Ken goes Cruising is a channel dedicated to sharing our experience of cruising. We have enjoyed 52 cruises since 1995. As well as sharing some factual and helpful information the idea behind this channel is to share our joy of cruising. My long suffering wife Lindsey is a very important part of our team. Since our retirement we had planned several bucket list cruises and so far we have only completed one of them. We have now started international cruising again and hope you will join us on our travels.
You can also find us on Instagram, Twitter & our Facebook page both entitled surprisingly

Food looked good, especially the curry!🍛 😋

[@KenGoesCruising]

It was good but the best meal was in Vasco the other speciality restaurant but you'll have to wait until next week for that. Thanks for watching Ladies and keep cruising.

Loved Amsterdam went there a few years ago, love their layered apple pie and hot chocolate, beautiful place.

[@KenGoesCruising]

We have been there a few times now both winter and summer. We enjoyed a visit to the Amsterdam dungeon on one occasion. A was really good fun.

Hi Lindsey & Ken, Enjoyed your canal trip around Amsterdam, be hard to miss the rain most places lately,,,, Soul singer great , best entertainment 😊 A real shame food not served hotter.

[@KenGoesCruising]

Thanks Jane The food was a shame because it's very good quality and really tasty. I wonder if it was because of the outside temperature it was chilly. We do love Amsterdam and have done some interesting things there in the past including the Amsterdam dungeon and a visit to the Heineken brewery.

I would to take a cruise that stops in Amsterdam. I am loving this series

[@KenGoesCruising]

We have 5 weeks to wait for our next cruise on Cunards new ship Queen Anne for her maiden voyage. Thanks for watching

[@lesleywaghorn1627]

Loved the trip along the canal 😊 Interesting that you mentioned having the spa to yourself. Is that not usual? And how does the booking system typically work? Did you try the spa on Riviera?

[@KenGoesCruising]

Hi Lesley When we have used the thermal spa on other ships (which isn't very often) It is usually shared with other people. If you have a private treatment you are on your own. To book you just go to the Spa and book a slot they are sold in one hour periods on Fred Olsen but you can book a double session if you want.We didn't use the Spa on Riviera our itinerary was very port intensive and we didn't really find the time. Also on Oceania if you have a concierge grade then spa access is included. We didn't have that grade of cabin we just had an ocean view. Thanks for watching again. Happy Easter

Thanks, Ken and happy Easter to you and Lindsay😊

Hi. I’m getting the feeling you have mixed feelings about the food. How does this compare to P&O? Can’t make my mind up whether we would like Fred Olsen.

[@KenGoesCruising]

Hi Karen I think the food is better than P & O our only issue with any of the food was the temperature of it on some occasions. I think I would best describe Fred Olsen as P & O was 25 years ago. It still has those special little touches and the staff have time for you.

[@karenparry367]

@@KenGoesCruising thanks. We may risk it one day as cruises go from Liverpool which is close to us . I think we would like the smaller ships.

[@KenGoesCruising]

@@karenparry367 it is very traditional and the food temperature issues I can't quite understand. In next week's episode we try the other speciality dining which is situated in part of the buffet and the food up there was piping hot.
