MDR food slightly above average. Specialty restaurants too expensive, as usual, food was very good. Buffet outstanding.

Outside wall is just plywood separating the room from the Centrum. Music was very loud, especially on Elvis night. Bring ear plugs!

Ship tip

Veranda room off buffet nice for dining. Outdoor balconies on deck 5 are quiet, if the weather is nice.

Leave the city ASAP, don’t bother with a city tour. It is industrial and dull. Weekend nightlife supposed to be very good, did not try.

Poor little town 😀, so much potential! A native Inuit village. Visited the general store, two grocery stores, the small museum. Failed to find a place for a small lunch, as the nice-looking local sports bar was closed and the hotel restaurant was up too far on a hill. We really enjoyed walking and looking at a small group of crafters outside the visitor center, which was too jammed to shop in. Take it for what it is, a slice of daily life in the far north. But 10 hours there is too long, unless you get the helicopter tour, that is weather dependent. Those who went on the house visit really liked it, abundance of food.
