La Banca-Neilston Rd Cardosis-Storrie St Genova-Glasgow Rd Pendulum-Gauze St Little Steak House-George Place Jam Jar-Shuttle St Zambretto-Old Sneddon St Burger and Keg-Gilmour St I'd have no hesitation in using any of the above but if you want to push the boat out it's got to be........

As my wallet can testify after last Saturday's afternoon session. Nowhere near as expensive as Cork though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't be going there, cold and expensive, not my cup of tea. Brilliant place,I was there in Jan.It's only expensive if you go to the wrong pub at the wrong time.There's a Happy Hour culture and you can do a HH pub crawl and not pay more than £4 a pint. I'll be going back.........but first it's Amsterdam in Jan(Probably a more expensive place than Reykjavik) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said she wouldn't go back, nice to have been there and that's enough. Me, I prefer sunshine. I did plenty trips while in Iceland but as the thread had taken a turn to drink prices I thought I'd mention it. Yes,some things are expensive but you know that before you go.Why bother going if the prices are going to spoil it for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only place I've been where the drinks on the cruise ship were less than half the price of the drinks onshore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antrin Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Three April’s ago on Hurtigruten. https://www.hurtigruten.co.uk/destinations/norway/classic-voyage-south-kirkenes-bergen/ an onboard pint of lager was £9.00 at that time. At every port stop, we’d go for a walk in the town/village and if there was a bar we’d have a beer. Expensive - the price of an exotic, foreign trip - but you just had to swallow that... only “cruise” I’ve ever taken. I’d wholeheartedly recommend it.

Didn't like the trapped feeling, 3rd rate entertainment although the food was good which probably explained the amount of fat people. Getting off, although not always great, was the highlight. Trapped on a boat with hundreds of people from a generation that don't know how to use soap, hence the endless reports of norovirus on these ships. That would be my worse nightmare. The very thought makes me feel sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oi! Not only do we know how to use soap we still use soap. Not some lousy mix of chemicals, colourants and fake scents that comes in plastic bottles that are hardly ever re-cycled by your generation. Don't get me started on your generation - whatever that may be? It's hard to tell from your postings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the same cruise about 10 years ago at the Company’s expense. Our Norwegian workmates turned up armed with their hooch.....absolute carnage for those that drank it. Price of booze on the boat was horrific but we didn’t have to buy too many as the Company ponied up for about 80 % of drinks. Been to Norway a few times , expensive does not come close.
