“Kicker” here very much feels like somebody putting the boot in. I did a lot of groundwork for this, but apparently no one is aware of the things they are responsible for, even when they are the things they are complaining about us not doing.

3 months I think… sometime in june/july for early October

Also, check their website for offers regularly - when I booked it was because they were offering 20% discount, waived single supplement & 2000 krone on-board spending money for the dates I booked

Yes - I did a bunch of the excursions (too many probably because I didn’t get much time for souvenir shopping or exploring the towns myself). The smaller boat was the draw for me, and we’ve gone into some pretty narrow , very beautiful fjords.

Lol, I am literally reading this while on a Norwegian fjord cruise. I went with hurtigruten.com Coastal Express cruise from Bergen to Kirkenes.
