Norwegian Fjords Cruise Reviews

First Cruise with P & O and extremely disappointing. Definitely not good value for money. The ship is old and tired. We had a wonderful cabin steward, who was helpful and friendly. Our cabin was clean but in need of a whole refurbishment. The first night we dined in The Meridian, the service was awful, we waited 50 minutes for our starter, then 50 minutes for our main. The wine arrived with ...

Where to begin? The positives, embarkation was very quick and straightforward. Entertainment, there was some very good shows on board presented by the entertainment team - there was also even better shows in the skydome performed by an acrobatic group - PULSE the band also put on some good shows each night. I wouldn't like to name them but other acts we saw were really not ...

The greatest disappointment was the food which was universally poor and sometimes inedible. Even the specialist (££) restaurants did not have the highest standards. We had splashed out on a suite and expected a bit of pampering but other than priority boarding and a couple of cabin gifts we got nothing (£20 for drinks with the Officers? £20pp per day to use the private Retreat deck? £30pp for ...

We bought this cruise for a birthday event. This was our first cruise and after watching a number of cruise programmes on channel 5 I was apprehensive after booking it. We travelled for 5 hours to get to Southampton- we were starving and found there are no facilities at the Port terminal to eat. There was a cafe but it was shut. Embarkation was quick but not easy when you are a first time ...

We chose this cruise as, having cruised with various other cruise lines on much larger ships, we felt the smaller ship would suit our Norwegian Fjords cruise best. The ship's main foyer is tired and unimpressive. The decor is dated and dull. The cabin was far from 'superior' as advertised - being very tired, only having one single plug socket for a double occupancy with a shabbily added USB ...

We chose this cruise ship...The Ambience as it was smaller than other ships and thought our Fjord cruise would benefit from this. In reality this ship lacked a lot of the benefits of the larger cruise ships. The food was adequate but nothing special. The main restaurant, Borough Market closed at 10pm. Which meant if you wanted anything to eat there was nowhere to go...not even a few ...

We’ve just disembarked from Havila Capella. I’d give it a wide berth if I were you. We booked an excursion for which we were charged a lot money, it turned out the excursion was only possible in Winter. Not in August. It was refunded via bank wire then charged again on my credit card. I emailed them by they’ve sort of disappeared. Food is scanty. Portions are meager ok if you are on a diet or ...

This is our second Celebrity cruise, our previous being the Greek Isles on the Constellation four years ago, which inspired us to go again. Unfortunately it was a big let down from day one. It was billed as a “Norwegian Fjords” cruise but in reality there was only one Fjord experience into Olden with the other three stops relatively low lying shorelines into the ports (Bergen, Stavanger and ...

PO Cruise on Iona - Norwegian fjords, August 2023 This was our first post-covid cruise. My wife and I have cruised several times before and on this occasion we booked a balcony cabin for ourselves and one for our 19yo niece as a treat. We had watched several reviews of Iona on youtube and learnt a few useful tips, such as don't take a balcony cabin on the dreaded deck 8 (or 9 for that matter). ...

We just did nearly a month from 8/2. Our point of view - We have 60-+ days on Seabourn, nearly 100 on Regent and Oceania each and some Holland and Royal. The good - ship is brand new and is well appointed. Lectures and enrichment is good. the rest just isn’t for us - poor service - except for a few exceptions in the Chefs Table. Nobody remembers your preferences, the food repeated after 14 days, ...
