I don’t know how you do it! It’s no Yacht Club 😂
Thankyou, I’ve been considering this cruise, it looks really good. Just about to embark on my first cruise with Fred Olsen, Channel Islands and Brittany. I like the idea of a smaller ship.
I live in Lincoln and they go over my house everyday
When i went to lincoln they flew incredibly low
It looks like the cruise was good fun!
It was fun, needed another holiday afterwards to recover 🤣
Crowd looks like they are having fun..ie not they looked board as shit
Fab tour! We’re impressed with the bathroom. It’s a really good size and no shower curtain 😀 overall it’s not a bad cabin
Thanks ☺️. The only main issue is the shower door does not seal so the water leaks out if shower head not directed away. We did make a bit of a puddle the first time 🤦♀️
Terrific❤❤❤
This in lincoln?
Yes
I love Airshows ❤❤❤
Lovely video of the new ship. If it had been recorded at lower speed, it would have been even better. But good never the less. Happy cruising.
Thanks for your feedback. We did record slower but it felt like the video was too long so took the decision to speed up to provide an impression of the ship. This hopefully keeps some surprises for anyone stepping onboard Queen Anne. We will bear this in mind for future content 😌
That was so much fun! Our first but not our last silent disco 💃🏻
Ali n Mark, I stayed in an inside single cabin on Borealis last month. June of London
What did you think to the inside cabin?
@@Alinmarktravel It was ok.
They’re a tad dated but the cabins look pretty good!
This looked like a fab cruise!
How festive!
Love a sail away from Barcelona. It’s great for a bit of ship spotting!
It did take some time to sail past these epic ships. However the party was definitely in full swing onboard ours 🤣
Everything about the ship looks amazing but that pool is very small! We’ll give Silversea a try one day!
The pool is big enough for a few laps, however an afternoon in the sun made it very hot 🥵. It really was a fabulous cruise, definitely made by the crew.
Thanks Guys, just about to book for next year was going to book 930 but after your post will now book 932 if it's free. Is there enough room on the balcony to have breakfast as video only shows a small table?
It’s not the deepest balcony and yes it’s only a small table. You could probably move the table from the lounge area to give more room. We always wondered to the Arts Cafe for breakfast.
I don’t know where you are located but maybe find a Silversea travel agent to help with your booking. If in the UK Ali can help, feel free to drop her an email [email protected]
Looks great was there any noise from the lifts ?
No there was no noise from the lift. This was a concern before we got onboard, however we had nothing to worry about. It ended up being the perfect suite for us.
MSC ships look so glitzy and glamorous. We've not tried them yet, but want to. Looks like you had a great time 🍻
It was lovely I think because we were in yacht club. Peace and relaxation was required at this stage of Ali’s recovery. It was very busy with queues at bars around the rest of the ship.
Fab cabin, fab balcony & fab tour! I need that walk in wardrobe in my life 😅
It really was a fabulous space. We could stay in here for longer than 13 nights especially with the help of a butler.😂
Love a time lapse!
Getting used to the new camera. Hopefully there will be more once we workout the editing 😂
Did you not go to the specialty restaurants? Colours & Tastes is spectacular and Vasco's is up there. Also, theres a small casino on Deck 5 with 8 gambling tables and 115 slots.
There's no balcony cabins onto the promenade deck, they're called terrace cabins. Naturally opening onto the deck you won't get a private area as with a balcony since the deck wraps around the ship so is a public thoroughfare. You do get reserved deckchairs for your own use though.
Great review guys! The ship looks lovely and it’s always a nice treat to stay in YC 😀
I don’t think we want to cruise any other way 😂
Thank you. Couple questions about the connecting door to the next room; Is it easier to hear the noises from the connecting room? Does every room have one? I’m planning a world tour on Bolette. Thanks!
Hi, we did not hear our neighbours for the duration of the cruise. We do like to have some background music on so the cabin is not silent. No not cabins have connecting doors. They are marked on the deck plans which cabins connect. If you book through a travel agent they should be able to book a specific room for you. Hope this helps.
I can’t believe we haven’t watched this video yet! This is a great cabin. The bathroom is a good size, the cabin and storage is great and the balcony is good too. The fact that it’s in YC is the cherry on top!
It was a fabulous cabin. The first time we have had an evening in on a cruise 😂. I am in the process of sorting our review need to do before March 🤦🏼♀️. Was interesting to see how we scored Yacht Club against Azamara 🥰
@@Alinmarktravel we’ll be interested to see how you compared them! YC is pretty good 😀
Warm fuzzy's watching this remembering waking up to that view and the fantastic energy on the ship.
Definitely a must for any F1 fan 🤩
We were on this cruise and had a fantastic time. Waking up anchored off of Monte Carlo was special. This years Grand Prix cruise is docking in Nice and providing transport to the Grand Prix. I don't think that would be anywhere near the experience that we had. This was our second Azamara cruise both have been amazing. So we have booked a third with Azamara this year to Iceland.
