let's go cruising Posted January 25, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 25, 2022 We are taking the Carnival Pride cruise on June 10, 2022. I'd like to learn what are the interesting things to see and do at each port and suggestions for excursions. Since everyone is different, we can just give information here for people to easily gather. (Yes, I'm doing this for all of the ports. I thought that's easier than one thread for all of the ports, since each cruise has its own ports.) Renee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renee Just booked this cruise a couple days ago and started looking at port activities, I’ll be sure to check back in on the threads. BTW I’m also from Ohio 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet&Carl Posted February 25, 2022 #4 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Stavenger is one of the easy ones to disembark and walk around. You pull up right in the city. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Scottishclover Posted February 26, 2022 #5 Share Posted February 26, 2022 If you hike at all, definitely go to pulpit rock. It’s doable on your own with a ferry then bus to get you to the trailhead. It was a bucket list hike for us and the views from the top we’re spectacular. Of course, a 3 hour hike is not everyone’s idea of fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travel Bear Posted April 18, 2022 #8 Share Posted April 18, 2022 We have tour booked and meet right at the port. This is our first stop in Norway. Is there an atm at the port to get tip money for tour operator? I know cc is good for everything else but wondering if i may need to exchange money before we board to have NOK for tipping. Ty.

Anubi Posted April 18, 2022 #9 Share Posted April 18, 2022 We want to see The Sword Monument, commemorating the Battle of Hafrsfjord and then walk around Stavanger. Is there an easy way to DIY this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travel Bear Posted May 1, 2022 #12 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I emailed the port and there are ATM's right at the port if cash needed for tour operator tips. I also checked it out on Google Maps and there should be more than enough time to exchange some money before I meet up with the tour. Another thing I found is a site called Viking House which for around 20.00 USD pp you can do a virtual reality show on vikings. Lasts about 15 minutes. Not super hi tech but sounds like a fun thing to do if time permits and it is in the buildings right by where the ship docks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonTowner Posted May 4, 2022 #13 Share Posted May 4, 2022 For information on what to do in Norwegian ports look on the tourist board website. VisitNorway.no Norway is more or less a cashless society, so use credit cards. We have two that do not charge for foreign transactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMMCruiser Posted May 6, 2022 #14 Share Posted May 6, 2022 We went to Godt Brød in Stavanger. Good pastries, and an easy walk from the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertGirl28 Posted October 22, 2022 #15 Share Posted October 22, 2022 We just got back from our In Search of the Northern Lights for 2022. There is a tour called Fjord Cruise Lysefjord & Preikestolen. You can book via the ship, Viator or directly. DO NOT book directly. They will not refund your money if the ship doesn't make port. Our captain canceled the port call the night before due to a need to out run a storm. Those passengers who booked via Princess or Viator got a refund. I booked directly but was refused a refund.
