These are all great ports of call. Spend time investigating each one. I place this itinerary as one of the most memorable.

We are booked on the June 2021 cruise - for the third year in a row.  We bumped the 2019 cruise to 2020 and  current events cancelled the 2020 cruise.  Maybe three times is a charm ?

I preferred Annie Green Springs

Either Boone's Farm or Annie Green Springs. Can't remember which it was. My wife's younger brother asked her to buy him a bottle and a can of 7 UP. She jokingly asked him, "Only one can of 7 UP" and he, in all seriousness, replied, "Yeah, we like our drinks kind of strong".  I had to give my wife credit for not totally laughing out loud.  Ahhhhhh... Youth.

Go to the Roll Call for the cruise.  We are on the 12 June out of Southampton.  Roll Call is fairly active.

First it the OP meets the Midnight Son, take his picture so that we can see what he looks like 🤣

 

We did the cruse to the Midnight Sun in June last year.  We saw the sun for three full days.  It was a great cruise.  We went to the northern most point in Norway which was a bit cold so go prepared.  One port we visited the church of the rock - a church built into a large rock.

In the past I have had to deal with the Midnight Son. It was not fun!

IIRC, Strawberry Hill is (or was) a diner on US Highway 99 in the central valley of California.   We stopped there 30 years ago for breakfast and I got in so much trouble by not buying a trinket set of "When Pigs Fly" earrings desired by Mrs. Berfle.  This has turned into a many decades quest for pigs with wings mementos...
