Fabulous in every way you can think of from first-class food (as good as Princess) and entertainment to first-rate organisation. Value for money unbeatable. This was the smallest ship we've ever been on and we are complete converts to small ships. Give me this every time. OK the section from Vigo to Ireland was rough, but you don't go out on this route in late Oct not expecting that. We live in Cornwall so to go in and out of Falmouth was a dream.

Comment by Simpson, South Queensferry (26 Feb 12 13:59) about this REVIEW
We are sailing on the Ocean Countess in July from Greenock to Canaries. We have sailed several times with Fred Olsen on the Boudicca but this will be our first time on the Ocean Countess so we are delighted to read your excellent review and are now really looking forward to our next cruise.

I have recently booked my/second cruise on OC out of Liverpool's new terminal in May. They started work on the immigration and baggage Hall last week. Hope al is ship shape for us! Courier just delivered some of my new clothes! A very similar package to FO but slightly less formal -less DJs on formal nights but every one was very smartly dressed. You should enjoy it.
