Review summary

Overall, this cruise is good; we didn't run into any issues. Everyone worked hard on the boat, and they are constantly busy serving. Wish it wasn't so crowded on the boat and wish we saw more grand fjords.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Not thrilled to have to pay for certain items (rib eye steaks and lobsters) in the dining rooms. The buffet on Lido deck feels crowded during breakfast and lunch. The New York Pizza and Deli is great. Overall, it is OK.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The talks are great except without Q&A. Wish there was more information for each port stop.

We are happy with the cabin. The shower is especially great. The balcony would be better with an umbrella to block the sun

You could not have an umbrella on your balcony as they would blow overboard when the ship is moving.
