Braemar Norway 18th March

Morning,

We are first time cruisers and on the Braemar on 18th heading for Norway. Any 'top tips' welcome for anything and everything on board. Booked on a couple of trips but wondering about port calls, tipping, laundry service costs, absolutely anything you think might be of interest.

Thank you!

Welcome to Cruise Critic!

For help on port calls, go to the appropriate Ports of Call board on here.

Tipping is debited to your account automatically, so you don't need to do anything.

Laundry services are expensive. Just take enough clothes with you to last the trip. Or use the launderette.

Read the reviews for info on the ship herself.

Norway is a good place for your first cruise -- very safe and clean.

We tend not to take the ship's own excursions. That's largely because we don't like being herded round and it's usually cheaper to do your own thing.

At this time of year you will have no trouble getting on the Flam Railway on your own.

The network of Tourist Information places in Norway offers free wifi as do most of the Libraries in Norway.

Thank you for that. Any advice always appreciated. Now for the packing!

Have you booked on the new Cruiser session? That will give you an intro to life on board.
