Thank you for your reply-only just saw it! What I took was more than acceptable as a lot of folk wore shorts and flip flops!! Not a great cruise- will most likely not go with Marella again.

We went on the Christmas and New Year cruise a few years ago and it was a bit of a hit and miss affair. We will all be dressing up on the 2 nights we can but other nights it tends to be fairly casual. It could be warm but the ship has air con so it can be a bit cool sometimes if you are wearing your strappy dress - ladies of course - can I say that these days??

We are on this cruise too and hubby is taking his dress up clothes. We quite enjoy that part of cruising but when we went with Marella a few years ago at Christmas it was a bit hit and miss. I am sure the people we are travelling with will dress up too. I would take what you feel comfortable in and also what weight you have left.

Does anyone know if there are water dispensers on board like there are on Marella Explorer

We just did this cruise and Haugesund is a bit of a bore. Not much to do so I suggest you plan something ahead. The tourist train was ok but expensive. We did see the midnight sun but maybe August it will be gone. We did a trip with Calm Giant in Alesund. Excellent-I can't say enough good things about it. We saw fabulous waterfalls and thick snow. Iggy the owner was our guide and a very funny guy he was. Look at his website for more info. Olden is beautiful, try and get to the glacier if you can. Not much doing in the other places so plan your time well and be aware that you have a long walk into town in Trondheim. Shuttles are 20$ each.
