Entertainment

I love the Balmoral. The ship isn’t too big and there is plenty of space. All the dining area are pleasant but the Spey and Avon are particularly nice having beautiful sea views. Although I had an interior cheaper cabin it was very comfortable and conveniently furnished.

Staff all very personable and couldn't have been more friendly and caring. We enjoyed most of the entertainment but some of it wasn't to our taste. The comedian was brilliant. The food was very good with plenty of choice but not excellent. However, the kitchen staff are to be commended for their work. The activities were very good and there was something for everyone. The beauty salon facials were excellent . We booked onto the cheese and wine experience and it was outstanding. We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather and so we e enjoyed the swimming pool and the jacuzzi. The cocktails were great and very reasonably priced . Housekeeping do a brilliant job.
