Our sixth time on the Black Watch, and once again we had a great time, although 25 days wa a bit long. The food and entertainment were excellent, as was the weather. The drinks, especially the wine are becoming quite expensive. We haven't decided on next Christmas yet as Fred Olsen only seems to go to The Canaries or the Caribbean and we could do with a change. We also don't appreciate the stricter booking terms for Ocean's members

Comment by Imrie, Dalbeattie (22 Jan 12 12:36) about this REVIEW
I must disagree with your classification of ALL the entertainment being excellent. All was paricularly good except for BEE GEES MAGIC and ABBA MAGIC which was POOR. In their show on 60's and 70's, the Show team did a section on ABBA and this was far superior to ABBA MAGIC. Anyone wishing to see both capitals on ST MAARTEN could catch the local bus from Philipsburg to Marogot for $1.50 U.S. each way instead of the 30 Pound trip.
