Disappointing Cruise
Neil Smith | January 13, 2023 | Fred Olsen Cruise Lines | Borealis
This cruise should never have left the UK as it already had had problems with Nora-Virus on its previous cruise. Despite it having had a deep clean in 3 hours? I had 5 days in isolation due to serious Gastroenteritis. The itinerary was changed to exclude Lanzarote, also Lisbon was not possible due to a docks strike. Rough sailing in the Bay of Biscay, also off the Cornish coast, I think the wrong time of year for this destination. The car parking at Liverpool was disgraceful using an old disused timber yard in an out of town location which was nigh impossible to locate. Not good I’m afraid!
We will not be sailing again with Olson’s in particular from Liverpool.
Sorry to sound somewhat negative in this review but that virus knocked me for a six, & how you deep clean a ship in 3 hours I will never know.
