Review summary

This cruise provided me an opportunity to learn of Norway's history and it's current systems for addressing the needs of it's citizens.Met some friendly people with whom past cruising experiences were shared. Very dissatisfied that having booked this cruise since 2019 and recorded my birthday,l was shocked when l was not given even a birthday card which l have received on other cruises .
