We, 2 ladies of 42 and 72, embarked at Bergen on the Kong Harald. The choice of ship was determined by the sailing date most convenient to us rather than by any reasoned choice. I suspect the newer boats of the fleet are all very similar. The only bad part of the whole holiday was the check in at the Bergen terminal, situated in a bleak desert of port installations. We were able to check in our luggage at the airport for delivery to our cabins. We arrived on the airport bus at 1pm to be met by one woman who showed no interest in this group of travelers, merely telling us we could not check in until 4pm and our cabins would not be available until 6pm. We had to ask for a map of Bergen and then follow this to the city center (10 minutes away). We saw a tourist "train" and did that ride, which meant we saw all there was to see and we still had time to visit the Hanseatic Museum and wander round the market, before going to check in. Look at a weather forecast and take appropriate clothing; if there is food offered on the plane eat it as lunch because you will be appalled at the prices! There is plenty to eat in the market, particularly fish, fruit and cakes and that would be cheaper than a restaurant.
We got our cabin at 6pm, on Deck 3 N grade. This seems to be the best option, outside with a good sized window, small, but perfectly adequate, with enough hanging space and drawers. The shower room is also small with basic toiletries. Everything was spotlessly clean and serviced each day. The temperature control was efficient, the beds comfortable. One folded up to make a settee.
The first night was an open buffet, dinner is usually in 2 sittings with a set menu. We were able to change our sitting and also ensure my daughter's dietary problem was dealt with. Throughout the food was plentiful; breakfast had everything anyone could want; cold meats, cheese, eggs, sausages, fruit, cereals etc. etc. Lunch was always a cold buffet, again plentiful, with a "hot " option, fresh fruit and mousse type desserts. The dinners were 3 courses, soup, meat or fish and vegetables and a dessert. These helpings were not large and some men were a bit disgruntled. The service was slow and sometimes the food had got lukewarm by the time it arrived. The solution is to eat well at lunch time!
