Hi guys great to hear that you had a fantastic time on fred! Hope you both have a wonderful time in Edinburgh this weekend . Happy Birthday Carole ,enjoy the celebrations x
Glad to hear you like Fred. I've got my eye on an Iceland cruise on Bolette next June. Ideal for us as we are 30 miles from Liverpool instead of 6 hours from Southampton. My only concern is we are late 40s and will feel like toddlers.
Hello Paul and Carole , I’ve just discovered your channel and really enjoying watching- Thank you! I’m going to the Norwegian fiords on Bolette in 3 weeks and I can’t wait , especially having watched this video and your enthusiasm for Bolette! It is my first time cruising and chose Fred Olson because I wanted a smaller ship. Your video answered a lot of questions I had, which was super helpful - thank you! Xx
Happy birthday from a fellow Cancerian. Left the NHS after the Griffiths report and closures became the norm. So sad, I had gone into it thinking it was for life.
On Fred Olsen you can speak to someone after check in for dietary requirements, there is a desk at checking where you can go and see them, you can as you said Paul go and speak to the Maitre D when you board
Sorry I missed you live. So happy that you had such a wonderful time on Fred Olsen’s. On a total aside, I watched the game yesterday and I’m so thrilled for England-and Paul. Will be watching and cheering on Sunday. Going on our first cruise on August 28th-fingers crossed that Is as great as we’ve been told.
I completely agree about the Liverpool crowd. We did Fred from Liverpool last year and we literally just got off Fred from Dover and it was a completely different atmosphere! Much prefer Liverpool cohort!!
Carol.... in relation to the "business" of health care. We are unfortunately seeing that in Canada too. Our system is much like NHS. No longer are the unit managers nurses but more these days are more business type managers. Keeping the bottom line down.
So looking forward to the group cruise. Wishing you a happy birthday Carole for this weekend. Your laugh is so contagious. Wondering where the 2026 group cruise will be? Sounds very intriguing.
Happy various anniversaries and a big 58 oooppps, When are you guys going to try NCL? Would love to know your opinions. Im sure you would love the Waterfront, The District Brew House, Cagneys Restaurant, Syd Normans Pour House etc, if you ever decide to take the plunge send me a message. More than happy to advise best options ( Im not an NCL agent just hooked).
I know some UK cruise companies make it a bit difficult to book with them if you're from North America. Does Fred Olson have that kind of thing or can a Canadianite like myself book with them easily?
Oh glad you commented, sorry we forgot your names on the live! 🙈 So much fun meeting you both and thanks for supporting us by telling everyone about our channel!
Very interesting career you were obviously very good at your job ,your personality shines through as a people person .great channel both ,especially your report on queen anne which ill be on soon
If you have a celebration then we always recommend you let your travel agent know so they can add it to your booking. Doesn't mean it is guaranteed though!
Hello Paul & Carole. Really enjoyed this Q& A video- thank you! You mentioned about the speciality restaurant Vasco and that there were 3 menus weekly, so you suggested having a look at these before you booked. I was going to book online before we travel but will probably book once on board now. Do you know if Colours& Tastes restaurant also has a choice of menu? Thank you!
Hello Paul and Carole missed the live phone went off around 4am dark and cold just having my breakfast my wonderful husband has brought it in to me. No ships here in Sydney until October on QE in December.
@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel We only have P&O (Aus) they do local cruises to Sth Pacific and Carnival Splendor which are not for us anymore we are old and like a more refined atmosphere we sound like snobs we're not.
@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel Did you know P&O is going to cease to exist after March next year Carnival will take the ships over and they will sail under the Carnival flag. P&O are part of our maritime history the Australian part established in the 30s I worked at P&O head office in Sydney in the 60s/70s and Gavin is a fellow P&Oer so we are sad to be taken over by the Americans.
Yes there were a few onboard our cruise 😀 We have a great travel agent who could sort that out for you if you are interested! Dan Hammond of GoCruise&Travel - dan@gocruise.uk.com or 01622 891895. You can also contact him via our bookings page paulandcarolelovetotravel.com/bookings/
@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel apologies , my question was rude , I was just thinking out allowed and being stupid and embarrassing. You gave an honest gracious reply , thank you

Oh wow, fair play to you too. From what we have seen Liverpool is a great city!

Fred sounds great!! Will look into it 👌
We had a great time!

