We had a lovely cruise on the Balmoral with Fred. Olsen. It was great, friendly and helpful staff to show us the way on our first cruise. We had a balcony junior suite at the rear of the ship ,the cabin was great roomy plenty of storage, kettle for tea stocks regularly topped up. Food was good, plenty of choice. Would definitely book again for a different destination. Overall a great experience.
