    @xmezzy8902 Před rokem +2

    Great video . We have been cruising the med and Canary Islands past 8 years , But due to my electric wheelchair being damaged twice when being loaded on or off the plane , we have decided to look at sailing from Southampton instead. Probably raking in a Fjord cruise.
    Our only worries are how suitable are the ports/towns for wheelchair users. We gave no worries about being on ship in the chair , it’s just going ashore in new unknown ports.

    • @scottescapes
      @scottescapes  Před rokem

      Thank you! Fantastic option to sail from Southampton. I cannot speak for each port, but I know P&O Cruises will ensure you can get on/off OK, and let you know which shore experiences are suitable. But please have a chat with their customer service to be sure :)

    I can tell you were on the week before us because you had the good weather. We did the Pulpit Rock hike where we didn't see anything, Loen Skylift and a tour of Ålesund when we couldn't port at Hellesylt or Haugesund.

    @TonyAHorbury Před 2 lety +1

    Thanks for your very well put together video which was informative. I've only sailed twice and both times were cunard. I wanted a balcony for the fjords and as a solo passenger it works out expensive on cunard. So I've booked this afternoon a deluxe balcony mid ship as I'm not great if too much movement for two years timeas got other things booked before then. I've read quite a few negative reviews but your video has reassured me.

    I plan on taking this cruise the first week of September 24. Never been to Britain or Norway and looking at your videos I’m getting excited about it. 😀
    Just one question though, I’m planning on taking my mum and she can’t climb those stairs and trails. You spoke of a cable car in one spot and a mini bus on another. Is this tour a somewhat limited mobility person friendly or would it be a mistake taking my mum with?

  • @laura72339

    So it's worth paying for balcony rather than just sea view? I was worried it would be too cold but I do like the thought of sitting out with my coffee watching that beautiful landscape

    • @scottescapes
      @scottescapes  Před rokem

      My opinion is it's definitely worth it, for the fresh air and amazing views, but it does generally cost a fair bit more. It will depend what season you travel for how cold it is! :D

It looked like a flock of seagulls at meal times in the horizon, and to top it all off I came home with covid. A family member who has been on loads of cruise holidays said "it was the worst cruise he had ever been on and from now on he will go with Royal Caribbean.

      I was on the same cruise Tony. I feel like I saw more glacial valley going for a drive through Snowdonia. Poor food. Poor entertainment. Ship reminiscent of a car ferry. No day time activities for their obviously planned 4 days at sea. I had to go to the cinema 3 times to ease the boredom. Low availability of nice beers. Pinged for covid contact from the farcical disembarkation. Immediately booked a cruise with Royal Caribbean next year out of protest.
