Something about your videos that are cozy and relaxing. Thanks for posting. :)

Thanks for the kind comment, glad you enjoy them. We tend to keep ourselves pretty relaxed when we cruise, I guess that comes through a bit in the videos too :)

Great video. Lovely to see my hometown of Liverpool too 😊

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. And we really liked what we saw of Liverpool, video doesn't do justice to how cold and windy that day was though! We'll hopefully be there again in more temperate weather.

Great video guys! Crazy that it was such bad weather you had to stay an extra day. Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. It looked christmassy when we were on board but theres even more decorations in yours!

[@richandsuzcruise]

Thanks, and yes we were quite glad the captain decided not to sail into the storm, as the weather was seriously windy! We had a great time, it was the most Christmas spirit we've felt (and drunk!) in years!

Fred Olsen Cruises, is it all it's cracked up to be or just fluff. Thank you

We enjoyed it at least, and felt like good value. Food was good overall, drinks were good, drinks package, and bar prices pretty cheap, crew were great, and a lot of them remembered our names and what we like to drink after just one visit to a bar, which was nice. Atmosphere onboard was pretty laid back, and ship felt quiet most of the time, which we don't mind. Also smallish ship, easy to get about. Limited itineraries/destinations would be our only real negative, as it's pretty much no fly cruising from the UK.
