Great series and observations. I enjoyed all your videos in this series and think you have a great eye for pointing out some positives and negatives on Prima without leaning too far either way. I subscribed to your channel. Thanks for the and effort to vlog and put out these videos!
It was very good, if not a bit expensive! The restaurant was Restaurant Apotekergata No. 5 - you can check out their website here: www.apotekergata5.no/en - hope that helps! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much! We had maybe an hour and a half total of walking, so including lunch and going up the mountain we were out for about 4 hours. Bergen itself is not very large and its easy to get around, but there are also plenty of taxis if you need one as well! If you plan to do some other activities outside of the main part of the city (like going up Ulriken, which is another big tourist attraction) then that will obviously take some more time. Hope that helps! 😊
Thanks for the question! Bergen itself is not actually in the fjords, but Geiranger (which we also visited on this cruise) is! The ship does take about 6 hours to cruise through the fjords so it is a great view!
We purchased the tour from Norway Excursions, but we purchased it on our own and not with the cruise line (who also organizes excursions that you can purchase). The town of Geiringer is right in the cruise port, so it doesn't cost anything to get there. Hope that helps!
We are going on a similar itinerary next summer on the Prima. I am looking for alternatives to the tour options offered by NCL- would you please share which companies you used for your Iceland and Norway excursions booked outside of NCL? Thank you!
We went in the early autumn as well. You should be fine with light/medium jackets, but make sure you check the weather forecast ahead of time to see if a cold snap is coming (could happen!). We would recommend you bring one regular jacket and probably a rain jacket, since it is likely you will see some rain that time of year in Norway especially. You can bring a pair of shorts, but we were only really able to wear them on one day, so Jeans is good (also you will want Jeans for sure in Iceland since some locations are very "buggy" there.
We were able to use credit cards for everything. None of the shops we went to accept Euros, but you might be able to find some that do (for a very bad exchange rate we are sure!).
@@theseasonedexpats it sounds very cool to get some local chow at each port. Did you just walk around and find something interesting? Do other countries require a tip like the US?

Thanks so much!!!
Beautiful video! Does the ship actually cruise the fjord to arrive at Bergen? Or to see the fjords you have to go in a specific tour?

Did you guys bought a tour or you guys just went on your own? How much does it cost to go from cruise port to the near town.
