"Take on me" (epic orchestra) by Mathias Fritsche

It’s so weird watching this. I was also on the ship with you. It was a shame that we couldn’t dock at Geiranger. I was looking to taking pictures and footage like you. Beautiful videography. This video is amazing to watch. Thank you 😊

[@nickyfurmage]

Ah, cool, I hope you had a great time. Very unfortunate at Geiranger for all of us! Our day at Olden was cool (next video) thanks for watching Emily👍

[@TheDillygent]

It looks stunning and your camerawork is superb, makes me feel like I'm there 😁

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks Dilly, appreciate it👍

[@easyedawg9160]

Gorgeous footage of the majestic Geirangerfjord and towering waterfalls. Thank you sir.

[@nickyfurmage]

You got it👍 the place is awesome!

[@simonsouth6184]

Stunning... absolutely lovin these vlogs... the only bit that gives me the creeps is the wide open sea...vast nothingness.. something eerie about it !!! The inlets and waterfulls are beautiful ... must vist oneday... 😊🇬🇧👍

[@nickyfurmage]

I wouldn't fancy such as a transatlantic crossing, if im honest. On most regular cruises, you're never really far from a coastline.

[@Catriona223]

Had to laugh at your comment about the 20 odd people in the pub doing the quiz. We’ve done the Fjords several times and sometimes we go on cruises just for the relaxation, onboard activities and food rather than the destination. It can be bliss staying onboard whilst everyone gets off and explores. My favourite Fjord cruises are during the midnight sun months where I can sit on the balcony for hours taking in the gorgeous scenery. During certain times/months of the year sunsets around 2am and rises again around 4am and its during this time that the scenery is absolutely stunning. Great vlogs!

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks Catrina, yeah i realised that almost straight away😆 It's awesome to just sit and watch all that scenery go by, amazing place!

[@louisetvancouver6161]

Stunning videography, understandable the changes in plants are a bit of a downer. When you said “to make matters worse” , I was fully expecting a shot of a Gucci bag on Claire’s arm and the receipt proving the purchase 😂

[@nickyfurmage]

😆🤣 that definitely would have made matters worse and finished me off for the day! Thanks for watching👍

[@28farmall]

I love waterfalls, I could watch all day!

[@nickyfurmage]

Theres no end of them! We litterally were travelling down that fjord for 4 hours.

[@mattsmith7991]

The problem with the lifeboats was that the tide was changing so there was a narrow window of time to leave the port. The captain was concerned that it would take too long to tender everyone back on board, creating a major safety issue if they couldn’t exit the port when they needed to. It was unfortunate but better safe than sorry. Captains don’t make those decisions lightly.

[@stephchesney-bryce9205]

Looks spectacular 😊

[@nickyfurmage]

Yeah, it's pretty awesome😎

[@user-om9zt7ob2u]

Well done Nicky and Claire 👏🎬. Great video as always and really catches the feelings on board. 😮Claire at least you had some window shopping 🛍️🛍️🛍️to take your mind off it for a while. 😅 Looking forward to next one and thanks again for these great videos. 🥂🏔️

[@nickyfurmage]

Appreciate you guys! Cheers George👍

[@mikeedwards9306]

Really liked the tip you shared on the additional drink recommendation. Good viewing and thank you!

[@Pennys4Vegas]

The scenery is tremendous. To bad about getting stuck on the ship with Nicky. Tough break Claire! 😂 Can only hope there was a good supply of budlight for ya.

[@nickyfurmage]

Gotta feel for the girl right! Red stripe dont have a light option, too bad😁

[@dianaallen3707]

Beautiful footage guys thanks for sharing 🍻

[@luvjets]

Hi N&C - OMG, I could fall in love with the scenery and views from the ship - the cliffs & waterfalls were quite amazing. I can't tell you how disappointed we were when you couldn't disembark - and to rub salt in the wound, seeing the other cruise ship tendering from their ship!🤬 Hopefully the next trek up the next river will work out. There was a slight silver lining that you got some of your fees refunded. Looking forward to the next vlog. Hugs to you both!!! 😎🛳❤

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks you guys! Yes amazing place, we moved onto Olden the next day and had a great time👍

[@sgraffrn]

So sorry you all couldn’t see Geiranger. Our Disney Adventure trip in 2019 was by coach, but we were on a ferry coming into the town and our coach took the road in. We stayed at the Hotel Union for two nights, hiked up to a goat farm and had one excursion to Lake Loen. We have considered doing a Norway cruise for another visit, but not sure I will convince Gretchen after your misfortune. 😢. You video work is still awesome!

