To anybody who has been...
Are the meals & drinks very expensive on board?

The meals & drinks can be a bit more expensive than in the UK, depending on how much you would normally spend. There is a duty free shop on board, so you could buy some alcohol on board & have some drinks in your cabin before going for the evening entertainment. I will be taking snacks & drinks with me when I go.

Well I have booked us a trip.

I suppose that it would not be possible to book two consecutive trips. Going out on the first trip, not returning on the first trip and going back on the second.

You sound like a boring old sod, This is a cracking deal, 6 of us have booked and got a cabin each for just £6 so total cost £36 for 6 cabins. We will load up with sandwiches and beers so not to bothered about prices onboard.

Ideal for a get together with some mates

You make it sound so much fun:eek:

I went on one of these a couple of months ago with my husband and two small children. We really enjoyed it, it was different and a new experience for the kids. We took lots of food to eat, so didn't spend much on food and my husband actually won £80 on the fruit machines on board, so I got to treat myself in the duty free shop as a bonus!
We didn't spend much time in Stavanger, but we still really enjoyed having a quick look around, and I was impressed at how pretty it was.
I would thoroughly recommend it. If I can enjoy it with a 2 and 4 yr old in tow then anyone can!:rotfl:

Have just returned from the Amsterdam mini-cruise and I did find the meals pricey as I have two young children who just wouldn't eat enough to warrant the buffet on offer. However, for adults I think it worked out around £20 per head and it was about 50p cheaper to book online than it was to pay on the night.

We took a load of snacks and butties etc. as did a lot of other passengers as there were loads of places to eat them.

Hope everyone who books has a brill time, may your seas be calm!!!

did you're confirmation come through twice? Ours did, we also got a cancellation email this morning but when we logged in to look at the account, the system had actually made two booking (although the second confirmation number only had an extra /02 on it). So they have cancelled the second booking but the first one is still ok.

We went on this at easter, but we stayed on to the next port which was Bergen it did stop at stravanger first.

Ok Drinks 2 pints of lager came to £7.10
Breakfast was £8.00 Each (Buffett)

They do a eat what you like evening buffet i think was about £18 each (if you like fish you will be ok) lots of it.

The latitude cafe does burger and chips i think that was £12.50 each.

Also Norway is very expensive we went into a bar there and it was £5 a pint.

Also the entertainment is not very good same music every night.

To me this wasnt a Mini cruise more like the cross channel ferry you take to france. and you didnt get enough time there.

Just my opnion any questions please ask.

There's a long thread on a similar cruise here:

This should give you some idea of prices, food etc, but I wouldn't worry too much about any sick bag comments, this was in winter so the sea should be calmer for this one!

Hi just called them & they re-booked us.

However similar to yourself i noticed after re-booking that cancellation number was different to confirmation number.

So called back & they said i must have booked twice which i didn't & i would have got 2 confirmation emails not one as i did.

Anyways i have new email confirmation & they said they will refund me for the other booking , so all's well that ends well.:beer:
