Another success for the Black Watch

Reviewed By: Kissack, Douglas, Isle of Man on 28th Nov 2008
Cruise Line: Fred. Olsen Cruises Times cruised before: 3-5
Cruise Ship: Black Watch Sailed: November, 2008
Destination: Mediterranean Age: 65+
My wife and I together with a friend sailed on the Black Watch on Cruise BW 867 to the mediterranean-cruises/">Mediterranean and Adriatic. There were a number of very interesting places we had never visited before including Venice, Dubrovnik, Kotor Bari, Ravenna and Corfu. They were all well worth visiting particularly Kotor in Montenegro. This is a fascinating little fairy tale town and lies at the end of a long fjord. We were also treated to a close up of the volcano Stromboli and passage through the Straits of Messina which again was well worth seeing. On clear nights the Master invited us to the top deck and with the ships lights turned off we were given a talk on the different stars used in navigation as well as the well known constellations.
The vessel was very stable in the rough weather encountered and all on board contributed to a first class experience covering food, entertainment, tours, lectures, etc. There was also lots to do on board with games,quizzes,etc. I would recommend this vessel to anyone thinking of a cruise.
