Additional details
As a young(ish) couple of 26 & 33; we are trying cruising as an alternative to having to fly to destinations abroad (due to me being sadly scared of flying). We chose to go on the Britanna for a 7 nights Fjord trip, from Southampton, as we went on a cruise a years ago with Celebrity from Southampton and loved the fact that we can park up the car and get on the ship straight away!
Embarkation was efficient; we were held for parking for only about 20 minutes, after which point we were on the ship within 30 minutes (my mum is a P&O fan and said that we experienced what sounded like a very efficient and quick embarkation for P&O).
The first thing we saw when we got on the ship was the lovely atrium area with its impressive centre feature. I know this has not been the most popular use of the centre of the ship, but as a seating area to have a drink, it seemed nice (however as the cruise went on, the cigarette smoke from on deck did ruin the ambiance somewhat, if you are sensitive to the smell of smoke).

Southampton
Efficient embarkation
Bergen
Interesting sea life centre (probably not worth it for the cost), phonicular railways was interesting and modern. Lake at the top was a hidden gem. Views stunning.
Alesund
Walked up many steps to on top of a hill for lovely views down on the town.
Stavanger
Not too much to do here, shopping opportunities. Oil Museum was very interesting.
