We had had 4 nights in Copenhagen before the cruise with an AFS daughter having travelled from New Zealand with a fortnight stop in the UK to see families. So when we arrived at the port to embark we were really in "Holiday Mode" having had a really enjoyable pre-cruise holiday with family.
We arrived at the port by taxi and had a very easy passage from the taxi on to the ship, cases were whisked away and we carried our "carry-on" into the hall where everything went well as we were Platinum and no one was waiting in the Platinum line. Straight to the main dining room for a lazy lunch before going to out stateroom to unpack.
I spent quite a lot of time in the pool and walking round the deck, needed to make sure I didn't put on more than the regulation 1lb a day!! We ate in the MDRs for all three meals a day and had exactly 1 meal that we could make any adverse comment about. We really enjoyed our food, the service was great and we were able to order extra that were not always on the menu, notably crackers & cheese instead of dessert.

Port Reviews
Alesund
We really liked the trip out, it was very different to what we had done before. The Giske Church was so good we would have loved to have stayed longer, the story teller was excellent and the church was really interesting. Then all turned pear-shaped, the rain really settled in!! We would have loved to have the visit to the lighthouse on a dry and fine day and again to have had more time to take in all that was available.
Geiranger
Would have been excellent if we could have gone up the mountain but we were there early in the season. Eagle Road was very interesting, just like some NZ roads but with snow!! As we couldn't go to the top of the hills we had a very enjoyable time in the farmhouse. We had had brown goats cheese previously and was really interested in how it was made and were happy to make its "acquaintance" again. A very enjoyable day and very informative about life in rural Norway.
