in there.

If you're coming on Fred Olson and you're a bit concerned and think, 'God, I've got to get, you know, a ball gown and a DJ,' don't go out and buy them.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't feel pressured to buy ball gowns or heavy formal wear for Fred Olsen cruises as the dress code is a mix of formal and casual.

Dress code intensityDon't buy expensive formal wear like ball gowns; it's a mix of people dressing up and people in normal wear.
Physical contact with staff/CaptainStaff will not shake hands due to infectious disease protocols, which is noted in the daily program.
