Loved every minute
 
Reviewed By: Pearson, Tewkesbury on 6th Sep 2008
Cruise Line: Fred. Olsen Cruises Times cruised before: 0
Cruise Ship: Black Watch Sailed: August, 2008
Destination: Baltic Age: 56-65
Cabin: Outside
We loved the whole experience - the staff were helpful and friendly. The choice and quality of food was extremely good. Our cabin was very clean and comfortable. The entertainment was good although we would have liked the lido disco to have started a bit earlier in the evening! The excursions we went on were generally very good and well organised but the Ghent one was rather rushed due to the bad weather which had delayed the ship arriving in port. The Black Watch is a nice sized ship - not too big or impersonal but roomy enough to offer plenty of choice as to bars, lounges and activities. We liked the spacious gym which we used every day. You can work off the excess calories while gazing out to sea. Overall, as first time cruisers, we were very impressed by Fred Olsen and would definitely come back.
Quality of Food5
Main restaurant - fish, salads and fruit. Didnt eat many of the cakes but they looked amazing.
Entertainment5
Best - Black Watch dancers, Max Plum - comedian and Julie Scott - fantastic singer.

Best - St Petersburg Peterhof/ Hermitage and Panoramic tour Least favourite - Ghent
