Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on Braemar
Carolekinross
6-10 Cruises • Age 80s
We chose this cruise as a stress less way of crossing to Barbados for a family gathering.
The cabin (except it’s location) was excellent, food amazing, good entertainment.
The distances from the ship to port gates nearly finished us off, no shuttles of any kind for poor walkers.
Our cabin was mid-ships as far away from elevator as possible even though I had repeatedly asked for easy ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s
This was without doubt the worst "Holiday" I have ever had - sadly it was my first cruise.
We were kept hanging about at Southampton until 4pm (no reason of the delay given).
Straight to Cabin and to use the Loo - NOT WORKING!
This was just the very start of all the problems this "CRUISE SHIP" was having...
Lifts were out of order or being used by workmen and all their Clobber. Walk ...

10+ Cruises • Age 70s
It was a cruise for my wife's senior birthday. After forgetting our passports and having to return home after a stay at the Premier Inn the boarding was over in 45 minutes and all cases were unpacked with half an hour of entering the cabin.
We have been on the ship a few time so we knew the layout of it.
On our first night dining, I was uncertain of one of the other guest on the table. The ...

Review for a Mediterranean Cruise on Braemar

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s
The entertainment was excellent on board, especially the Braemar entertainment team with their amazing new " queen" tribute, stunning harmonies from the singers and fast strong dancers, really a highlife of our trip.
The team could also be seen throughout the day chatting and helping passengers, VERY PROFESSIONAL.
All staff on board friendly and helpful, what a brilliant short break we had. ...

10+ Cruises • Age 60s
Braemar is a very happy, friendly ship. Being smaller, it's much easier and quicker getting on and off the ship - didn't have to queue once for anything during the whole cruise. Embarkation and disembarkation was slick and very quick with plenty of helpful crew members around to help. Our luggage was outside our cabin when we got on board and the whole experience was trouble free and ...

Review for a Baltic Sea Cruise on Braemar

10+ Cruises • Age 40s
This was our first experience with FOCL and the Braemar. The cruise was 10 nights around the UK from Southampton; up to the first port of Leith for an overnight, then Dundee, Invergordon, Scrabster, Oban and Belfast. The first and last full days were days at sea and the cruise had two formal nights.
The Ship
The Braemar was slightly smaller than we're used to. We've sailed most often with ...

Review for a Baltic Sea Cruise on Braemar
Maura Hudson
10+ Cruises • Age 70s
We booked this cruise mainly because of the ports of call, which we hadn't been to before, and because of there being some river cruising involved. Embarkation at Southampton was stress free and our cases were outside our cabin by the time we got on the ship. We were very impressed by the quality of the food on board and had two excellent waiters. The company show group had just joined the ship ...

Review for a Europe - British Isles & Western Cruise on Braemar

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s
We chose this cruise because of the river features. It was more expensive but we wanted a luxury cruise. We found out from this site it was a flat bottom boat. We would never have booked as my husband is a poor sailor. He was sick for 2 days and drugged (sea sick tabs make him very sleepy) for a few more. Many people were unwell for first few days. Embarkation was quite smooth even though a man ...

Been on a couple of Fred Olsen cruises before on the Balmoral & was expecting the same kind of treatment ,sadly I couldn't have been more wrong !. the ship looked shabby & dated .The ship is not disabled friendly . there are only two sets of lifts which are small & you have to walk down very long corridors to get to cabins which are cramped and not well fitted. There were only two smoking ...

First we found out after boarding the ship that she was flat bottomed which of coarse meant there was much more movement in when cruising. Poor sailors beware.
The cabins were very clean, the size adequate.
The food varied from good to excellent.
The staff were brilliant, very hard working and very polite.
The entertainment varied from poor to excellent depending on ones taste.
We ...
