Two weeks, Two cruises, Fred Olsen Vs MSC

Well its that time of the year again, our annual conference has come around and we are all off on Fred Olsen for our annual conference , its a tough life !! We are all on The Balmoral for three nights to Bruges , this will be possibly my fifth time going over to Bruges so I will not be getting off !! I am a little excited (and this may seem sad) to be going on a galley tour , something we do not get to see too often. So watch this space and I will try and format my pictures for you all to see.

There will be lots of reviews on this and maybe some interesting pictures too !

The fun never stops, after this I then go on my own holiday (long awaited) on MSC Fantasia, this particular cruise line gets grief from some people so I am going with a very open mind , and a fat notebook , much to hubby’s disgust !! I want to see for myself if some of the complaints are warranted, or just a case of people expecting too much , and in my opinion just being too British. One of the major complaints always seems to be about the announcements being made in eight languages, and English being one of the last. This is an Italian cruise line sailing mostly from the Mediterranean, it will attract passengers from all over Europe and i would expect them to be sensitive to this.

Of course this is all before I have ctually been on board, so there will be a follow up report

I wish everybody a very merry (and safe) Christmas, with blessings and good tidings for 2016. It has been a very busy year in our household , new baby arriving, sons 21st , I have an appointment with a sun lounger and a kindle !!

Best wishes
