We went for our 1st dinner in the dining room last evening. It was less than a success. The company and conversation were great but the rest left a lot to be desired. Jeannie called for a reservation for 8:00. We got there a little before. There are two entrances to the dining room – we went to one who said our table was ready but we had to go to the other entrance. We went to the other entrance and they told us to wait. After waiting 10 to 15 minutes while...

We arrived in Oslo mid morning. It was cloudy and cool but it was not raining. Oslo is very walkable and the ship docked near the city, so we did our own walking tour, including the Parliament and the Royal Palace. Oslo is a beautiful city. Many things are closed on Sunday so it was relaxed and pleasant. We then went back to the ship for a little rest and lunch. After lunch the sun broke out and it got warm. We toured the huge Akershus Fortress and Castle which w...

After breakfast at the hotel we took a walk to the waterfront and Nyhavn. We then went back, packed and took a taxi to the ship. Check in was easy and we were in our cabin before noon. As usual, we have an inside cabin. This one is noticeably larger than others we have had on Princess. This is a new ship, launched last year, and is the largest we have been on. We spent much of the afternoon exploring the ship. We really like most of it. It is lacking one major fe...

Tomorrow we board the Royal Princess. We spent our day in Copenhagen exploring the city, again walking over 12 miles. We had a full breakfast at the hotel - their Danish pastries were too good. After breakfast we strolled along the waterfront and then headed to Tivoli, the in city amusement park that gave Disney the inspiration for his parks. We had planned to go there this evening but it rained us out. We then headed to a market to get some wine for the cruise a...

We spent the morning after breakfast on another walk around Amsterdam. I guess we've gotten to know the city pretty well - we were asked by a couple of people for directions and were able to give them. After checking out, we walked to the train station which was only about half a mile away. We took the train to the airport. The flight to Copenhagen was thankfully uneventful. We originally planned to take the Metro (subway) to our hotel but we decided we had lugge...
