Gardens at Stravenger - stunning.
Excursions around the fjords a- Olden.
Loved having a cocktail in the crows nest at the end of the day.

This was my first cruise and after reading some of the reviews I was slightly worried- but to no avail - we both had an excellent time.

The ship is beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean . The atrium was a relaxing place to have a coffee or evening cocktail. Despite the size of the ship , it never felt crowded and we were always able to find somewhere to sit and only once had to wait for a table in the restaurant. All the staff were courteous and the service throughout was good.

Food was variable but more good than bad. The choice was good and the service prompt. The buffet was always busy but on the few times we used it we were always able to get a seat. We ate in a few of the supplement restaurants- would really recommend the Lime light club and the Beach House - not so keen on the Epicurean.( fun for the experience but wouldn't do it again) although the afternoon tea was lovely.

Cabin Review

Cabin Outside balcony

Very comfortable - clean and well serviced. Great shower. Quiet location. Very close to laundry which was handy after we returned very wet one day.

Port Reviews

Southampton

Embarkation very smooth. On board within 30 minutes of allocated time.

Bergen

Took the ' Red Bus' which avoided long queues at the Venicular ( gets very busy so worth an early start)
