The cruise was very fun and a highlight of our trip. In the beginning, everyone will crowd out on the deck and then the boat will hit high speeds to get to the fjord and many people will go inside. Then they will all come out when you're about to enter the fjord. For a short time, they will let you go outside in the front and that was very cool. There will be yummy cookies at the snack bar and they will sell out. Get one early if you want one. You can also bring your own snacks on board.

I purchased my tickets through the online portal about a month before our trip to Norway. I don't…read morebelieve you really have to do this because the line for ticket buying is pretty short and there are kiosks along the way inside to buy tickets. Also, if you happened to be in the line to buy tickets, you just enter afterwards, instead of waiting in the prepaid ticket line, it's kind of a cheat. At least that's what we observed. The line for the prepaid tickets was extremely long, going down the block for a bit but it did move fast. We got into line around 235 pm and we ready for the funicular around 3pm. For the length of the line, I thought this moved very fast. When you enter the gates to the funicular, be aware of the people counter. It counts down the amount of people that can enter. So if you're a party of 5 people and it says only 3 more can enter, you will be split up if you enter. There are like 5 gates so you have to pay attention if you want to stay with your party. There were MANY people who did not seem to understand this and started yelling at or crying to the kids working the line. There is nothing they can do, it's a safety issue and you will have to meet your party at the top of the mountain. Also, the last lane (most left handed) is for disabled people or people with strollers. It's kind of a d*ck move to go to that shorter line if you aren't one of these people or in a party with one. But karma hits hard and if you do try this little sneak, you'll probably end up waiting even longer because the special car it leads to has a small capacity and that line moves slow. Other than that, this funicular is a nice ride up and down the mountain, with plenty of spectacular views and cute moments to see.

We did a one night cruise as our way to travel from Bergen to Alesund Norway. It was about a 13…read morehour journey. We did get a cabin with an outside window. It was a small very basic cabin. You won't confuse this with a big cruise line. We did notice that some people did not get cabins and just slept overnight in lounge chairs in the one lounge. Not sure how many nights they allow that. If on a budget I could see why because for two of us (no food included) it was nearly $800. Without cabin it would be around $212! The ship is relatively small compared to the giants on the sea these days. We wandered around the ship it's nothing fancy. We slept OK but since it pulls into different ports in the middle of the night it can be loud. At least the seas were calm. We did eat at their buffet that evening and it was just OK. Not the best for $65 a person. We decided to skip breakfast since that buffet was close to $38. We spent the morning watching the beautiful Norwegian coast pass by before disembarking in Alesund at 10am. As a way to travel between these towns it's not cheap but a fun adventure!

This company has some housekeeping to take care of. I booked a 12 day cruise and have really mixed…read morefeelings. First of all travel in this part of the world is very expensive and I was hoping for better service. Parts of the crew like the expedition team, and most of the serving staff in the dining room were fantastic. But the reception team and housekeeping were not always pleasant. Heading north the reception team was excellent, but on the way back towards Bergen, not so much. They have an intern Sammy, who yelled at me for a solid five minutes because I was late boarding even after I apologized. I don't like spotlighting people, but I contacted the company with a complaint and so far no response. In the words of a crew member's toast,"Hurigruten is not a cruise, but a connection for the Norwegian people" I must agree. It is better to think of this boat line as a ferry and not so much a cruise expedition. They do not stop at ports for long so another reason why it's more like a ferry because you don't have much time to explore the different stops. Once I almost missed the ferry because it docked 15 minutes late which I didn't factor into the departure. time. Use it to get from point a to point B with a possible one or two night stay in the cabins, or if you want to be thrifty, just sleep in one of the lounges, but you have to expect there might be noise. Also, they need to do a better job cleaning the bathrooms in between trips because there was some mold at the base.

It's not really walkable so keep that in mind if you want to park and then walk the rest of your Bergen trip. The hotel was just okay. Eclectic decor filled the lobby. The staff were nice and smiling. It has parking but fills out so you have to pay the machine (same garage). Vile smell down there. I saw what I think was possibly sewerage draining down. Yuck. Spots are tiny and close together so parking can be an obstacle. The room wasn't that great. No AC so we had to rely on having the room windows open and listening to street sounds (including techno music at 3am) each night. Not much room left once we put our luggage down and we even moved a case back to the car to make room. Television was a bit wonky - kept trying to insist we use Chromecast and we had to unplug it a few times to get it to go back to normal television. The bathroom was small, and in every Scandinavian hotel apparently, flooded the floor each time we took a shower. The bed was pretty good. Mattress felt nice and the pillows were comfortable. Not a horrible place to stay but not close enough to walk downtown. There's a Kiwi grocery store right next door. The restaurant looked good but we never checked it out. I think the rooms were a bit overpriced for the size and what you got (and for the noise due to lack of AC). I likely would not stay in this chain again.
