Joining
us on this Music Of Your Life Cruise was Buddy Morrow and the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra!
I've led many groups on this
ship when she was known as the Crown Odyssey, and now she has been lengthened, refurbished and refreshed by her new owners,
Fred Olsen Cruise Lines.
I was a little apprehensive about the changes on the ship but Fred Olsen did it right and
this ship is a Jewel! The on board musical entertainment was some of the best I have seen or heard on any ship. After 20
plus cruises I think I'm a pretty good judge of what is good and what passengers like. What follows is my review of the ship
and the cruise itself. I took all of these pictures and have posted the best to represent the ship and the cruise.

Embarking
the Balmoral on Deck 6 I felt like I was back home again. I was delighted to see the reception and atrium unchanged and in
pristine condition. On the main floor there used to be a small sundries shop and a small library. These have been replaced
with the Future Cruise Office, Customer Relations and the Photo Gallery and Office. In the past all photo sales were handled
at the Shore Tours desk. This is now much more convenient since they now also sell digital frames, film, memory cards, batteries
and top notch digital cameras.

Proceeding
up the stairs you'll find the on board shops selling clothes, jewelry, perfume, books, health and hygene items as well as
assorted snacks, candies and souvieners.
