Dress is pretty strict on formal nights. Dark suit with tie or dinner suit and bow tie although some did have some rather loud dinner suites and bow ties. Non formal nights it’s jacket with ties optional. I tended to not wear a tie on these nights. We had 2 formal nights and rest non formal.
Dining, we just did Britannia. Loved the breakfast in there and had the ultimate every day. Lido buffet was nice for lunch but you can be waited on in the Britannia. Ports , only one tender port. The rest we docked. Flam railway was expensive for what you got I thought and that was without paying the extortionate rate for booking on board. We sailed on the Victoria too. A very elegant and old fashioned ship. We enjoyed it that much we booked while onboard to do the Canaries this November. That way we get an extra $300 onboard spending money each as opposed to booking normally. Wine is expensive so we bought the wine package for wine with meal and had cocktails and beer elsewhere. Found cocktails were better value to say how much alcohol was in them. Beware that all drinks carry 15% surcharge |

A friend of mine in her mid 60s did a Saga holiday but not a cruise. Said she was the youngest by about 20 years.

that's a shame, we're not really dress up people either and were fine. I loved the ship, we slummed it in a balcony cabin and found it very comfortable
We docked at Bergen, Olden, Flam and Stavanger. Waking up the 2nd morning and looking out of our balcony at the fjords all around us was an experience i will never forget. |

Have a look at Celebrity! Formal nights had people dressed up to the hilt or men in shirt and tie in the dining rooms. I don’t like dressing up but can do smart and just wore black trousers and a nice top. Perfectly acceptable but Cunard are defo more formal than this.

We have booked a balcony cabin on Cunard so are looking forward to the views. We are not dress up people either but decided we could cope with seven or eight evenings being smart.
Can you wear trainers and casual clothes during the day. We are more used to Disney cruises which are much more relaxed. Going June will we need clothes for all weathers. Any tips greatly appreciated. |

Fred Olsen have some fab shorter length cruises, no formal nights on 5 night durations, including fjords.
They have introduced some great new entertainment too, silent discos, deck parties, a book club, and themed evenings for all calendar evets i.e. Valentines, St Patricks, etc. If you want to see photos you can check out my blog mybigfatcruise. Happy planning! Dont forget, cruising is for life, not just for christmas

We did the fjords with Royal Caribbean. Loved it. Not overly formal at all. They have formal nights, but don’t really enforce it.
We booked when there was an offer on. We got free drinks package and gratuities included. |
