i'm on the Norse Legends cruise in September  2024.  I've heard good things about Bergen and Geiranger, so that's why I chose that one!

I was originally planning to cruise to Norway on HAL this summer, but due to a health issue I needed to postpone until next year.  I have another thread on the Northern Europe board asking for opinions about the differences between the 2 itineraries.  The option on Royal would be on the Anthem of the Seas for 7 nights and on HAL I would be looking at the Rotterdam also for 7 nights.  I will be cruising solo and this would be my first time on either line.  I am interested in good food, music especially blues and classical so HAL wins there, and enrichment/history.

 

My last cruise was in 2019 on Sky Princess, and I enjoyed that cruise for the most part as the food was generally good, the entertainment was enjoyable.  The one downside was that the ship felt crowded at times in the public areas, so that is one of my concerns with Anthem as it’s even bigger.  I have a bit of a mobility issue so I use a cane, so I won’t be using the bumper cars or other resort features on Anthem but I would join the trivia and would see the Rock of Ages show most likely.  The music walk on HAL is a big draw, and I’ve heard that there is a library?

 

HAL ends up being a bit more expensive all things considered but not enough to sway me one way or the other.  I’m comparing the HIA price against Royal price plus the cost of adding in Wi-Fi, gratuities, 1 specialty dinner and at least a non-alcoholic drinks package.

This place sounds delicious...over a year till my cruise....counting the days 🙂

i recommend maya chan to everyone.....I didn't get my reservation in on time to go this trip :(

We are going on a cruise in about a month to both Cozumel & Roatan. Which port is better to just relax on the beach and possibly snorkel? Which one is better to do an activity (sight seeing or adventure)? We are already going to the ruins in Belize on the same trip.

 

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks, Kim

Bodden Tours has a great ziplining tour in Roatan

Has anyone done this shore excursion on NCL or any other cruise line. The reviews I have seen seem to be negative because of the short amount of time you have there, a lot of the day is spent traveling. Thanks for any feedback

We used a company called RomeCabs and they were excellent. Picked us up from the airport (the driver was waiting for us outside the terminal with our name showing) and got us to our hotel. Then used them to get to the ship as well. NO problems at all. I highly recommend them.

If you need any other advice, feel free to ask!

Wondering if anyone has a preference as to whether to take a taxi or train to Aix from Marseille? First time in Europe, and looking for all of the help I can get...Thanks!:)

i was looking for this information too...are the taxi prices per person? Or that should be the total that i pay..i will have 5 in my group
