We will be cruising on Allure in July and would like to know the prices for the specialty restaurants if anyone knows them, thanks.

After browsing through the excellent Copenhagen thread I thought about starting one for Iceland as well:

 

I'm a regular cruiser that lives in Reykjavik, Iceland and not affiliated with any tour companies. So if you have any questions about the Icelandic ports of call and surrounding attractions feel free to ask.

 

Main port: Reykjavik (Capital).

Secondary ports: Akureyri (largest town in the north of Iceland), Seydisfjordur (a small town on the east coast) and Isafjordur (a town in the rugged northwestern part of Iceland).

We will be in Reykjavik on July 8 and 9 and then in Akureyri on July 10th. We have just turned 50 and we are very active and adventurous. We would like to do private (just the 2 of us) tours and visit as many exciting places as possible.

Day 1: we arrive around 1:30 pm and are "thinking about renting a vehicle and doing the golden circle on our own. Then that evening go bar hopping

Day 2: we will be departing at 2 so we thought we'd do the blue lagoon.

Day 3: we'd love to do some hiking, see the detifoss and goddafoss water falls or anything else that's active.

Can you please give me your thoughts/suggestions/advice on what you think we could fit in and what tour companies, rental car agencies, bars/pubs would be useful and fun?

Also can you see the northern lights in July? If so do you know of a boat tour to see them? Something fun preferably with drinks and snacks? Thanks for your help

We will be in Reykjavik on July 8 and 9 with Celebrity Eclipse. Can you tell us where our ship will be?

Also do you have any suggestions on a car rental company that either picks up or delivers car to the cruise terminal area?

Thank you so much for all of the information you have provided. We will also be arriving in Reykjavik on July 8th at 1 pm on the Celebrity Eclipse and departing on Wed. July 9th at 2 pm. Then we will arrive in Akureyri on Thursday, July 10th at 9 am and depart at 7 pm. My husband and I are not interested in the typical tours, no bus tour!!! We have been given this great opportunity to visit Iceland and we want to do something adventurous.....hiking, biking, waterfalls, rafting. Can you please recommend something exciting to do on our own or on a private tour that will take us to parts of Iceland that the average person may not visit? We want to make the most of every second that we have. Thanks in advance for any information you can help us with.

On our April 10-17 cruise, it shows the Blue Planet on Friday and Saturday. Are these the same show?

Did you like the show? or not? What is it like? Thanks.

I am looking for a map of where the cruise ships dock and the shops/restaurants in town there.

does anyone have the map provided by Royal Caribbean in the cruise compass that you could share?
