Cruise Line: Fred. Olsen Cruises	Times cruised before: 1-2
Cruise Ship: Balmoral	Sailed: August, 2008
Destination: Mini Cruises	Age: 56-65

Checking in at Dover was good but the wait in a rather crowded departure lounge was not.On boarding we were shown to our cabin which was an outside superior with 3 berths and a really large picture window.The ship was spotleesly clean and tidy with hygiene treated very seriously.There are 3 restaraunts onboard all serving the same menu.The food is excellent and served by a really dedicated team of waiters.The wine list is comprehensive and offers good value.Entertainment is varied and of a good standard with cabaret shows performed in the Neptune theatre which is very comfortable.Outside deck space is excellent and 4 times around the promenade deck equals 1 mile.The itinery called for a visit to Guernsey but this was not possible due to windy conditions making tender transfers dangerous,instead a visit to Cherbourg was arranged.Much to olsens credit this worked well.Buses were provided free of charge to transport you into the city and the museum in the harbour was opened specially.
