Thanks I know you can't post links to fish extender groups however if you knew one I would be happy for you to pass me email along to them, if you are allowed to do that.

Yes they do not allow us to post links here.

 

[DISNEY FANTASY]

Anyone else joining?

 

[DISNEY FANTASY]

Took me some time to work that out.

Great so many people on our cruise are meeting up.

What is everyone planning in Bergen? I notice that the Norwegian ports do not have a lot of outside excursions from private companies geared to cruisers. The Disney Port Adventures that are currently posted look interesting, but are too long for our port time, which looks like it's just 5.5 hours. I would love to see the Hardangerfjord, but it doesn't seem possible. It seems like Bergen is potentially the most "fjordy" of the ports? But not if we don't have time to go see them.

Oslo seems easy enough to do on our own, but having a tough time with Bergen and Kristiansand (wanting to do more than just wander around the town if possible).

Yes.

Oslo, I have been there before on the Disney Magic we dock in / close to the centre of the city, directly opposite the Akershus fortress, you can go directly there, or to the city, an Oslo city pass will give you included access to many sites and free transport on the good public transport. I have booked a guide there.

Now yes we have funny early hours port times st the next two ports. Bergen the long port adventures can't run, but again we are close to the city, you can walk it, or go up the Funicular railway up to Mount Floyen for excellent views of the city and the inlet, a regular train service.

Kristiansand we again are close to town, you can get boat trips around the islands there.

If you haven't done so, book with Extreme Iceland for the three days there, they are very good and fir maximum enjoyment small groups is best. Scotland the two stops private tours are either booked up or close to being booked up already.

Did you say you had booked a helicopter tour from there? I honestly could not find any kind of excursion that meets up with our port times. There is one that goes to the Hardangerfjord (it may be part of the Norway in a Nutshell itinerary?) but it is an all day affair. I will check out the funicular. Maybe the views from there will be "fjordy" enough for me.

Kristiansand we again are close to town, you can get boat trips around the islands there.

I have emailed the tourist information folks about finding a boat trip, but haven't heard back. I couldn't find a website for any independent operators.

We are actually going to rent a minivan and drive around in Iceland. I think we will do the same in Scotland. I just can't find a minivan for rent in Invergordon!

This is turning out to be the trickiest cruise logistics-wise for us yet. I'm getting frustrated and anxious! (and that's not the way I want to feel since this is such an awesome itinerary!)

 

[DISNEY FANTASY]

For a helicopter in Bergen email ashild@fonnafly.no. I do not think they can run the long tours, but the tour operators will offer something. Some have to connect with railways and that may be an issue. Iceland if you self drive your brave, it's baron and rugged and I like the comfort of drivers who know the area with support so if a car breaks down they can sort it all out. For Invergoran email admin@invernesstours.com

Thanks for the info, Disney Fantasy. I have sent out some emails. My husband is a pretty fearless driver (we've driven everywhere from Malta to Bosnia to Paris to New York City), so we will probably stick with our plan to rent a vehicle in Iceland. I will buy the extra coverage, though!

Hello Disney Cruisers,
I have been searching the thread for info on the fish extender for our upcoming cruise on the Magic in July of 2016. I have read the policy and understand that you can only discuss the fish extender in our current DIS discussions. So the question is: Do we have a Fish Extender started? I agree with the current policy as some of the social media sites are not what they seem so I steer clear of them. Even the big FB. I sincerely hope that we can start seeing something in our thread about a FE start up. Thank you.

Thank you so much for getting back to me. I guess I will have to figure something else out. I choose not to have a ***** account. I find it hard to steer my kids away from social media if I am doing it myself. We have done the FE in the past and it was an amazing experience. My kids love that aspect of the cruise.

 

[TeamBalaton]

Thank you so much. You are awesome.
