We chose Cunard because it was named as a Northern Lights Cruise. We wanted to see Norway, Northern Lights and Viking Villages.
The Cunard transfers to get to the ship and back were seamless. Great flights, the shuttle service was on time and accommodating both directions. The ship onboard and offboard process was seamless and easy.
The cabin steward and purser staff were very helpful and ...
My wife and I cruised on Iona last summer and apart from the poor service in the bars and main dining rooms due to a lack of staff we were very impressed. We found a big improvement in service this time in what turned out to be a very eventful cruise to Northern Europe. We had a fire in the Atrium on the day of boarding after a battery on a mobile scooter exploded and caught fire in a very ...
We recently completed a 14-day Search for the Northern Lights cruise to Norway. Although we had quite a few days with rough seas, the Island Princess handled the seas well. Our cabin was spacious and the balcony was larger than on many ships. Some of the cabin furnishings clearly need to be replaced. Our mini-suite couch and chair looked very worn. The bed also had clear indentations of where ...
Our first cruise to Norway and we were very lucky with the weather. Best embarkation we have ever had, everything went quickly and smoothly. Our cabin was good, clean and bright. Excellent bathroom and walk in shower. Dined at several of the venues. Particularly enjoyed the Norwegian tasting menu, Sindhu restaurant and dinner in the Pearl dining room. The Quays proved very popular and great for a ...
Fjords was a tick on the bucket list and having not cruised since 2020 we were excited about revisiting P&O onboard one of their newest ships. The ship did definitely not disappoint! Excellent public spaces,lovely decor so many places to visit. Loved the infinity pools and deck 8 hot tubs. Entertainment top class in Headliners theatre,710 club Limelight and Crows Nest. Food absolutely fab in ...
We picked the cruise for the destination, it suited our timelines and we wanted to see the Norwegian Fjords.
Overall I was impressed with the cabin and the staff were excellent, the facilities were good, however I did get frustrated at the amount of upselling, be that shops or the facilites on board including the very expensive "speciality dining". Compared to previous cruises with P&O and ...
We wanted a change from the Med, so Norway seemed like a pretty different cruise with something genuinely new to see. The fjords did not disappoint, everywhere you turn there is another stunning view. As for the ship, it's mostly well laid out with a beautiful piazza and it feels premium thoughout. The Take Five lounge is a bit of a waste, as Jazz isn't nearly as popular as someone seems to think ...
About us: We are a married couple in our late 50's early 60's. We have experienced over 20+ ocean cruises, and this was our first post Covid. Our experiences have been with Princess, Celebrity, RCCL, NCL and Carnival. We travel for the destinations and the ease of which cruising allows. I will cover the pre cruise travel, ship, ports, excursions and food.
Pre Cruise: We booked our own ...
This was our first cruise on Princess, although we have cruised many times on NCL and RCCL. The itinerary and price is what attracted us to this particular cruise of the Norwegian fjords. Overall, we were not disappointed.
We took care of our flights, hotel and transportation ourselves. We flew into LHR and took the excellent BlackBerry Car service (a private car with driver). We stayed at the ...
We departed Southampton and followed Norwegian Prima out of the port and into the English Channel. This seven night cruise was the third and final part of our "Three Cunard Queens" holiday and took us to the majestic fjords of southern Norway.
This ship is in great shape and the interior is opulent and elegant throughout. We noticed that exterior handrails were very weathered and required ...
