We have been on about 14 cruises, various lines, and multiple HAL ones. This had it's share of good and bad and ugly.
The ship is getting old and a little shabby, but otherwise OK. They should paint the hallways of the staterooms another color other than drab gray to brighten things up. The old photos of ships and cruise liners from the past were nice, but better legends would have made them more interesting to look at and learn about.
Embarkation was a breeze for us. Our room was fine. Not very big, but OK. Drawers were so tiny as to be useless. We were in 7084, a balcony cabin. Here is some of the ugly I referred to: 1) a stinky, dirty ash tray was left on our balcony when we arrived, 2) we could hear our neighbors when they spoke or had the TV on, plus we could hear others talking outside as they waited for the elevator (NEVER had that happen before), 3) in spite of the "no-smoking on balconies" policy, every time we wanted to enjoy our balcony we got blasted with tobacco smoke from the other balconies..NOT nice!! On arrival the cabin had some areas covered with dust. Later in the cruise our cabin was kept spotless, our fruit replentished and our robes washed, so we were happy about that.

Magnificent city with lots to do and see. Go to Tivoli Gardens and have dinner there while all the lights come on - beautiful!
We went to the Munch Museum for a special exhibit of Munch and Van Gogh paintings. Then the National Gallery. Then the fortress and the resistance museum. Nice day!
We went on the "Northern Islands" tour. It was fine. Got some nice photos but not much else.
