Sorry for no update yesterday, the internet was down again. As it was sold to us as new improved internet, I feel somewhat underwhelmed by it although most of the time it has been just about OK. For days when it isn’t working, and this was the second, so 20%, it seems as though you have to report it to reception in order to get the day refunded.

 

 

We found that our phones got decent 4G data almost the entire time the ship was in Norwegian waters, even in the fjord on the way into Alta. Roaming was included on our £6 Lebara plans. A lot cheaper than using the shipboard Internet.

This post has some of the drinks prices; http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1631879&highlight=dawn

Bear in mind you need to add the 15% gratuity to the $49 for the package too.

Didn't some cruise lines remove tipping from their Australian cruises because of cultural issues? As a Brit, it doesn't come naturally either. I'd rather the staff got paid a decent wage and the cruise fares were higher to compensate, but that's just me...............