QUESTION: When's the next Cruise? happy birthday Carol 🥳
Next week, will be announcing it on our live on Tuesday.
Totally agree about cruises going from Liverpool, we would often go on more cruises from our hometown,would 2 weeks be to long on Bolette.
No we would of happily stayed on after our 9 days!
So pleased you enjoyed Fred cruise, Have a very Happy Birthday Carole. Hope you both have a great weekend
Thank you! We had a great time on Fred!
On Fred Olsen you can speak to someone after check in for dietary requirements, there is a desk at checking where you can go and see them, you can as you said Paul go and speak to the Maitre D when you board

Happy Birthday from Calgary
I completely agree about the Liverpool crowd. We did Fred from Liverpool last year and we literally just got off Fred from Dover and it was a completely different atmosphere! Much prefer Liverpool cohort!!
It's really interesting isn't it! We will definitely cruise from Liverpool again!
@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel us too and not from Dover 😉

Oh hi there! No worries hope you are planning your next cruise! Thank you!
@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel Great show,so entertaining informative and funny!😆👌🏻✨
Carol.... in relation to the "business" of health care. We are unfortunately seeing that in Canada too. Our system is much like NHS. No longer are the unit managers nurses but more these days are more business type managers. Keeping the bottom line down.
So sad to see it happening in Canafa too. The NHS is a different beast to what it was. Glad I am out of it!
Same in US. I retired in 2019.
I never seem to make the live broadcast but always catch up at some point. Really interested to hear about Fred.
Thanks for catching up!
They are doing a Canneries cruise in November but 3 days at sea there and back but it’s 2 wks.
Always the issue of getting to the canaries from the UK, normally 2-3 days....
So looking forward to the group cruise. Wishing you a happy birthday Carole for this weekend. Your laugh is so contagious. Wondering where the 2026 group cruise will be? Sounds very intriguing.
Group cruise should be a lot of fun! Thanks so much!
Great live show! Carole was on tonight. You two are a blast to watch. My wife does mystery cruises as well. Cheers 🥃
Thank you! Would love to try a Mystery Cruise!
Fantastic reviews of Fred Olsen.

They all have so much to offer, the only one we are not planning to go back to at the moment is MSC.
Awe Paul didn’t like the billy bear meat 🐻🤣
Happy Birthday Carole 🎉
Lol he didn't! Thank you!
Vasco was our Fave

Have a happy birthday and enjoy your trip to London/Edinburgh! Happy retirement anniversary too.

Sorry I missed the live! Was on the treadmill and forgot…
No problem, fair play to you being on the treadmill!
I know some UK cruise companies make it a bit difficult to book with them if you're from North America. Does Fred Olson have that kind of thing or can a Canadianite like myself book with them easily?
You can book, if you want our travel agent Dan's contact details just let us know!
Cheers Carole🎉Happiest birthday wishes to you 🍹🍸🍷

Thanks Steven. Hope you have a great time on Queen Anne!
Question. Would Olsen recognize my wife's 40yrs service as a nurse, and offer anything to celebrate? This would be our first Olsen cruise.
If you have a celebration then we always recommend you let your travel agent know so they can add it to your booking. Doesn't mean it is guaranteed though!
Question. Would you recommend a premium suit on the bollete?😊
It was fabulous if you want the extra space and it suits your budget!

Glad you enjoyed it. Colours and Tastes have the different menus too!
Thank you for your helpful replies! 😀

I’ve always found your reviews honest not moany just being straight.
Thanks appreciate that!
Hello Paul and Carole missed the live phone went off around 4am dark and cold just having my breakfast my wonderful husband has brought it in to me. No ships here in Sydney until October on QE in December.

And I handed them all out
Lol should of given you a box full! 🤣🤣
I was confused as to why you were gifted money. Is this normal?
Some supporters do super chats to say thank you for content or special occasions like my birthday this weekend.
Where is the group cruise in Sept 2026 going?
Not sure yet waiting on itineraries to come out!
Do Americans ever cruise on Fred Olsen?
Yes there were a few onboard our cruise 😀 We have a great travel agent who could sort that out for you if you are interested! Dan Hammond of GoCruise&Travel - dan@gocruise.uk.com or 01622 891895. You can also contact him via our bookings page paulandcarolelovetotravel.com/bookings/
How do you afford to pay for all your cruises??
We work hard and save 😀

Lol no problem!
Happy Birthday Carole, hope you have a lovely time xx
