Crusin’ The Fjords

Never been on a cruise.  Never been interested.  I am now gliding through the dark waters of the wester Fjords of Norway upon the MS Nordlys on a 30 hour tour from Trondheim to Bergen.  Other than the handful of grandkids, I may be the youngest chap here with the average age looking to be - I’m gonna go with a 67.  And as far as I can tell, I am the only chap from the states.  (making me not really a chap)  About a dozen are French and the rest speak German.  I won’t assume that all are from Germany, but I will guess that most are.

It is not one of those monster cruise ships that double as floating mobile cities.  It probably sleeps 200 body’s, including staff.  I opted to pay half as much for a cabin without a window since there is great indoor and outdoor viewing and I am only using the cabin to sleep - maybe shower.  I kind of feel like DeCaprio taking the poor mans quarters in the hull with little chance of getting out of a sinking ship.  I shall stand watch on the bow scanning for icebergs... unless there is an app for that?
