09 May 2019 -- Day 1

 Arrived a little jet lagged after a quick connection in Amsterdam for Stockholm, but made it like "seasoned' travelers! 😉😉

 Got on the ship 3 hours before our room was ready, but the stewards were all so-o-o-o nice, because we could leave our carry-ons in our "unready" room. Thus we had a leisurely time to explore the ship and its amenities and then had a light lunch.  The weather is 57 deg., but the sun is warm.

 Mom found a Mahjongg set but she didn't bring her card. A sad oversight!😞

 The ship holds about 930 guests and the staff has been GREAT, very helpful.  The ship is small, but quite luxurious, and relatively new.  It's really a first class act!  And we are quite impressed thus far.  Even the laundromat and minibar are free!  😄😄

We are headed off to dinner and a movie under the stars, and so from Stockholm, we bid you a fond "good night"!

    Wow, love the stairway. What a cool feature to have that Video Screen "art" of where you are! That is quite helpful!! Your room is a nice size. One day, if you don't mind, take a photo of your bathroom. I'm curious about the size of it! AND LOVE that view of Stockholm! Was that from your stateroom balcony? We will be there in three weeks!!! :) :)

24 May 2019 -- Day 16 -- Oslo We are at the end of our Scandinavian Adventure! A day of touring the capital city, some of it in the sun and wind after our train ride, and some in the rain on Friday!  We started out yesterday afternoon with a leisurely walk from the hotel to the major sights in the downtown. The first stop was the  new opera house that is designed to represent a glacier falling into the  ocean and the sculpture in the water in front of it that depicts a sailing ship striking and iceberg. Next came the Old Oslo Cathedral and it's unique "Ring wall" that now houses shops and restaurants....... ...then the Parliament Building, ..the National Theater and its beautiful park and flower gardens, a beautiful old building that once was the finest hotel in Oslo. and at the end of the walking street the Royal Palace, where the King and Queen were in residence, evidenced by the flag of Norway flying in front. ...

22 May 2019 -- Day 14 -- Bergen, Norway Docking in the city at 8:00 am to a overcast, foggy, drizzly day.  So there's not much in the way of pictures, and most of them we took as we walked around the center city. The tour around Bergen and its various suburbs was very informative and we learned much about the area and its history.  However photos will have to remain in our memory banks as the opportunities were weather-interrupted.  We did manage to get those below.
