YOLO Posted May 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Thank You! The medical team on-board the Anthem were wonderful. And I can't say enough how wonderful everyone in Norway has been, including the Hospital doctors in Forde. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowhiteheather Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 I'm heading out next year on this cruise, can not wait. Flying into England from Florida. I really want to fly into London and stay there a few nights because I've never been. Any advice on most affordable easiest way to get to cruise port from London? Thanks in advance!

YOLO Posted May 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 We flew British Airlines from BOS -> LHR and LHR -> BOS. Only direct flights we could find. We wanted to keep flight time at a minimum, due to my ill wife. Cost was not the priority. Flight time is about 6.5 hours. Due to the luggage we were carrying we wanted private transportation in England. Medical equipment, medical supplies, and a wheelchair on top of all our regular luggage for 2 weeks (B2B). So we used British Express Cars for our ground transportation - that worked out great for us. https://www.britishexpresscars.co.uk/ Stayed at the Premier Inn Stains upon Thames in London near LHR. It was very nice. https://www.premierinn.com/gb/en/hotels/england/surrey/staines/staines-upon-thames.html Also stayed at the Doubletree in Southampton which was OK, but wouldn't stay there again. https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/souhndi-doubletree-southampton/ It looks like next year the Anthem will not do Norway B2B, but there does seem to be 2 cruise choices. Which one are you sailing? I would love to come back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowhiteheather Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 May 12th 2024. Thanks for your info! YOLO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOLO Posted May 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 @snowhiteheather You are welcome. It looks like Anthem will not only do the Fjords next year on May 12th, but will do two possible B2Bs: Jun 14th + Jun 21st and Jul 5th + Jul 12th. We did ours in May and so I like that you picked that cruise. I would worry that Jun and Jul might have less snow left on the Fjord mountains and so you might not see as many waterfalls. I guess it is a trade-off of colder weather and more spectacular views vs warmer weather and less spectacular views... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those pics are beautiful, I can't wait! I need to plan all of my excursions. YOLO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