Absolutely agree the cruise was amazing. Loved sitting at the back of the ship and watching all the boats and helicopters. Azamara was a fab experience. We have Silversea next, looking forward to the comparison. We would definitely go back on Azamara, have a fab time in Iceland
It’s so nice to go back over what you’ve done over the year. Looks like you had a great 2023😀
Definitely been some ups and downs. Fingers crossed for 2024 🥺😂
Can you remember the name of the Elton John Act?
Hi it was Aaron Kavanagh instagram.com/alkav94?igsh=M2lrcjhzN21leTJx
We have not heard of Azamara but it does look really good. Super jealous to hear (in your previous video) you were also in Monoco for the Grand Prix weekend! 😂
Azamara was lovely and very much a focus on luxury & food. They are one of a couple of cruise lines that have an itinerary that includes the Monaco Grand Prix. We found it a really cost effective way to be there. Mark got his tickets for the race as a ship excursion and it was reasonably priced for the seat location. If you have any questions, just shout 😊
Really enjoyed the video. Brought back great memories!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks for your review. I've never been on a cruise, so, all or nothing, I've booked a 27 night cruise on the Bollette next year to North-east Canada, Greenland and Iceland. Not known ever to be seasick and I'm travelling alone so I'm hoping for a nice, comfortable time with good service, comfort, some entertainment and a lot of peace and quiet. From your review, the Bollette sounds just about right.
Thanks for your comment. What an amazing cruise, Bolette is a lovely ship. Have a fabulous time.
Nice work, guys ... I can tell you enjoy cruising. I have a question ... so you get your trips for free (or discounted) because you do cruise ship review videos? Thanks and cheers!
Hi, thanks we do love cruising. Nope we do not get our trips for free or discounted because we do ship reviews. I appreciate that some people might. We started as when we were looking for a cruise, it is the sort of info we are after and it provides information to share with my travel clients. Hope this helps Happy cruising
Looks like you are a big boy Mark........how did you get on with that TINY shower? It is totally putting us off using Azamara.
Good review, my opinions on Bolette exactly. The only thing that spoilt it for me was the heat on board, too warm for me.
Thanks for your comments. We have stated to cruise with a little usb fan and a portable fan. Does help if the cabin gets too hot.
We did our first ever cruise last month on Borealis to the Fjords. Scenery was phenomenal. Ship, food, crew/service faultless. Have already booked again for next year. Well and truly bitten by the cruising bug now and certainly FO 🚢 Great video. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on Bolette
Thanks for your comments. We really enjoyed Bolette and the small ship experience. Keep an eye out for our Azamara videos coming soon. There are definitely some common themes.
Will do. I’ve now subscribed to your channel 👍
Really enjoyed the video. Always like to see videos on the Azura! Keep them coming. We were on it earlier this year.
Hi peeps. I have just booked with FOC and am looking forword to it. First time with them for us. We have over 70+ cruises under our belt but never fancied FOCL until now. I would of liked to of heard more about the drinks package in your video "ie" can's and bottles inc' etc and are they in pool bar but all in in all a good video I enjoyed.
Thanks for your comment. More information can be found online about the drinks package www.fredolsencruises.com/cruising-information/drinks-upgrade Disappointingly it does not include specialty coffees and only cocktail / mocktail of the day. Soft drinks are all draft and from I can remember so are the beers. One thing we did like was if you have a drink that’s not included it is 50% off. We did not have any issues getting drinks on the package at any bar including pool bar. We really enjoyed our FOCL experience.
Very informative video! Fred Olsen hadn’t really been on our radar but we may need to give them a try!
Thanks, definitely please we decided to go on this cruise
useful if you had video of the ship. Just speaking is pretty boring.. Good luck and hope you get there...
Only thing missing is a view of the outlets and USB ports in the cabin. Thanks for the video! I will be on the Pursuit Aug 7. for Iceland Intensive and have a balcony cabin booked. I'm sure the bathroom is just as small!
Hi, thanks for your comments. There are USB ports under both bedside lights, which are very convenient. There are European and US outlets by the desk. It’s a good cabin for power supplies.
Wish you luck with the channel, and enjoyed the vids but the sound on this one was awful. Try doing the indoors on a windy day. Sorry to sound a clever Dick as you have more courage than I have. I would not know where to start.
Thanks for your feedback. It did not sound too bad on my phone, however completely get what you are saying. We will aim to do better next time 🤦🏼♀️
It was fabulous to meet you both! We hope you’ve had an amazing time. Looking forward to the F1!
Follow that little boat 😂
Bath looks lovely! Would love to go there one day 😊
It really is! It good for a long weekend.
@Ali n Mark travel tales 🇬🇧 it's on our bucket list 😊
Fantastic cabin tour, it’s a great size and I instantly recognised that view.
Thanks ☺️
Ok so this looks like a lot of fun! We’d both love the cheesy music 😃
It was a lot of fun, luckily all inclusive 😂. There was so much going on around the ship it was hard to fit it all in.
Interesting at the start, you've got 31st December 2023! Have you time travelled? Interesting to hear your experiences.
Thanks for noticing my deliberate mistake 🤦🏼♀️😂. Sorry no time travel at the moment. 😊
