Fred. Olsen has a rating of 4.6 out of five stars on Trustpilot based on nearly 15,000 reviews. One recent review said: "The level of service from start to finish was incredible. Staff were friendly and took the trouble to get to know us, often anticipating our needs." Another praised the food and accommodation, while a third noted: "We were first time cruisers. Everything was absolutely fabulous."
Some customers felt the flight schedule could be improved. One wrote: "Sadly the Fred. Olsen pre arranged flight back to the UK was too late in the day. It should have been arranged for early afternoon, which would have allowed us to arrive in Manchester by 6pm rather than 10pm." Another suggested a morning flight for guests joining the ship at various locations.
