Black Watch Review
Rating by category
Additional details
This was our second cruise on Black Watch - she is an old ship but we find her comfortable with a good ambience - no glitz or glamour and traditional but we quite like that and also much prefer the fact that she is a 'small' and elegant ship.
Car parking service and embarkation at Liverpool were easy. We walked easily to the ship but there was a mini bus for people with mobility issues. Port of Liverpool staff were friendly and helpful.
The seas were very rough for our first day out of Liverpool and many passengers were unwell - unfortunately not a lot can be done about this, but the remainder of the trip was fine.
Cabin Review
Superior Outside Cab
Conveniently located middle of deck 5 Two single beds, extremely comfortable. Good amount of storage space. Shower room was fine - slightly larger shower than in other cabins we have stayed in. Seemed quiet, only one cabin adjoining and the only noise we heard was the occasional closing of a wardrobe door - this was not a problem. We have booked to stay in this cabin again.
Port Reviews
Geiranger
Have taken the Eagle Road excursion from Geiranger in the past so this time explored Geiranger itself. The scenery here is beautiful. If you like walking get a map from tourist office and there are very good walks of varying distances. If you like shopping there are plenty of tourist shops here - but mostly seem to sell the same items.
Bergen
Bergen is an interesting city to visit. Favourite walk is to take funicular up Mount Floyen and walk down, about 45 minutes, through woodland and then narrow streets of old wooden houses, beautiful.
Fish market is worth a visit, had a very good evening meal at the stall in the far corner.
Industrial Knitting Museum at Salhus worth a visit if you are that way inclined!
