we saw this Norway itinerary advertised by a different travel agency to the one we have booked with for August at what looked like a very reasonable price so we signed up for it in an inside cabin. As we booked 7 months prior to travelling we were hoping to be given an upgrade to an ocean view which is the class of cabin we have opted for on our August trip to Iberia, but we ended up in an inside cabin on deck 10 and it was fine. We mentioned to another passenger that the only thing that bothered us about being inside was that we did not know what the weather was like and therefore didn`t know what clothes would be appropriate for the day, but we were told that channel 27 on our tv showed the front of the ship and we were then able to judge what the weather was like outside.

There were a few English channels on the tv but it was not always possible to get a picture owing to the coverage of the area we were in, but mostly we were able to get bbc world news which kept us up to date with what was happening at home.

The cabin was quite spacious when the beds were separated as you then had this large space in between which was far better than struggling with a small space either side of a double bed. The shower was very small and the curtain inadequate as no matter how you placed it, you always ended up with a wet bathroom floor, but apart from that we had no reason to complain as our towels were changed twice a day, the cabin stewardess came in whilst we were at breakfast to service the room and again whilst we were having our evening meal to turn down the beds and change the towels. This was really nice as it is the first time we have stayed anywhere that changed your towels for you every time you used them. Read more
