This has been a day for receiving interesting emails from cruise lines. In addition to the incorrect credit card pre-authorisation email from P&O I also received this email from Fred. Olsen:
Hi All,
We just wanted to share with you the exciting news that Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is making a significant investment across its fleet and moving in a different direction…
More details to follow on Monday 13th June 2016, so save a space!
I’m quite intrigued by this. Obviously Fred. Olsen are faced with the fact that two of their ships, Black Watch and Boudicca, are now very old – 40 years+ in each case. I know they’re very well maintained, but they are old and show it in their on-board arrangements. Perhaps Fred Olsen are going to announce a new build? – although the comment “… making a significant investment across its fleet” does seem to the talking about the current fleet. Then there’s the comment “… and moving in a different direction…” at the end; the possibilities for that are endless.
We must wait until Monday to learn more.
Hi Tom, so what was Fred’s “different direction”?
Don’t know! There was an email this morning to say “There’s a hold up…”
That’s odd, Fred did not e-mail me about this, although I get other Olsen e-mails. You must be ‘special’ Tom!
