Review summary

We went on this cruise for the views of the fjords and we were not disappointed. The views were fantastic. The ship was good and similar to other Royal cruises with the corporate focus.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
We spend about 20 minutes from taxi to being on ship. We went through security comparable to an airport.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We dislike the Windjammer because of the table situation we never get to eat together. One has to hold the table while the other get their food. Unless you want colder food you need to eat it as soon as you get to the table. Main dinning is slowly dying from lack of imagination and investments in to paid dinning experiences.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We enjoyed the quizzes and game shows but sometimes the venues were to small for the audience. Very large groups dominated the quizzes.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We enjoyed the head liners a magician and a comedian juggler.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Nearly flawless service everywhere.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Some of the furniture in the music hall and schooner bar were showing wear.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We were in a window cabin with a view from the 3rd deck. The cabin was clean and met our expectation.

Ship tip

There is a lot going on and it is easy to miss an event.

Olden, Norway

5 out of 5
The scenery was terrific! We took a nice bus tour to a National Park tourist station.

Flaam, Norway

5 out of 5
Steller views all around. The train ride while scenic did not offer may opportunities for photos because of the windows on the train.

Brussels, Belgium

4 out of 5
The excursion to the village and chocolate maker was fun.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We went on a post cruise excurision the best cruise exit plan. Getting our bags was very confusing but once we got them it was great.
