I just got off the ship and I am writing this review while sitting on a train headed th Bath, UK. So, all is fresh while I write.

My wife and I did the T/A cruise ont of Miami and then continued with this one back to back. There were actually 260 b2b passengers that stayed on from Miami for the Norway cruise. The dynamics of the passengers changed dramatically after Southampton. It became mostly British, although there were still many Americans. Of course, when you cruise it is common to have people from all over the world, but the British influence was definitely evident. Case in point, entertainment one night on the main stage was an English comedian - half his jokes I didn't know what he was talking about, though maybe 1/2 the audience laughed at the seemingly appropriate moment. So, I can't be positive about the comedian, but the rest of the shows were good. Some we saw twice since we were on back to back, and each time we enjoyed them better on second viewing. It is an excellent theater. We found it better to sit in the back for the loud productions and the acrobatic productions, and up close for the rest.

Being early in the season we could have had some bleak days in Norway, but on the contrary every day was gorgeous. Beautiful clear vistas. The only reason why it might have been nicer to go later into the Summer is that the only port that was green was Stavanger. We had some pretty snow in the mountains, but all the trees were very brown. Read more
