Cruise to Cobh, Ireland and Cherbourg, France

Our very first cruise trip on the Black Watch : 2-6 May 2008

We were very excited, and apprehensive - not knowing what to do, what to wear, what to expect. So here's some pics for those of you who'd like to join a cruise - we'd definitely recommend Fred.Olsen's cruises due to their warm, friendly service and follow-ups.

Our cruise, Black Watch. Other cruise of Fred.Olsen company includes the Balmoral, Black Prince, Braemar, Boudicca.

tennis court

our cabin


jacuzzi

we spent a day on deck playing games with the retirees... they were good, we lost!

formal dining, meeting the Captain later.

big plates, little food, lots of decor... we like it!
you practically get to order anything you want on the menu :)

after dinner entertainment at the lounge

Horse carriage arranged especially for Black Watch passengers to take us around Cherbourg.

the huge, new Independence of the Seas taking our port. We had to dock further at Ringaskiddy, but that means we get taxi-ed to and fro Cobh town. our 'taxi'

beautiful Cobh town... tiny houses lined perfectly.
