  1. Saw Rumors band tonight and I am so happy we caught this. It’s one of the greatest albums of all time and the band is incredible. Standing room only. Isn’t that how a rock show should be?
  2. Trust me! It looks much worse. You can actually climb down a little further.
  3. We are slowly getting out of the fjord. The beauty just doesn’t end. At times it’s reminiscent of Alaska, and other times it’s much more.
  4. @ontheweb we had the overnight in Akeuyri ok. We had a rough sea day from Iceland to Norway where all outdoor areas were closed.
  5. @McGarrett5oh I am glad I had my zip up jacket or a hoodie would be fine. It was about a ten degree Fahrenheit drop. @golden6911 I was so upset I didn’t read about them in my research. Not too upset since the views were stunning and the weather was perfect.
  6. @skatie Honestly, it’s not as bad as it looks. My partner doesn’t like to risk his life and he was (mostly) okay. I’m a nut and will go to any ledge today. We had lunch at Låna and got some chocolates for desert. Yum!!!!
  7. Thank you. Today was absolutely picture perfect. Forecast says rain for Bergen, so we are very lucky.
  8. It continues…. I want to add that Alesund and Geiranger have been the highlight of the trip, but with the late evening in alesund and early arrival today, it takes some endurance. I am really glad we went from Reykjavik to Southampton as the scenery keeps getting more majestic.
  9. Geiranger, Norway- There are no need for words. Perfect weather today. One of the best days of my life. I have a million photos. We did the Eagle Road / Dalsnibba Skywals through venture ashore. Fantastic guide. Highly recommend.
  10. Looking forward to your travels as I’m on the journey currently! Following along.
  11. Thanks for that advice! May just grab a few pieces of fruit the night before to hold us until we get off the boat.
  12. Hit the thermal spa and Indulge for dinner. It was very packed again, even with the ship being in port. Not sure what they can do, but I hope more seating is going into future plans. Catching the sun set in Alesund… superb!
  13. couldn’t agree more. There was an incident at the local where the waiter thought we ordered two burgers instead of three . After asking about the third burger he told us we only ordered two and then we asked for another one and he proceeded to bring us two again.
  14. We are on day 5 of our 10 day cruise and was hoping for the special. Have not seen one yet. I will be a gold member in a day or two and may take advantage of the 50% off.
  15. More photos from walking around and if you have it, the thermal spa will be needed for the late afternoon. The view from there is just as amazing!
  16. Made it to Alesund! This had been a dream stop of mine for many years. we had breakfast at the indulge food hall. Smart choice. Barely any crowds. We docked and climbed Aksla. Wear comfy shoes and be prepared to warm up as you climb. This place is heaven!
  17. Tonight was the Donna Summer show at 6:30 pm for us. I’m not big on disco, but obviously recognized most of the songs. The choreography and singing were so good! The storyline had me dozing off a few times. It lasted until almost 8pm. This theater beats any NCL ship! we then had dinner in Ondo with friends. I had the calzone which was good, followed by the short rib raviolis and carrots. Both were superb!! I make pasta at home and this had mine beat! Headed back and went out on the patio to see the sun fading in the distance at 10:35pm. So nice! Cannot wait for Alesund. Hope the weather is nice.
  18. You read my mind. I’m on the prima and asked about doing that and she said no. Bummer. Now which is the better value? CN or CF?
  19. Saw a peak of the vibe beach club during our sea day 😂 outdoor areas are closed due to weather. We had to rebook the go karts. Indulge food hall was so packed for lunch. Make sure to bring your patience. Some older guy had a menu and didn’t want to order off the iPads and literally screamed for a manager. The gym was crowded, but not as bad as I expected. the observation lounge is completely packed. I’m writing from there and every seat is full. I miss the OL from the Bliss. it may be the weather, but no signs of any whales
