Entertainment

A very tiered ship, many windows were ‘blown’ and could not be seen through and the frames appeared to have fungus growing on them . Our cabin had a piece of the ceiling profile missing and the wall mounted TV was on a very unusual angle. The lido deck (3) was closed for repair at various times throughout the cruise. The waiting staff tried very hard but waiting 20 minutes for a drink / bar service was not unusual. . The entertainment was repetitive 3 acts on two occasions. Our trip to hopefully see the northern lights was so poor that we were given a 40% refund, however the refund had to be spent on the ship in the last 24 hours of the cruise when stocks and choices were very limited, in terms of consumer regulation I’m not sure that a system that ment that Frank Olsen benefited from. poor performance was right.

We both had a really lovely time on the Borealis starting from the cabin which was indoor but was very spacious much more than we expected the staff on board were absolutely fantastic they couldn't do enough for you the ship was beautiful with lots of lovely areas to relax all in all probably one of the best cruises we have been on. Well done Fred Olsen and thank you we certainly will book another and a big thank you to Iglu who arranged all this for us 😄👍
