One of our ports it was a Sunday and everything was closed (the small town was a ghost town) except for a tourist office and one gift shop at the port. A few others just reminded us of any large city in the US. Unfortunately RCI docked at basically some industrial docks. At times there was a shuttle provided..but one in particular just dropped us off at the city bus station and you were on your own with no information given. Oslo we also were pretty far out and there was literally nothing at the dock...no info provided at all (yes even though we usually never complain this time we did complain onboard).
Also some had saved receipts from port stops to get a refund back on I believe tax in Norway but since Oslo was our last port they were told they would have to make an approx 30 min one way walk to the office that processed this. This is something that should have been told or one set up at our dock...as I said there was only one security guard at the gate of this far away port dock.
I may have over expected our port stops to be quaint towns and feel like we were actually in Norway. The only ports that lived up to this was Geiranger & Bergen. We are glad we did this cruise but certainly won't book it again. Sorry some may disagree but this was our personal opinion.
