Creator's Key Takeaways
The beds are so so comfortable in this cabin. They're lovely. I'd say the mattress is fairly firm, but when you sit on it, you do sort of sink into it.
I cannot fault Fred Olsson for how lovely and clean this cabin has been. And I want to say a massive, massive big thank you to Rowena, our cabin steward.
It really is the lack of plug sockets. We found two plug sockets on here. There was um a charging point as well for you to plug your chargers into.
Yes, definitely. It's been an absolutely lovely cabin to stay in. If if you're thinking of a Fred Olson cruise, you know, there are lots of different sorts of cabin options.
