Has anyone used North Cape Tours (which appears to be the public bus?) for a trip to North Cape from Honningsvag. I know a lot use Blue Puffin, but with the number of things we want to do on this cruise and trying to mind our budget a little, I thought this may be a good alternative. TIA

So, we are arriving in Tromso on Monday June 3rd and by crowds, I don't mind seeing others on the trail, I just know some spots do have an over abundance of people that take away from the natural beauty of a spot. Thanks for the information. I will look into the hike you suggested a little more.

We were looking at this as we enjoy more natural surroundings and smaller "crowds". Plus this hike looked like it had some lovely views, but without an overly strenuous hike.

Has anyone done a car rental in Tromso before? I am trying to research it as we would like to do the Brosmetinden Hike and it appears the only option is to rent one at the airport. If anyone has done this or has more info, hoping you can help. Thanks in advance

We are sailing on Royal Caribbean's Jewel of the Seas and yes, we are in love with this itinerary.

My husband will be all over this, thanks for the detailed info

Thanks so much 🥰

Thank you very much 🥰

Hello, one of the things we really enjoy when travelling to new countries is trying some of their local cuisine. I have tried researching to see what specific foods would meet that bill for Norway, but other than Brunost and reindeer meat, I am not having much luck. If anyone has any suggestions, that would be appreciated. Or even restaurant suggestions, our itinerary is Geiranger, Molde, Honningsvag, Tromso, Flam, Alesund, Olden, Bergen. TIA

I am assuming you have completed your cruise now, hoping you would share your thoughts on the Bergtatt caves as we are thinking about this for next year. TIA.

Thanks so much for all that info. We are in Olden from 7am - 5pm, so nice to know we should have time to do both, if the weather is nice enough for the Loen Skylift. We are hoping in Flam to do both the railway and the Stegastein viewing platform (I had done a little research already on a few ports) we are there from 8am - 6pm.

Thank you, I do have the Amsterdam to Southampton one and while it wasn't bad, I was hoping for one that is a little more in depth and has more info on Norway itself. I will take a look at the others you suggested, plus Fodors Norway next time I am at the book store. Thank you.

Thanks, I will do that.

I did do a search for guidebooks and it came up with nothing.

Hello all, We are doing a Norwegian Fjords cruise next summer and I have started research to figure out what we want to do on this once in a lifetime trip. I haven't been able to find a good guidebook, so looking for suggestions on one, or suggestions for any of the ports we are going to, which are; Geiranger, Molde, Honninsvag, Tromso, Flam Alesund, Olden, Bergen. Thanks in advance

I see most 1 way cruises run in April or October and wondering which month is best?

Thank you, I will have to get someone else in our party to try this as this morning my check in on my app wouldn't let me check in myself and I had to do in on my computer. sigh......

Does anyone know if there is a way to check in the other couple in our party so they get the same check in time as us without their passports?

Thank you for the welcome and all the information. I think based on all your info and the other comments, that we will still try Princess and maybe look at something port intensive. That way we have lots to keep us busy each day on and off the ship. Thanks so much for a different perspective.

I think I would still like to try it regardless!

So, based on your wheelhouse comment, just curious who you would say the clientele is for Princess then? I see people bring kids on Princess ships (when they have been docked beside us at a port) and essentially my husband is just a big kid who likes to stay active.

The Celebrity cruise was one of their smaller ships many years ago and we chose it for itinerary and price. It was also a port intensive cruise, so we didn't mind the lack of activities. We did use the basketball court and the gym more than we do on Royal ships.

We have always cruised Royal Caribbean (with 1 NCL and one Celebrity). We would very much like to try other cruiselines and are thinking of Princess next. What we like about Royal is the number of activities to keep my husband busy (he gets easily bored and loves the rock climbing, surf simulator etc). Now we don't need those things, but are looking for recommendations on ships that would have the most things to keep an active person occupied. Thanks in advance.

We will see. An hour ago I had been given 2 x $50OBC (but not my refunded OBC that I used to buy the pass), now it has disappeared and I am back to the OBC amount I had left after buying the Premier pass.

Considering taking our 1st Transatlantic for our 30th Anniversary. JUst wondering if you would recommend a Minimum ship size? The worst seas we have felt were all on ships under 100,000 tons. I suspect that isn't a coincidence. But wondering if we should look at the going on the biggest "or widest " ships for a transatlantic to increase our chances of feeling any rough waters less. Would love to hear others experience and what their ship was. TIA
