Our First Time on Fred Olsen… & It Didn’t Quite Go to Plan | Embarkation Day

Description from YouTube

We’re sailing Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines Balmoral for the very first time! In this Cruise Vlog, we join the ship in Southampton England for embarkation day — which didn’t go entirely to plan — before heading off on our first Fred Olsen cruise. Onboard, we explore Balmoral’s public areas, from Bookmark Cafe, to the Morning Light Pub, Observatory Bar, promenade deck, and pools, . We'll let you know if we liked the entertainment in the Neptune lounge, and what we thought of the food in the main dining rooms (Ballindalloch, and Spey), giving you our honest first impressions of this classic cruise ship. This sailing takes us to Zeebrugge (replacing Antwerp due to the delayed departure) and Rouen, with plenty of relaxing and fun moments onboard. If you’re researching Fred. Olsen cruises, Balmoral ship tours, or cruise itineraries from Southampton, this video is packed with insight and inspiration.
