Creator's Key Takeaways
All in all, we thought this was decent value for what is basically a night in a hotel with full board and good evening entertainment.
We're definitely not Beatles super fans, but we really enjoyed the whole show.

We took a 1 night cruise on Fred Olsen Balmoral, from Newcastle to Rosyth. We parked at Rosyth Cruise Terminal, took a shuttlebus to Newcastle , where we boarded the ship at North Shields Cruise Terminal (Newcastle International Passenger Terminal), then took a trip up the coast back to Rosyth. We check out all meals, drinks, entertainment onboard, and the cost of the cruise, onboard spend, transfer and parking.
