Cabin was fine for what it was needed for sleeping, changing and showering. Had all we needed. My only issue was that the cabinets needed some attention as a door on one was coming off and draw handles where loose...

Ship tip

Evening meals get busy, so go early or as late as you can before each place shuts, all have different times..

Our favourite, Clean, great views, again lots of excursions, a massive gift shop, another great day out...

Bergen, Norway

4 out of 5
Nice to visit, but so many other cruise liners here, it became very very busy, not as clean and nice to look at as our other ports of call. If you go ashore go early to beat the crowds. It was like going to Folkstone Kent UK on a busy day...

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy, quick, came around to soon..... :(