[@nickyfurmage]

It was still an awesome trip I'd recommend. My guess is that doesn't happen very often, and we were just unfortunate that day.

[@lynnfurmage3093]

Fantastic vlog as usual , better luck at the next stop ❤

[@huntingvegas]

Absolutely stunning scenery, your footage and editing is incredible.

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks! Always great support👍❤️

[@wks4511]

Nicky sporting his Raider and Padres gear on the trip, nice. Sorry to see things didn't work out on this leg of the trip. Hopefully the rest of the cruise is smooth. We'll be watching. 👍

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks👍 yeah i got a bit of a thing for picking up caps for the origianl places.

[@CruiseLife22]

Great video and i love the footage you have captured. I recall this day only because I saw the Geiranger live web cam online and i knew there were "issues". Gutted for you guys not being able to get off the ship. If you really want to see what the rib tour was like, we put something together on our channel which is worth watching albeit nothing like actually experiencing the real thing. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your trip!

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks, yeah, it was such a shame, but we got to see the place it was stunning! Thanks for watching, ill check it out👍

[@kevinj6497]

Beautiful videos of the scenery in the fjords. I really like your music pairings with these scenes. I wonder if Anthem doesn't normally tender they really weren't prepared to get it done.

[@nickyfurmage]

I dont know, but the spent about 4 hours saying what they gonna do and coming up with different excuses throughout the day!

[@nickhunt16]

I hadn’t watched this when I commented on your first video but yeah I can see why you may not be going cruising again in a hurry! I mean the views look stunning though and well worth seeing! As a few people have already mentioned incredible videography

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks mate, it didnt really spoil the trip so much but was quite annoying at the time!

[@TheCoinShow88]

Wow! What a place?! Feels like we’re watching National Geographic

[@nickyfurmage]

Yeah, that place is stunning, beautiful country. Thanks for catching up with a double bill👍

[@TheLasVegasCouple]

Oh guys, gutted that you lost part of your trip… nonetheless, another stunning vlog! The peaks and troughs of cruising hey! Really appreciate you showing the downs as well as the highs, although it still look bloody beautiful from where we were looking! Really don’t understand how another boat could safely tender and this ship couldn’t 🤯 Claire causally leaning on the Louis Vuitton counter, whilst contemplating visiting the Chanel store was brilliant! Fingers crossed you were able make the most of the rest of your trip ❤

[@nickyfurmage]

Yes it was quite dissapointing but some great sights nevertheless! Not being in control of things like that is one thing i dont like about cruising. Claire can lean on that counter all she wants 😆

[@rhondalockrey9592]

Beautiful scenery love seeing all the waterfalls. Since you have video proof of tenders going from Holland ship think you should message some higher ups about their decision of not using tenders to get you off when another ship could. But hopefully you had a good time anyway on the ship. The real danger was Claire almost buying an expensive purse lol

[@nickyfurmage]

Yeah she dangerous alright😆 Seemed pretty embarrassing on their part, alot of people were complaining about it as they kept making different excuses.

[@VegasBebe]

beauty footage & editing Nicky, well done 🙏 Sure was a little wtf moment at the end there with the other ship 😬

[@nickyfurmage]

Yeah that was there before we arrived too, tendering all day 😆 Thanks for dropping by Crystal❤️👍

[@jamiehellaby115]

Love it mate!!

[@nickyfurmage]

In 1 minute 😆

[@jamiehellaby115]

@@nickyfurmage does that mean I win a prize?? Take me and the wife with you next time! 😆

[@fly_neil]

Good video. Just watched as we do same port on Anthem in May. Hope they’ve sorted the issues. Seems odd they blamed the ramp issue on weather, and couldn’t tender as Holland America did.

[@nickyfurmage]

It was still a great trip. dont let it put u off. It was very windy that day unfortunately. Thanks for watching👍

[@martinholzmann225]

Hi, great video! Camera, sound, everything seems so professional. It's such a bummer that Geiranger has been cancelled. We are going on a Fjord cruise (including Geiranger) this June and I hope everything will work as planned. What's that song at the end of the video?

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks mate, it was a great trip definitely recommend it👍 The track i think you mean is called "Im all out of love" by Katrina stone.

[@ridaziaa]

Such a shame you guys couldn't dock at Greinger - just wanted to ask if RC refunded or gave any compensation for the inconvenience?

[@nickyfurmage]

Not they didnt just the port taxes basically.

[@halfdome86]

What a shame you missed your port and tour but nevertheless, outstanding scenery. So so beautiful.

