    This was our first cruise experience, so we have nothing to compare DFDS Seaways against. However, we were delighted to be onboard, and found the ship (MS Princess of Norway) to be in good order. Overall I would say it was clean, in a good state or repair and well managed. The cabin we had was indeed small, but to be honest, we didn't really care. Service on board was generally poor, with waiting times for food sometimes in excess of 40 minutes. The evening buffet was very good, and we really enjoyed the crabs claws. Prices on board are expensive, but this may be true of most cruises. The biggest let-down, I think, was the entertainment. The bands (Royal Alligators 6/10 and Moccha 3/10) were generally poor and the magician tried hard but could not produce anything more than a 70's style show. Would we sail with DFDS again? Yes, DFDS are pricing at the bottom end of the market, and you get what you pay for. For a first cruise, it was a pleasant experience.

    I would not sail on the Princess of Norway again, it turned out to be a very expensive short break. Breakfast was cold, beer wine and spirits very expensive, smokers are made to feel like lepers, cabins far too small, noise in the cabin when the ship is sea is horrendous. The waiters are friendly.

    An enjoyable mini cruise spoiled by ship to hotel transfers there and and a similar experience on our return trip with us having to hire a taxis to take us back to the ship. DFDS's failure to respond to our complaint also not too good.

    One reason we took this trip with DFDS Seaways was because of the nightmare of queues at airports. This was almost as bad. The consideration given to the needs of the passengers when boarding and leaving would be more appropriate in a troop ship.
