After walking around the ship, I decided to go back to my cabin and get ready for dinner. My first stop was a cocktail at On the Rocks Martini and Cocktail Bar. Delicious! And it’s not like on other cruise lines where you need 10 of their bottom-shelf drinks to make one decent drink. One… Read More

Our first port of call after three days sailing the ocean blue onboard Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines Balmoral was Cádiz, Spain.
