BE WARNED
Reviewed By: Andrews, Pontypridd on 29th Jun 2008
Cruise Line: Fred. Olsen Cruises	Times cruised before: 3-5
Cruise Ship: Boudicca	Sailed: January, 2008
Destination: South America	Age: 56-65

This was a fantastic cruise to Brazil and Argentina. The Boudicca is a small and homely ship with all the ameniteis you require to make your holiday The service was excellent and the food five star.Congratulations Boudicca and Fred Olsen.The day trips were good except Cape Verdi ,everything was closed because it was sunday.Rio carnival was brilliant ,an event not to be missed. In the passenger terminal at Rio port there are three jewellers ofering complimentry transport to their showrooms and on to the beaches or shopping. But be warned of BENBROS Jewellers.It was my 40th wedding anniverary and I bought my wife a ruby ring costing £1000, only to find three of the rubies had fractures across the surface , I have been in contact with BENBROS ever since my return, and they have refused to help or compensate me,other than returning to Rio with the ring. So be warned, don,t bye any jewellry from BENBROS unless you get an independent expert to look at the jewellry. We really enjoyed the cruise with Fred Olsens Boudicca. But we wish we never took the complimentry to BENBROS SHOWROOMS

I don't think many of us will be buying £1000 rings from unknown jewellers on the other side of the world in the near future, but thanks for the warning anyway! Happy cruising.
