Traveller feedback
Many travellers praised Fred. Olsen's service, with one saying: "No problems embarking very quickly and efficiently. Food was good, and staff was excellent." Another noted: "I like the small ships. They are very good and very nice to be honest with you, at a very reasonable price for what you get."
Some less pleased travellers reported issues, including one who said: "We would not have booked this cruise if we had known that we would be sailing slowly up and down the Irish Sea for a week."
