The difference regarding these ships to others sailing the worlds oceans is the size. FOCL purposely sail smaller ships. This is due to passenger wishes. Smaller vessels allow a friendlier atmosphere, personalised, and intimate.
Ships sizes:
Black Prince: 11209 grt, 234 cabins
Black Watch: 28492 grt, 400 cabins
Breamar: 19089 grt, 377 cabins
Another ...

Advantages: being waited on, lots to do, relax if you want Disadvantages: spoils you for the future, no other holiday compares

The first time a did a cruise i booked it for 2 weeks, i was a little worried thinking it would be too much 2 weeks on a ship, in fact i could ... ...much to do day and night, when we stopped at prt i was spoilt for choice i wanted to get off, but i also wanted to stay on the ship. The two weeks on the ship was like 2 weeks in a 5 star hotel, the service is excellent you get spoilt. The food is included in the price of the cruise you have a choice of a resturant five course meal or a buffet style, which ever you choose the food is excellent. Tips are included in the price so you don't have to ...
