  • Join me as I share some Hints and Tips about Fred Olsen's Balmoral, so you can make the most of your time onboard this unique little ship.
    In this video, I'll show you why Balmoral is ideal for cruising off the beaten track, whilst also sharing some of my favourite venues onboard such as the Observatory.
    A massive thank you to Fred Olsen for gifting me this trip!

    We love small ships, so this would be wonderful for us. I'm also dairy free, so it's nice to see the cruise line that caters to that.

      As far as I’m aware, all cruise ships can and do cater to food allergies and intolerances. You just need to let the Maitre’d know what you *can’t*eat.

      She's a wonderful little ship 🚢 Yes Fred Olsen are fantastic at food intolerances, but as Julie said other lines are good at it too!

    I go on The Balmoral in a few week to the Norwegian Fjords and the videos you have about her were very useful and has got me more excited! My first ever cruise! Thank you.

    Back from my trip to the Norwegian Fjords on Balmoral and fell in love with her. She may be an old lady buy she's a goodie!! Loved her homely feel. Thanks to your videos I took some of your tips and that added to my enjoyment of the trip. I want to get booked up again!

    Lovely video, Mate - and very helpful. Nice to see a smaller ships. (Wild horses would not get me on one of the floating apartment blocks based in Miami).

    Just watched your other vlog where you mentioned the afternoon tea was £12.00 but £13 on this one. i know its just £1 difference, I am going on a 14 night cruise with Fred Olsen and found this vlog informative , thanks

    • @CruisingWithMatthew
      @CruisingWithMatthew  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey there :) Ah sorry for the discrepancy! It's definitely £13 pounds at the moment :) Glad you found it useful and hope you have a great time!

    My husband and I were booked onto a Fred O cruise but Covid really ruined that. (Itinerary change) but I do love the look of them.
    Not this year, as I’m taking my daughter to the Caribbean, probably not next year as it’s our _big_ wedding anniversary and we have ideas. But sometime.

    • @CruisingWithMatthew

      Sorry to hear that COVID messed things up for you :( They're a fantastic line, hopefully you get to sail on them soon!

    Going on Balmoral April 2024. Well done. Great video. Very interesting. I like to tip individually so is this possible ?

    • @CruisingWithMatthew
      @CruisingWithMatthew  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you so much!
      I believe it is :) Just speak to guest services when onboard

      Did you enjoy the ship. We're going on her for the first time at the end of August. Excited to try Fred Olsen too.

    Matthew, thanks always for your tips. Lucy and I will cruise on Balmoral to Cornwall etc in May this year. Will definitely try a vegan afternoon tea for the price of 1 as my Lucy doesn’t count, of course. June

    Have they solved the leaks? This is the only ship I've been on and experienced a flood along with noyovirud

    • @CruisingWithMatthew
      @CruisingWithMatthew  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Oh dear doesn't sound like you had the best experience 😞
      We had no issues onboard!

    • @heatherzerfahs609

      I got up to go to the bathroom and the carpet squelched...rather off putting!! I'd been really ill and even my Dad was phoning on my behalf to try toget us moved incase I relapsed! Then my husband got ill so we weren't allowed to leave our drying out cabin at all. Eventually it was agreed I could walk around the deck, but not go anywhere inside on board. It was the cruise from hell.

    I was considering to book a cruise on Balmoral, but looks so boring and outdated...

    • @CruisingWithMatthew
      @CruisingWithMatthew  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Sorry to hear that! Although she's an older ship, she's fantastically maintained and we had lots of fun onboard! Not boring at all, but hope you find a ship that suits you 🚢❤️
