Comparing a smaller cruise ship to the larger ones....it was surprising!  

Great video. Im finding it really useful as sailing from Liverpool in the autumn. Ive not been on Bolette/ a Fred Olsen ship before so really helpful to see what to expect.

Great video guys - what a lovely calm and quiet atmosphere - be prepared for a decibel shift on MSC! 🫣. Food looked lovely!

Thanks for the very informative video. Good to see you enjoyed Fred Olsen's ship. We have been on Balmoral twice and really enjoyed it. Crew absolutely make a cruise . Food and choice also very good. Outside cabin comfortable and spacious. We are going on Borealis in August to Norway which we are looking forward to. Bolette is almost identical to Borealis, so your video was great to watch as we now have some idea of what to expect! Keep on cruising and continue with your videos, they are very useful and interesting.

Glad to now see Bolette, as I have just done a week on Borealis. Very similar/familiar bars, etc. My daughter and I were very impressed with everything, especially the wonderful crew members who were all welcoming and efficient, and I am pleased to say we experienced very few delays in service, in fact, hardly worth mentioning. I will not hesitate to go with Fred again in the future. Only in future we will go from Dover instead of Southampton - nightmare getting there on motorways (we live in Kent)!!!

I've just had a marathon of watching four of your very well presented blogs on Bolette. She is my favourite and seeing your vids reminds me I've left a little of my soul onboard. Love the Atrium clock! The crew are brilliant and great to see some faces I recognised from last March. You did a great job in a warm, friendly and informative way, thank you! (PS Dave knows how to hold a wine glass properly, many don't 😊)

Great to see a proper old school promenade deck 👍

Bookmark cafe was my favourite place onboard Bolette - those chocolates are amazing. Having sailed from Newcastle it was great to see the processe of embarking from Liverpool. Great video.

Have just found your channel - hello! Interesting to see you on Fred - I was talking about this cruise line yesterday, and it got me researching. Nice little cabin you had on there - thanks for taking us with you!

I'm glad I saw your video. I'm embarking on Bollette on the 19th. July for a 27 night cruise. And I've never been on a cruise before. The ship looks very nice, relatively quiet (which I like) and I think I'm going to really enjoy the experience.

Great video

I'm going to book because of this vlog! 👌🏻

Just got off Bolette a few days ago. We pleased with everything on board so we booked again for next year.

Looks a lot more welcoming than the new Queen Anne!

Great video! Very helpful for my upcoming cruise. Thank you. Random question, do the TV's in the rooms have little usb ports I can plug a USB into? Was planning on loading up a USB with some movies for some relaxing at night :D

Did Fred once about 6 years ago and said never again, ship was so dated, but looking at your blog we think it's time to give FO another look .

Does Fred Olsen pay its crew properly yet? I went on a cruise on Boudicca (now scrapped I believe) some years and back and I certainly did not appreciate the emotional blackmail to leave large tips in brown envelopes for the room service and waiting staff etc. It was quite openly stated that the crew was not being paid enough! A disgraceful state of affairs that cruise companies get away with because they don't have to comply with any country's employment laws.

Not very fancy is it ... Looks like a wreck
