Norway - Rivers and Railways cruise. First time cruisers so make of this what you will.

Service, was good throughout though the pronunciation of English, yes, we know it is a world language, really was hard to follow sometimes - and we are well-used to multicultural London.

The numbers were well-managed at breakfast times when everyone arrived at 9am we thought. The all-inclusive drinks package was only just about worth it for us two though one of us was getting over an operation, the other about to have one and loosing weight. The floor shows reminded us of the end of the pier show at Cromer pier which many rave over but not us.

Cabin Review

Only the washed white wood effect of the cabin fittings detracted, it looked old and tired. Booking late we did not have an option of twins and the double definitely got in the way in this size of cabin. The only way to get near the window was to clamber over the bed.
