342.0. "IHas anyone been on the Song of Norway? " by DNEAST::MCLAUGHLIN_P () Tue Jan 07 1992 10:31

         Hi,

         My husband and I and another couple are going on an 11 day cruise on
         the Song of Norway in April.  We will be flying out of Boston and 
         leaving from San Juan.  We are all celebrating wedding anniversaries
         and want it to be a really special trip.  We are all first timers and
         would appreciate any information or tips.   The cruise is carribean and
         we plan to take all island excursions and would like to snorkel.
         We want to make the most of our time on ship too and we all love to
         dress formal so tips on clothes and activities on ship would be great.
         After a long winter in Maine, we are really looking forward to April.

         Thanks,
         Patty McLaughlin

There are a few notes in here already about the Song of Norway.  Try doing a
DIR/TITLE=NORWAY or DIR/TITLE=SONG.

342.2Song of Norway and SS NorwayLEDDEV::CULLISONFri Jan 10 1992 09:1825
    I have not been on Song of Norway but RCCL is a very good cruise line.
    Just remember when you do DIR/TITLE=NORWAY as referred to in 342.1 that
    most of the information listed is for NCL's SS Norway which is a very
    large ship, Song of Norway is RCCL. Similar ship in RCCL would be
    Nordic Prince I believe. Nordic Prince and Song of Norway are both
    stretched versions of Sun Viking. The ships are not the newest in
    RCCL's fleet but RCCL keeps all of there ships in tip top shape.
    I been on cruises on older ships than Song of Norway and they were
    great.
    
    Most of the notes in general are good information for first time
    cruisers. If you like to dress then do it, plenty of people dress up
    really nice on formal nights, I would say 1/2 of the men would
    be in Tuxes. The rest in suits.
    
    Your choice for a first time cruise is excellent. Cannot go wrong with
    RCCL on any of their ships, great cruise line. I'd love to go on a 10
    day cruise some time, all of mine have been 7 day. Looking forward
    to my 8th cruise when I save the bucks.
    
    Have a good cruise, any questions just ask.
