Cold rainy day in Oslo we have decided to do the hop on hop off bus due to the weather. They are right outside the ship. The walk into town doesn't seem far. The two towers in this photo is city hall which is closed due to it being Sunday
We are docked at Akershus fortress

Yes those were, there were a few others in Terminal 5 that were not as clearly marked and I went up to them to check if they were ATM's which they really looked as they were and can see people mistake them

No ATm's they were all currency exchange. A few looked like ATM's but when I looked closely in teeny tiny letters Travelex was printed on there. Others clearly notes they were currency exchange machines .

I see you're headed out into the proper English Channel now. Looks a tad busy out there! Hope it's not too choppy.

Wasn't bad at all and today the Seas are calm. A bit chilly but not cold. Enjoying the fresh air. Tomorrow is Oslo.
No Guinness on tap in the pub. They said they didn't get delivery of it. Husband is disappointed a bit [emoji3]

I think it's normal for cruises out of the UK to have higher drink package allowances because the published drink prices on those cruises typically include the 18% gratuity.
The drink prices do include the 18% gratuity noticed it on the slip we had to sign. We are not doing the drink package

We booked a private two day tour in St Petersburg with Travel With Eagles. Other than that it will be DIY. We like to wander around and pop in wherever it interests us.

We are sailing this week, June 2, 2017, on the Navigator of the Seas on a Baltic Itinerary. We are in a Grand suite. I am hoping to post while traveling, Of course it will depend on internet speed. If anyone has any questions post them here and I will try and get answers.
We will be in London for two nights before the cruise.
Itinerary is 12 nights - round trip Southampton, visiting Oslo, Copenhagen, Helsinki, overnight in St Petersburg Russia, Tallin and Brugges.
Received the welcome email from concierge five days prior to cruise start date. It was a standard letter listing the perks of being in the suite. I had emailed concierge last Monday, followed up on Wednesday and followed up once I received the welcome email, asking about a reservation we wanted to make on the ship as the cruise planner is not listing it on the correct date according to the Food and Beverage manager. No response to any of my emails. The Bottomless Brunch is supposed to be on a sea day, on the cruise planner it is listed on the day we are in Brugges which according to F&B manager that is not correct.
Transfers - we are using a private car service from Heathrow to our hotel in London, he was recommended by a friend who travels to London often. Transfers from our hotel to Southampton and from the ship back to the airport we are using Smithsforairports. They were very responsive to all my questions.

Were just back from the same cruise, it was the worst we've been on, not bad but not up to the usual standards. the entertainment was dreadful apart from the headliner acts who were great. The whole organisation of the entertainment was dreadful and Drew Devine was not around apart from to introduce the show but had no interaction apart from farewell show when he played the drums .some night there was nothing on apart from the ice show but we weren't told ahead of time that there would be nothing else on .. The food was ok nothing special and the windjammer wasn't good at all maybe if you'd gone to speciality restaurants you'd feel differently. I wasn't aware of any venues being unavailable we went to them all. We've been on 9 different RCI ships and Navigator was a disappointment not like her sister ships at all I'm glad we're booked on Indy next I won't book Navigator until I hear better reports which hopefully will be when a new CD arrives
Someone who just returned posted a similar review about the Indy. A bad cruise is not fun. hope you have a good time on your next one. We are boarding the Navigator at the end of this week.
