Review summary

Really fun for a first cruise. Rained a lot at sea, but that is normal for Norway.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Super fast. From the time we got off the bus to walking on the ship was maybe 15-20 minutes. Would’ve been faster if the online check in recognized my passport when I checked in before.

Service and Staff

Every single staff member I met was friendly and extremely helpful.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Ship was pretty clean. The aesthetic in the cabin felt dated but even then still clean and functional.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Clean. Bathroom was a nice size. Pull out couch was placed between the bathroom and the regular bed. This made it impossible to go to the bathroom if the bed was pulled out in the middle of the night.

Ship tip

Use the stairs as much as possible. The elevators seemed busy all the time. Find a good time to eat at the windjammer. It was almost always full, I usually always ate outside near Rita’s Cantina.
