Shore leave comes but once a week.
No need call out the M.P.s; the transplanted and visiting Norwegians you'll meet around the smorgasbord and at the communal tables are an amiable lot, with perhaps not a single sailor among them. There's no need even to arrive particularly early, since the all-you-can-eat the lunch buffet ($18; Wednesday only) is exceptionally well supported by fresh platters arriving from the kitchen. Just sail on in, and enjoy.
