Bolette is a beautiful ship, the cabin was spacious as well as shower room. Staff were lovely and so hard working, the meals were wonderful I didn't stay in the shows as they were not what I like, so I joined in quizzes and dancing.
It was well worth the money and I would recommend Bollette and Fred.Olsen cruises to friends and family.
