Bit of a random one, but my wife and I are going to Norwegian Fjords later in the year. Hoping for some Norwegian help here. We are due to stop at Stavanger, Haugesund, Olden and Alesund.

I like my IPA, Craft beers and a good stout. I'm Irish and love my Guinness but don't travel to Norway to sit in an Irish bar having one. I'm just curious if there are are any bars in particular that people would recommend in any of these stops and if so any particular Norwegian Beers that are a must try?

Hi, my wife and I are sailing the Norwegian Fjords with P&O Iona in September. It's my wife's first cruise and my first one since I was 18 (now pushing 40).

We are looking at the option of the drinks package but from research most folks seem to be saying it's not worth it. I could easily have a good handful of beers a day when on holidays but my wife would maybe have only a smaller amount like a couple of rum and pepsi and a few cocktails.

Has anyone been on it recently that they could advise if it is worth it or not? The 4 port days assuming it does dock we will be off the boat in the morning and not back until after lunch anyway so it will be more afternoon/evenings drinks and then the days at sea that we would be using alcohol before 4pm. We also probably won't need soft drinks and special coffees (which I believe fall inside the package or pay extra for) until back from our day off the boat too.
