Balmoral, South America

A long cruise but worth it in terms of destination which included Antartica. Passenger age demographic was quite elderly which was a pity and did affect things like music choices and lack of sailaway parties. The staff were generally helpful and food was plentiful and good. Written communications was somewhat poor both before and during the trip but on board the captain and entertainment manager did their best to verbally keep us up to date. I wouldn't rush to return but I was put off more by the attitude of passengers than the cruise line itself. I feel Fred Olsen could/should have been stricter over abusive language and behaviour of some passengers towards staff and even other passengers and rules such as "no running" should have been properly enforced so that everyone could enjoy the cruise without a few idiots spoiling the trip for the rest of us.
