Cabin Service
All our vessels offer complimentary cabin service for breakfast and light snacks, times and availability of each will be detailed in your Welcome Pack on board. Balmoral and Black Watch cabins have complimentary tea/coffee facilities, which we hope to extend across the fleet, excluding Black Prince, by late 2008. Black Prince offers a 24 hour tea/coffee service via room service.
Cabins
From the moment you step on board our staff will be waiting to welcome you and direct you to your cabin. Your cabin door is opened either by the use of your security swipe card or by the use of a key that will be found just within your open cabin door. A Welcome Pack of useful on board information, and a handy ship guide, will be in your cabin on arrival.
All cabins are provided with complimentary stationery. Each cabin is also equipped with a hair dryer, television and on all vessels, with the exception of the Black Prince, a telephone.
In addition, with the exception of Junior Suites on Black Watch, all suited accommodation feature a fridge and entertainment system.
Your cabin stewardess will keep your cabin in immaculate condition, replacing any towels and linen as and when required. Separate towels will be provided for use around the swimming pool. We kindly ask you not to take towels from the ship ashore, so please pack your own for taking to the beach.

Card Room
A designated card room is available on board each ship and Bridge tuition is offered on many Black Watch cruises by qualified instructors. Licensed by the EBU, selected cruises have competitive sessions and points play on days at sea.
Casino
There is a small gaming area on all our vessels where you can try your hand at Blackjack and Roulette.
Please note that games of chance may not be charged back to your cabin account.
Children’s Facilities
Black Watch and Boudicca have a Games Room which is normally set up for Table Tennis, but is adapted to a Children’s Playroom on cruises falling within the main school holiday periods. Balmoral has an Arts and Crafts Room that again will be converted to a Children’s facility during the main school holidays. Braemar has a dedicated childrens playroom.
Please note that facilities are not supervised unless we have children’s hosts on board, as specified in the main brochure. Please note that there are no dedicated child facilities on Black Prince.
Babysitting
We regret that we are not able to offer any babysitting service.
Church Services
After breakfast on Sundays at sea a Christian service with
prayers and readings will be held, led by the Cruise Director.
During Christmas and Easter cruises there will be a Chaplain
on board who will lead multi-denominational services.
Cocktail Parties
All passengers will be invited to the Welcome Cocktail Party hosted by the Captain. This party will enable you to meet our staff on board and help you to get to know your fellow guests. A Farewell Party is also held on the penultimate night. Various other cocktail parties may be held throughout the duration of the cruise, for example for members of our Oceans Club.
In addition you may wish to host your own private party at a named venue of your choice on board. Personalised invitations can be delivered to your guests’ cabins on request.
