Really looking forward to your review.  Our group of six will board the Silhouette on April 10th.

Some have booked the Buck Island Snorkel tour, so anxious to hear how it went for you and any other tours you take.

Have a great time.....and anyone who hasn't been to the Norwegian fjords definitely need to book it!

Since I’m “obviously” sponsored by X  future cruises division and VisitNorway😂😂

We have time for some more Norwegian teasers during my breakfast🌟🇳🇴

 

For those sitting on the fence of a cruise or land based holiday to Norway🇳🇴 

This is the time! 

 

The NOK is very low.

1 USD = 10.60 NOK (normally 7-8NOK)

1 EUR = 11.70 NOK (normally 8-9NOK) 

So our trip to the US is 😵💫😵💫😵💫 for the financial director🙈

here you have plenty of good reasons to book a holiday in Norway🇳🇴 

 

Bon Boyage! 

Thank you so much @Norwaylady what I am seeing I think we may have to go back.  We are doing Haugesand, Geiranger, Flam & Bergen.  Wanted to do Flam since my Grandfather's Grandparents are from the Sjognefjord area.  You have made me more excited than I already was!!  Thanks again

You mentioned that you will be on the Silhouette on April 10th.  One of our favorite entertainers, Robert Neary, will be performing his Neil Diamond review.  Make sure you check out his performance.  You won't be disappointed.   I follow Robert's career and we talk from time to time.  Great guy with a lot of talent.

@Norwaylady  HI! 

 

Countess5 here and looking forward to ride along! My turn to sit home and live through you,😂

We were booked to sail Norway for 14 days back during that “C” word time and was canceled so will have to re-book.

 

We sailed Silhouette last year for 14 days during our winter cruise and love her! Would have sailed her again this year but she moved to Miami. I really like the expansion of the Sunset Bar sitting area. Wished Reflection and Equinox had done it or will do it.

 

Safe travels and great experiences!

 

Cheers!

Safe travels.

@Ken the cruiser you have a great cruise coming up! It has a great port of call listing👍🏻 

This is definitely a great sailing. Since you will have all types of scenery. It’s very different from Western Norway to Northern Norway. 
I could have booked this route for myself❤️

 

@countess5 Welcome home! Has been a pleasure following your adventure🥂 

 

Just finished my last team’s meeting before holiday🤩 So now it’s time to fix the rest on my must-do list before departure🤓

THANK YOU.  Love Neil Diamond!  Will definitely watch for this show.

First live concert I ever went to was Neil's back in the 60's when we were vacationing in Miami.

Needless to say it was great.

Amazing photos of Norway. A New York to Bergen cruise is currently top of our list. Just need to find a ship and cruise line that appeals and fits the budget!

I contacted him by email and unfortunately it seems he'll be on the Millenium, not the Silhouette during

our cruise in April.  🥲

  • suitcases packed 17.9kg & 12.6kg
  • cats delivered at grandparents 
  • Last crazy days at work
  • All paperwork printed in the travel map (ESTA approval, covid paperwork for US flight, marriage certificate, vaccination card, voucher for tour, hotel confirmation etc)
  • Checked in on our flights
  • Handbags prepared for departure 

 

 

We really hope spring break won’t be to crazy when we arrive in Miami.

We had it in the Norwegian news that it’s been extremely busy and stressful for the police and the locals in Miami/South Beach…..

 

Time to go to bed😴 

Tomorrow is travel day🙌🏻👍🏻😎🥂

 

Mum’s Taxi Service is picking us up at 7.15 am and first flight leaves at 09.30am to ARN.

I am so looking forward to another trip report by you - loved your last b2b - especially the secret for keeping Mr. Norwaylady happy - beer samplings!  Hope Miami isn’t too crazy, Ft. Lauderdale airport was packed last Saturday.

We arrived at the airport around 07.55. 

5.minutes queue for check in and document check for US. 

No wait in security, so comfy seated in the SAS Lounge International side🥰

 

Mr Norwaylady picked up some coffee and “Cheers to a grate flight” pre drink🥂

Hi - can I ask why you are taking your marriage certificate?? We’ll be travelling from Scotland to US in a few weeks - have I missed something which I need to bring? Thanks and safe journey 😊

We don’t have the same last name, so that’s first “problem”….
Next “problem” is that Norwaylady don’t look to old🙈 

So we have had problems in customs due to this…

And we have been married for 12,5years😂🥰 

So we just take precautions and have it in the travel documents.

Service in Plus is beverage and light snack. 

SAS Go has complementary coffee/Tea and items for purchase. 

 

Full flight today. Majority is transit passengers continuing on Thai Airways to BKK and US flights on SAS. 

Excellent 💨 wind, expected flight time 35.min…

Needed a little detour on de-ice before takeoff.

Typically clean Scandinavian menu. 

 

Next flight to MIA is at 13.00.
