We had champagne fountains on Aurora's world cruise last year.

It crossed my mind that IF it is happening, it might be in response to the launch of Iona. After all, servicing that many cabins twice a day is going to be a challenge.

There is a whole Ports section on CC to help you. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/456-caribbean/

I saw the Lights in the evening before leaving Tromso but the light pollution from the town made them faint. Alta is better.

You don't need to search. Iona is listed with the other ships. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/2434-iona-roll-calls/

There's lots of info on this thread. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/1936671-oriana-in-search-of-the-northern-lights/?tab=comments#comment-40943144

You need good thermal underwear and a waterproof coat, and ideally waterproof trousers. Snow boots or waterproof walking boots over which I used Yaktrax for the icy conditions. Silk liner gloves are useful for photography too. On board is fine but out on deck and ashore it can be cold - it was -25C when I went on the Northern Lights excursion! One of my best ever cruises.

i have to admit to buying a lot - I mean a LOT - of beautiful Christmas decs last time I was there in December. I am pretty sure they took credit cards. It was wonderful - cold but with flaming braziers to warm yourself beside and plenty of Gluwein to warm your insides.

Check out the Ports section of CC too.

It's easy to add yourself. Go to the Ventura Roll Calls and post it as a new thread.

OK, seems choose files link isn't working??
