Fantastic cruise to South America
Mrs Beryl Corby | March 22, 2018 | Fred Olsen Cruise Lines | Balmoral
We have just returned to the UK after a great cruise to South America on the Balmoral. The ship was wonderful, no complaints whatsoever. Entertainment was excellent, food was good, and crew ( cabin staff , entertainment team and dining room staff )were really friendly and efficient. I attended the craft class which was given by two fabulous women ( Christine and Hillary ), and the things we made were absolutely lovely. The Captain kept us informed about weather and sea conditions every day, and always made us smile with his light-hearted comments. Some of the ports were better than others, but one expects that nowadays, but the port talks gave everyone the good and bad with honest coverage, so one knew what to avoid.
All things considered .. a good cruise.
