They Put the Sick Bags Out…So We Braced for the Worst
What’s it really like on a sea day when you’re sailing through the Bay of Biscay with gale force winds forecast? In this video we take you along for a full sea day on Fred. Olsen Balmoral as the ship prepares for rough weather. Sick bags were put out, deck furniture was secured, and warnings were circulating around the ship. We were expecting a difficult day at sea, but while it was rocky and windy, we managed to avoid the worst of the storm. We show you what Balmoral is like on a sea day when the weather isn’t great, including what’s still open, how busy the indoor venues are, and the kind of activities Fred. Olsen offers compared to other cruise lines. We also share what the ship feels like as the day goes on, from walking the promenade deck in strong gusts to attending talks, quizzes, and onboard classes. Later, we take you around Balmoral in the evening to see what the bars and entertainment are like, what people are wearing, how busy the venues get, and what the atmosphere is like on a longer voyage. If you’re considering a Fred. Olsen cruise, or you’re curious about cruising in rough seas, this video gives you a realistic look at a sea day on Balmoral in challenging conditions.
