Ive done that sometimes. I type my answer and look at the preview to see if it looks OK. Then forget to press submit. Sometimes I can go back and find it and press submit, if not.......... start all over again.

...and what happens to the non suite guests?

It's probably the same as with Cunard; I think they're just given a packed lunch before being herded below decks. I'm not sure if Fred Olsen has padlocks on the gates though. Hey, a thought just occurred to me... Is that why Cunard call it 'Grills' class? - because the people in steerage can only see the posh people through grills? :D

Love your letter carry on having a good life

Do the children throw them table scraps :o

Congratulations on your wedding, Dave and Fred. Thanks for the pics and videos of the Balmoral. I've just come back from the North Cape on Boudicca and we stayed in a suite on Deck 9. Further along the corridor were the posher suites that looked very like yours. We only peeked in through the doors buit they looked fabulous.
We had a great time, the weather was warm and sunny most days and the ship comfortable. We've been on her before so knew what to expect.
The staff, as ever, could not do enough and were so pleasant and friendly.
Glad you had a great honeymoon.

Welcome back Angela, I'm glad you had a good time. Will you be writing a review?

Thanks Jill, and yes, I will write a review. We had a lovely time and saw the most amazing scenery and fantastic sunsets!

Thanks Angela, that's very kind of you and I'm glad you had a great time on Boudicca. We've booked a cruise on her for next summer, but we're only on deck 8. Still, there's plenty of time for an upgrade... .

Hi Dave,
We booked deck 8 (8015)originally then we were offered an upgrade to 9 which we took after a bit of dithering. I was worried that we would hear the deck chairs on Deck 10 being dragged around. At 6.30 the first morning we did!! However, as the cruise was to Norway, not many people used the top sun decks so it wasn't too bad, but if you are going somewhere hot it might be a problem. We were on Deck 8 two years ago and the cabin was lovely. Spacious and very comfortable. You'll like it, though it won't be quite as spacious as your honeymoon suite!
Angela.
