Additional details
First ever cruise. Chose the Norwegian Fjords.
Smooth arrival, well directed by the port security and marshals to the car queue, which we only waited in for 10 minutes or so. Parking staff very efficient and knew our names as soon as car was directed to the drop off. Bags taken and gone, car driven away, then into the terminal and aboard within 15 minutes. No hassle. No stress. Very little queuing. Our boarding time was 1300 so on nice and early.
Once aboard you have your photo taken in the Atrium. At this stage being newbies you are still Rabbits in the headlights so it is all a bit over your head and you're looking round so much! They then direct you up to the Buffet. We found our Cabin 35 minutes later and suitcases were outside. Very good.
Cabin Review
Clean. Lots of storage. Small bathroom but we're not fat so who cares?
Nice Balcony. Warning for others booking G112 and its equivalent at Starboard side of ship, as it is next to a wider balcony forward so your view forward is blocked by the partition. This annoyed us on arrival but we soon accepted it. If you want the views you don't have to be stuck in your cabin do you? However, in our opinion it should be classed as an obstructed or limited view in the brochure.
Big TV. Wide choice of films. Fun to see the ship webcam and follow the progress of the ship on the navigation map.
Cabin made up twice daily. Cabin girl shy and polite. No problems at all.
Room service also available, with wide choice.
