G312 Iona to Fjords

[Cpt Pugwash]

I booked this cruise today and as the last time i visited Stavanger it was a Public Holiday and most places were shut so looked up Public Holidays for this year and May 1st is one in Norway.

Guess what date Iona is visiting Stavanger? 😞

Either that or they've heard i'm returning. 😞😞😞

Oh dear.... Maybe an excursion is called for.

I've picked my excursion to Pulpit Rock but will wait till nearer the time to see what the weather is going to be like.

We did a cruise over the week of the Diamond Jubilee.  Denmark, Sweden and Norway.

 

Copenhagen visit was on June 5th a Danish national holiday, the day after we stopped in Helsingbord.  6th June is Swedish national holiday!

That's more than just bad luck, are you sure nobody has a Voodoo Doll of you and was sticking pins in it.? 😀

Looked at that after i came back the last time as the company  that does the P&O trip is just the other side of bay but this year P&O is actually a few pounds cheaper and  the company only does a 3pm sailing that day.

We were there in July with Celebrity. We left on the trip about 10.00am. It was about half the Celebrity price. We did a couple of P&O excursions last year in the Med. Pretty decent prices.

We visited the Fjords in May 2019 on Arcadia. The weather was fabulous. Going in July on Iona, hoping for the same.
