July morning Posted April 7 #1 Share Posted April 7 We booked our cruise last weekend and feeling happy to be able to go. The reason for choosing this cruise was it stays in UK so we were able to get insurance that didn't mean getting a mortgage 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eglesbrech Posted April 8 #2 Share Posted April 8 Balmoral is a nice little ship. Everything you need but no long walks from place to place. Its a little more old fashioned than the newer Fred ships but it has personality. The comfortable outdoor seating areas under pergolas are a great place to sit and enjoy a good book and a glass of something. The extra pay restaurants are both very good (and cheaper if pre booked). Im glad you got something sorted. Have a great cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
July morning Posted April 8 Author #3 Share Posted April 8 Thanks, We've been with FO before Braemar was our first and loved it😀 We were booked on Balmoral before but it was cancelled due to you know what so it will be a "new" ship for us We like Colours and Taste (?) The Asian speciality restaurant well worth the extra We're really looking forward to the cruise feel we badly need a break 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry2 Posted April 9 #4 Share Posted April 9 Although I was normally booked for dinner in the ballindalloch restaurant, I always used to have lunch in the spey and avon restaurants on deck 10, which also has an outdoor dining area (if it is warm enough). Enjoy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1160451 Posted April 9 #5 Share Posted April 9 Balmoral. Our favourite Fred Ship. Was booked on it to see the Northern Lights but had to cancel. Danced many a night away in the Lido Lounge. Always a great group in there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plug sockets are few and far between so you may want to pack both an adapter and a buzz bar. We also had our own USB sockets as well (some of the refurbished rooms may have these but ours on deck 5 did not). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
July morning Posted May 12 Author #9 Share Posted May 12 Thanks for the reply, I was expecting to take an a adapter just wondered if there was a 3pin UK socket 🙂 I seen the link for FO answer they don't give much away 😂 Thank you again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
