Review summary

This cruise has been on our list for many years. It was worth the wait. Probably the best cruise we have ever taken. We really enjoyed Alaska, but the beauty of the fjords of Norway may surpass the beauty of Alaska. The ports were definitely better.

Food and Dining

We did the Club Class Dining. Service was quick and exceptional. Food was very good, but about the same you would get in regular dining.

Cabin / Stateroom

It was a mini-suite. It will be hard to go back to just a balcony in the future

Ports of call

Southampton (London), England

We took the Windsor tour on disembarkation day. It was a saturday and the crowds were unbelievable at Windsor castle. Because of the long lines we only able to be in the castle a little over 30 minutes. Only real disappointment on the trip
