My wife and I took this ship, in 2002, when It was called the Crown Odyssey under Orient Lines! It was amazing with 5 Star food! The guests were mainly rich Americans, very friendly! Still looks great, the rooms look exactly the same, and the wonderful Atrium hasn't changed!

That's interesting! I'm sure it has had some improvements but I guess there is only so much you can do with a makeover on a ship.

Thanks. It's a lovely ship and I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Thanks for the tour. Very well presented. Its made up my mind that the Balmoral isn't for me. Yes its an older traditional ship and very well kept. I wish everyone who travels on her a very safe and enjoyable holiday.

Well I'm glad the video helped in some way! We've just got back from two weeeks on Iona which was altogether different!

@@jasbirkaur5795 Surprisingly no. After only cruising on smaller ships we were concerned about cruising on a ship with 5,000 passengers but it was never crowded although I suspect it wasn't sailing at full capacity.

Hi so does the main restraunt have buffet selection for breakfast lunch ?

@oldcodgerwithacamera 6 ай бұрын

Yes there's a full buffet selection for breakfast in the MDR or you can choose table service if you want something like Eggs Benedict or an omelette. Either way the waiters will serve you tea or coffee. I assume that the same applies for lunch although we never ate lunch in the MDR.

How do the tips work. Do you pay as you go or is it a charged at the end?

@oldcodgerwithacamera 8 ай бұрын

Tips are added to your onboard account daily which is then settled at the end of the cruise.

@@oldcodgerwithacamera - Thanks. I've since found out you can pay tips in advance at so much per day. Good to know either way.

Many cruises have an Onboard Spending offer. The gratuities can be offset against that.

I don’t believe the comment it was another named ship. I went on it’s sister ship and this has always been a Fred Olsen ship, it was over ten years ago.

I've checked and it was indeed originally the Crown Odyssey built in 1988 for Royal Cruise Line. In 1989 it was sold to Norwegian where it operated as Crown Odyssey until 1996 when it was renamed Norwegian Crown. Fred Olsen bought it in 2006 and renamed it Balmoral.
