Review summary

As a solo traveller I felt very comfortable aboard the Balmoral. Would go with Fred Olsen again.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Not good. Seems had problems with illness on ship from previous passengers so we had to wait for about 2 hours before we could get on ship

We were on this cruise too. The weather was against us in most ports of call but hey ho it is October in the Baltic Sea. Freds crew did a fantastic job of ridding the ship of any contamination after the previous cruise to Germany. It was spotless as usual. We have tried other cruise ships but none have pleased us as much as FOCL. Roll on January for the next one.
