Review summary

I found a three day cruise too short, you unpack, settle in, visit the destination, then re-pack and get ready to disembark, I would definatley visit Amsterdam again, but not on such a short cruise

Embarkation

5 out of 5

fantastic, very quick and efficient

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

the food was good, but the evening dinner menu was uninspiring with not as much choice as on previous Fred Olsen cruises

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

only on a short cruise, so didn't really use Onboard facilities

Entertainment

We didnt go to any shows

Children's Programs

all our kids are grown up

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

always good on Fred Olsen cruises

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Black Watch is a nice little ship, cosy, friendly, and still plenty of areas to go to get away from the crowds

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

excellent, clean, will consider using this cabin again

Ship tip

if you Drink coke, take your own, they for some reason dont serve it onboard ship

I can not imagine going on such a short cruise... we feel the seven days are a little short. Some times we do back-to-back cruises, to give us more cruise days.
