We took this cruise as an ad on from the excellent Brim silent whale watching cruise earlier in the week. What a disappointment this was!
The cold weather and cold food were excellently paired! A fish starter that was barely warm was served, main course was allegedly fresh cod swimming in what may have been a sauce. We waited so long for the mains, sitting on the far starboard tables that almost all the rest of the diners had finished their food., so long in fact that we thought the food had run out for the final two tables. The cod was very dry and must have been frozen for a very long time, my one companion was unable to eat the supposed 'fresh' fish. Desert was fine. Passengers were fortunate in that they did see some Northern Lights that evening, as it not a guaranteed experience. Definitely foodwise not worth the money even at Norway inflated prices, I would advise to avoid this cruise and take a land tour which we had done earlier in the week!
