We are on this same cruise, from what I have read we disembark in the morning like we normally would. We will also be on the Prima in January 2025 from NYC to Galveston so will have a chance to get to know the ship a little.

Thanks for sharing your amazing trip with us. Welcome back to the USA.

What or where is the BSI station? We are planning to stay 1 extra night in Reykjavik before flying to Copenhagen to start another trip next year. I like the idea of a car rental and that you could even park overnight at the pier. I just googled what a P3 spot was but couldn't find anything referring to BSI station. Did you do the 7 step ritual at Sky Lagoon, I did it last year and was so much fun? Did you try the rye bread ice cream at Cafe Loki? We did a food tour last year and that was one of our stops. Hope you had a great trip home.

I did a food tour when I was there last year and we stopped here, line moves quickly and it was just okay. If you have a chance look for rye bread ice cream which was amazing.

Just caught up, looks like an amazing trip and great planning on your part. Continue to have fun and make memories. Curious about cost to eat out. I was in Switzerland and Iceland last Year which are in the top 5 for most expensive.

@Seas2mountains was that a public bus you took to the Lagoon? I was in Reykjavik last November and did the Sky lagoon which was so much fun. Will have to keep this Lagoon in mind for next year.

Your pictures are beautiful and I cannot wait to go next year.

Nice that you have company, enjoy and have fun! Be sure and bring some summer clothing, when we were there in Sept. 2019 and mid June 2022 we definitely needed them, temps in 60's and 70's. Only time we needed to bundle up was by the glaciers.

Looking forward to this review as Japan is on my bucket list. Safe travels and have fun.

Love it, have never seen this on any of my NCL cruises. Hope its as good as it looks. Looks like its been amazing trip for the 2 of you. Enjoy the rest of your time.

Good luck with that, we had a complaint about 1 of our Panama Canal cruise excursions in April on the Sun and no one every got back to us. Hope they can do something for you.

Have a wonderful trip, will be doing this trip in August 2025. When cruise is over will spend extra night in Iceland (I was there last November with the girls and so enjoyed the beauty) then BF and I fly to Denmark, see Sweden then back to Norway for more time to explore the beautiful country. Figured I would not get back that way as I have other things to see and Copenhagen is only a 3 hour flight from Reykjavik so why not. Will be sailing the Prima for the first time in January from NYC to Galveston so look forward to your thoughts about this ship. Will be looking for ideas for the ports. Have fun!

Just an FYI: In 2018, plans were announced to ban all but zero-emissions cruise ships from three of Norway's fjords: Aurlandsfjord, Nærøyfjord and Geirangerfjord, starting in 2026. This is why I made sure to book my Norway cruise for next year. Not sure what cruise ships are ready for this.

Definitely, I have been to Alaska 3 times since Sept. 2019 (that is with cruising shut down for almost 18 months)and love Alaska but the pictures I have seen of Norway are stunning.

We are doing the 11 day from Southampton with stops in Belgium, Amsterdam, Norway and Iceland on Prima and then flying to Denmark onto Sweden and then more time in Norway. Doing the land trip with Gate 1. Look forward to both trips.

I want to do this trip but not in the heat as the scenery has been absolutely amazing. Doing Norway next year and cannot wait as I know that will exceed Alaska for scenery.

Great pictures, beautiful scenery. I love doing the local food tours, we are in Portugal in September and that is one of the things we plan on doing. Look forward to what's to come.

I think I see you waving to us. LOL. I love the ships that have the great outdoors or at least the waterfront.

I love doing a B2B and watching everyone get off and enjoying a nearly empty ship. January we are doing a SBS as are sailing on the Prima out of NYC-15 days and ending in Galveston. Spending the night in Galveston then boarding the Jubilee which will be our first Carnival cruise.

@TxTeach79you seem to be very lucky on the machines as I recall from previous trips. Good for you.

The Norway was the first ship I sailed on in 1980. I found my picture from boarding and was all dressed. Amazing how things have changed.

Enjoy your trip, will be following along. Have fun and safe travels.

Will be following along as I am doing my first Carnival cruise on the Jubilee in January. Have a blast.

@sid_9169feel better, hopefully you're on the upswing. I seem to always come down with bronchitis when I cruise and in April it was so bad had to visit the medical center as I still had 4 days to go before I got off the ship.

@TxTeach79 loved your review. With the recent reviews of Venezia now I want to cruise on this ship especially since its out of NYC. Doing my first Carnival cruise in January on Jubilee and want to see how that goes before booking another Carnival cruise. Just wondering if Carnival does any solo meetups like NCL does? Safe travels home, look forward to your next review with @HelloItsMeB.
