For a quick culinary report----I ate almost enough:

Steak Tartare
Tuna Tartare
Ahi Poke
Smoked Salmon
Gravlax
Herring, pickled and smoked
Raw scallops (first time)
Cod, salt and dried
Limitless shrimp and mussels
Octopus
Sushi and Sashimi
Bitterballen (Holland)
Fresh Fruit
Cheeses of all sorts
Fantastic breads and rolls
Beers of all origins
Wines of all regions

Raw and minimally processed sea food of all sorts are like garlic to me---there is nothing like too much

And----I lost 6 pounds while doing that

One down side, I had oysters rockefeller one evening----but only saw raw oysters once in Oslo---at $10/ea Too rich for my blood!

Added in edit: I should add that I had the oysters rockefeller as an appetizer one evening on the ship---then for good measure---I had them again as a desert

I'm curious as to which passenger line you traveled on. Wifey and I strongly prefer Princess, but that line no longer serves Key West, one of our Bucket List ports.

Oh, and I gained 5 lbs. on my latest 7-day cruise.

Viking---and I can't recommend them more highly. This is our second cruise and first sea cruise with them. This ship hosts 995 passengers. The river cruise long boats are less than 400.
To us this is one case where less is more
