The cruise was relaxing, and served the purpose of letting us recover from jet lag after a long flight from the West Coast before a demanding week in London. It was disappointing that one tour (in Copenhagen) was cut short, and another stop (Skagen) cancelled entirely.

Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
The cabin was as advertised. We were right that it was too chilly to need a balcony, but regretted the obstructed view and the lack of places to sit in the cabin.
We took the city tour, which left late--we appreciated being partly reimbursed for this. I would have skipped the stop at the little mermaid statue in favor is seeing more of the city, but we did get an impression of the handsome architecture. The second stop at the tourist center was dismaying: restrooms were flooded and filthy, though that's not the cruise line's fault.
Approaching Oslo through the fjord was the highlight of this cruise. We visited the three museums ofn the peninsula, of which the Viking museum was most impressive--though terribly crowded. I only wish we could have seen more of the city itself.
