I am being asked to be fair and honest,so i will.First let me say that this was not our first cruise with fred olsen but it is very likely our last.I am sorry to have to say that the shows while well presented where let down by the choice of songs.You have to have the vocal range to sing certain songs and they did not have it.Ten out of ten for effort,four out of ten for choice .Service was not as good and we,and many others,found ourselfs having to move our own used dishes so we could contiue our meal.Five out of ten for service.The library was nothing short of a dormitory.Why do people think others are interested in their snoring contest? The ship is in dire need of a major overhaul decor wise,you can not get away with it for much longer fred.I could go on but i may stand accused of nit picking, so let me tell you what really decided it for me.My wife and i caught the cough that was going around the ship,and it was a bad one.It caused us to lose sleep,so as we were at sea,we decided to try and rest in our cabin.That was made impossible because the engineering dept decided to renew welds to the bulkhead next door to our cabin and it went on from early morning to after 7.30pm.I went to reception and infomed them of the situation and recieved the reply we will look into it!! Nothing happened.We are now on our last day at sea and could not wait to get of.The hammering and the grinding and the welding continued all of the last day and when i complained about it i was asked if i would like to fill in one of their complaints forms.Now keep in mind that i have had very little sleep for the last four days,i restrained myself from telling him what he could do with it.Nobody had the decency to contact us at all.No,I WILL NOT SAIL WITH THEM AGAIN.
