We went on "A Taste of the Arctic" cruise and after that taste, we now want a belly full!
From start to finish it was just extraordinary. We embarked without even realising (please remember we were first timers). I knew that an inside cabin would not be suitable for us but when we booked with the travel agents the only 3 rooms available were inside ones. Once on board at Reception we asked if there were upgrades available. Without any hesitation the Receptionist said there was - actually there were different upgrades available - outside cabin, mini suite, mini grande suite. We took a look at the mini suite which looked absolutely fine and then some! and were asked if we wanted to see the mini grande. We took a look and I fell in love all over again (this was our honeymoon!!). It was fabulous - big bay window that we sat it more often than not even though there was a sofa in the suite. Instead of just looking straight ahead we could look three ways - missing none of the wonderful scenery and gorgeous skies that cannot be described - it's a must to see them for yourself.
We took the opportunity to disembark in Alesund and had a quick mooch around but were itching to get back on the ship! We also took a city walk (unaccompanied) in Trondheim which was lovely but, once again, we wanted to get back on board.
Enormous! - Big bay window, great seating area with TV, Tea / Coffee facilities - mini bar - Fresh Fruit - Thermostatic heating - wonderfully comfortable beds, bathroom (corner bath / shower / washbasin / wc). Plenty of storage space - dressing room area (with blankets to use on deck and bathrobes to use .... well .....).
