Creator's Key Takeaways

This is not a bad way to start the holidays. To be honest, I don't think we're going to get much opportunity to be in the hot tub

We've got a really generous pour this time, so up to now, very happy.

What a great first day. Coming up in the next video, we have 2 days at sea.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take your CPS thing out the window so people don't break in to find your address.
Book the thermal suite, sort the Wi-Fi, and tell them what day you want to do afternoon tea early on.

YouTube Video Description

Join us as we embark on a 10-day Fred. Olsen Bolette Norwegian Fjords cruise and share our honest first impressions of life on board! Our adventure begins in Liverpool, where we drop our car off with CPS Parking at Liverpool Cruise Terminal (£180 for 10 days... ouch!) before making our way to the terminal to board Bolette. We take you through the embarkation process, show you around the ship on day one, enjoy our first meal on board, sample the included wine package, relax in the hot tubs, complete the muster drill, experience sail away from Liverpool, enjoy our first dinner in the main dining room and finish the evening with one of the onboard shows. In this vlog we'll share our honest first impressions of Fred. Olsen Bolette and whether this cruise feels like the right fit for us. 🚢 Cruise: Fred. Olsen Bolette 📍 Itinerary: Norwegian Fjords 📅 Duration: 10 Days ⚓ Departure Port: Liverpool Cruise Terminal This is Episode 1 of our full Fred. Olsen Bolette cruise series. Over the coming videos we'll be answering questions such as: • What are sea days really like on Bolette? • Is there enough to do onboard? • Are the paid experiences worth the extra cost? • What's the food like in the restaurants and buffet? • Is the drinks package worth it? • What are the Norwegian Fjords ports like? • Is Fred. Olsen a good cruise line for first-time guests? • Would we sail with Fred. Olsen again? If you're researching a Fred. Olsen cruise, considering Bolette, or simply love cruise vlogs, we'd love to have you along for the journey. 👍 If you enjoy the video, please give it a like. 🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications so you don't miss the rest of the cruise series. #FredOlsen #Bolette #NorwegianFjords #CruiseVlog #EmbarkationDay #CruiseReview #LiverpoolCruiseTerminal #FredOlsenBolette #NorwegianFjordsCruise #Cruising 0:00 - 01:34 Introduction 01:34 - 03:39 CPS Parking 03:39 - 05:18 Check in/Boarding 05:18 - 08:37 First Impressions 08:37 - 09:34 Muster 09:34 - 12:22 Hot tub and Sailaway 12:22 - 14:36 Prom Deck Stroll 14:36 - 18:52 Main Dining Room Dinner 18:52 - 19:44 Continuing exploring 19:44 -
