Additional details
The highlights of the cruise were to see the Northern Lights and the total eclipse and I saw both, but the experience didn't stop there. The service provided by the crew was excellent and the staff were, with only one or two exceptions, very friendly.
I would have to say that the captain did a heroic job steering the ship into a patch of good weather with absolutely immaculate timing - it was cloudy just before the total eclipse and just after but for the main event it was perfect, almost like the ship had rolled away the curtains before and back afterwards. Absolutely fabulous once in a lifetime view.
Even without that I would have enjoyed the trip. The food was superb, there were plenty of on-board interests and activities of just unwinding and reading.
Cabin Review
Outside Cabin
The cabin was well-appointed and much roomier than I expected.The windows on deck 3 are portholes with a very heavy steel cover held up by a single chain. All looks very precarious to me and the crew seal them shut in rough weather to prevent nasty accidents which make them then no different from an inside cabin.(However for admiring the view the observation lounge at the top is the thing).But they were still comfortable and well-kept.
