Review summary

boring and uneventful. There is not much to see in these ports and most towns are closed on Sunday. Excursions are over priced and not economical for a family. Food was good but not great. Would rather fly in and rent a car to drive.

Had to carry my luggage once off the ship. Why should I need to handle? Disney does not allow guests to carry luggage

InnocentDaz - their post referred to handling their luggage after the crew had deposited it on the port not transporting it from the ship.

I’m sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy your cruise. Iceland and Norway are two of the most expensive countries in Europe. For cheaper tours book privately, often half the price than the cruise line. Iceland and Norway are stunning for their natural beauty and landscapes, there so much to see and do in these places, whale watching, the golden circle or go to a geothermal lagoon to swim, to name a couple of things. NCL all you to leave your bags outside your room the day before and take it pair side for you in the morning, you just need to collect a coloured band from the reception desk. They give you a whole leaflet in your room explaining the process.