[@nickyfurmage]

Stunning place, and it's definitely worth visiting👍

[@ustophl]

Wonderful editing and choice of music. Kudos. I am contemplating taking this cruise in May 2024 but will only be able to get an inside cabin. Typically I avoid the Quantum and Oasis ships because they are designed with virtually no outside viewing areas. Would you recommend this trip for someone with an inside cabin?

[@nickyfurmage]

Id always opt for a balcony personally, but it won't spoil the experience for you. theres loads of viewing spots on the upper decks and even inside, such as the 270, i was up early changing around to different places onboard.

[@ltp959]

Such beautiful scenery! Thanks for this beautiful view…. Also another great example why we refuse to sail RC for these scenic routes. Incompetence from RC.

[@nickyfurmage]

Your welcome thanks for watching👍

[@eastwoodsfamilyvacations8783]

The Rib boat is amazing, sorry you missed it 😢

[@nickyfurmage]

I bet. It's pretty unfortunate we didn't get to experience that! Great place to visit, though nevertheless 👍

[@susanwilson434]

Sorry you missed that port. But it was beautiful!

[@nickyfurmage]

Yes it was, amazing place!

[@robinpeace6830]

My cruise on Anthem of the Seas is going to Alesund. Will we sail through this fjord?

[@nickyfurmage]

Alesund is at the mouth of the fjord on the coast, so i dont think so unless geiranger is on the itinerary.

[@H-Travels]

Great videos! Our of curiosity what month were you sailing to Norway? We are booked next June in Anthem to Norway. It is a bummer when ports get cancelled; especially when one has excursions booked; however that is the occasional challenge with cruising. What drone do you use? Thanks, James

[@nickyfurmage]

This was back in May this year. Thanks for watching. I use a DJI mini 2.👍

[@H-Travels]

@@nickyfurmage Thanks! We sail June 21st and we’re trying to gauge how frosty it will be 😅… we have just purchased the DJI Mini 3 Pro and looking forward to expanding our video capabilities… cheers, James

[@H-Travels]

@@nickyfurmage One additional question on your DJI Mini 2 did you do any higher than 500M footage? Here in the states it is possible with the DJI Mini 3 Pro to go much higher with updated settings and firmware. We sail to Bermuda at the end of this month, which will be all low level footage. Thanks (newbie to the drone world)…

[@nickyfurmage]

@James-it4cz You won't be going 500m high mate very unlikely, i only take mine to around 100 max, you dont need to really especially when your somewhere high up. Theres also the legal parameters to be cautions of too.

[@stevedahl8682]

Great videos! We are going on Anthem of the Seas in June. Do you have to register in Norway to use a drone there? Any other legal requirements to be aware of?@@nickyfurmage

[@warrenwolf4690]

What month were you in Norway. We will be there in August. What a shame you missed you RIB excursion. But flexibility is the watchword. Great scenery vids

[@nickyfurmage]

May, yeah, unfortunate but stunning place to see nevertheless👍

[@sidders10]

Gutted for you you guys😢. How frustrating. Hope we have better luck when we go. Keep clare away from those bloody handbags, my missus is getting ideas already 🫣

[@nickyfurmage]

I'll have words, mate! She's a bad influence😆

[@Matrix2021]

Aw guys what a shame about Geiranger 😕. Maybe the folk doing the pub quiz knew what was in store ☠️

[@nickyfurmage]

They probably done it 28 times already😆 Yeah, it was a shame, but got to see alot nevertheless👍

[@stuchan3326]

So close and yet so fjar. Oh well, whatcha gonna do? Make the best of it. Maybe buy a purse or something. That should make you both feel a little better. Well, probably not both of you. Each to their own. Still beautiful to see what we could see. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks!

[@nickyfurmage]

The place was awesome just an unfortunate day! Im glad the store was closed😆

We went in May.

Beautiful scenery. What time of the year is it there

[@nickyfurmage]

Late winter/spring

[@jKDC1987]

Sorry that happened guys, Claire made me lol - pub quiz , each to their own 😂

[@nickyfurmage]

Probably cruise veterans that been like 20 times, thanks for watching👍

[@johnford9430]

Claire deserves any purse she wants. Did you see any Northern Lights

[@nickyfurmage]

We didn't see any darkness to see anything like that. the winter months would be better for sure to check them out. And yeah she does, thats why she has a ton of them😆

[@AMexiBrit]

Sucks you got stuck on the ship and couldn't get of to do what you wanted. Great views though

[@nickyfurmage]

Amazing place! Well worth the visit.👍
