My husband and I are veteran cruisers, and this was our 35th cruise and 7th with Fred Olsen. We had been on the Boudicca before, in 2008, so we were looking forward to being back on board this lovely little ship again.
Embarkation at Liverpool was very quick and streamlined with no waiting around. Our cabin was a twin-bedded outside one (with a window) on Deck 5, the main deck. It contained two very comfortable beds, two chairs, flat screen TV, dressing table and lots of drawer and wardrobe space. The bathroom had a bathtub as well as a shower. There were also tea and coffee making facilities.
We were travelling on the all-inclusive package and this is well worth the money; as well as the included house beers, wines and spirits you could also purchase premium brands and cocktails for half price. The food and service were excellent, no complaints there at all. The prices in the salon and shops were very good as well, in fact I could get my hair done cheaper in the ship's salon than I can at home!
Very nice cabin; clean, comfortable and quiet. Appreciated the bathtub in the cabin as well as the shower. Twin beds, lots of drawer and wardrobe space and tea and coffee making facilities. Conveniently situated on deck 5 for reception and the shops, and the salon one deck below. Would stay in 5050 again.
