Iglu Cruise customer reviews for MS Trollfjord
The cruise was very enjoyable restaurant and bar staff great. The food was very good.
Great ship. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The outside arctic superior cabin was small but had surprisingly good amount of storage. Lovely hot powerful shower. Public areas were spacious and comfortable. The food was really delicious. Very well presented . The excursions were pretty expensive and we didn’t go on any as they did not appeal. Minor thing, but there was a tank with live crabs on the ship that I found quite unpleasant, I know they are only crabs, but it did seem cruel. As you would expect the alcohol was really expensive. Overall a good experience.
I found the ship to be very clean and very warm, the cabins were very small and not a lot of storage but we managed by putting suitcases under the bunks. The heated bathroom floor was brilliant. The onboard loud speaker system wasnt very clear in all public places. We didnt stay in ports for very long which was a bit sad as some of them looked very interesting, the scenery was worth every penny and we did see the northern lights. The food onboard was of a very high standard. The buffet wasnt open all the time and sometimes there was a long time between lunch and a set evening meal so hunger was an issue as food to buy on board was very expensive. The transfers were flawless and very quickly dealt with, superb. Being a little ship we felt all the rough seas.
