Reise til Norge - Day 1 - Southampton

With uncertainty about the well being of our car still in my mind, we were herded by a G4S retiree/reject into a toiletless shed for the longest cruise check-in queue I have yet experienced. Our wait of over 30 minutes gave us time to confirm that there was no-one on board we would actually want to talk to; it's a shame we'll have to dine with them. The large representation of the hard of moving should find the fjords challenging. On board, the ship does look nice and our cabin - we forgot we had ordered a mini-suite - is excellent and spacious. As we thrust away from the quay, I began to doubt that our location above the propellers was ideal. Still, we'll never be far away from the next screw. The first impression of the food was that it is visually poor but tasty. The internet manager was not available as advertised and no-one seemed to be able to contact him. Dinner was fairly good except for portion sizes and having to sit with six other people. Dinner was served efficiently by a largely sub-continental waiting staff. The waiters were generous with people’s requests for additional food. We bought our internet packages later.
