Welcome to Day 1 of our Fred. Olsen Balmoral cruise 🚒 This was our first time sailing with Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines and we were excited to try out a new cruise line. Unfortunately our embarkation was delayed due to an outbreak of gastrointestinal illness onboard, but we still made the most of our day. In this video we share our full embarkation day experience, what happened during the delay, and our first impressions of Balmoral once we finally got onboard. Join us as we begin a brand new cruise adventure on a new cruise line! πŸ‘‰ Don’t forget to like and subscribe to follow the rest of the series. #fredolsen #balmoral #cruise Find us on social media - Instagram - www.instragram.com/sistersontheseas Facebook - www.facebook.com/sistersontheseas Our Blog - www.sistersontheseas.com For this video, we were kindly gifted LEVEL8 suitcases, if you'd like to order your own you can do that here - https://amzn.to/3OMRMha
