First time Fred

[Electra 7]

Hi I would like to know what is the dress code compared to cunard and also can anyone advise me about ballroom / Latin dancing onboard

Hi, I don’t think that you can ever be overdressed in the evening on a cruise. I’ve cruised both Fred and Cunard and  I’m sure that your existing wardrobe will be more than suitable, looking at your signature and what cruise lines you’ve travelled on. 
I’m not a dancer, I know Fred provide evening music to dance a social foxtrot to, I joined in with the dance lessons at the time. However, that was way back on my last cruise with them back in 2012, things may have changed since then. 
I’m on Bolette in a few days, I’ll report back about the dancing when I’m home 😀

When we started cruising with Fred Olsen a few years ago, you used to see these ballroom dancing sessions on the floor where they held the evening entertainments. Our last cruise on Bolette, there were a few determined dance sessions on a dance floor near one of the bars.

Thanks  for the info

When we have been on FO there has usually been "dancing" in the Neptune lounge.  We're hopeless dancers but was nice to watch those who can 😂
