Bergen
These satellite dishes seem to be pointing almost horizontally. In fact they are at 30° above horizontal that is because Bergen is at 60° North and geostationary satellites are above the equator.

Nedre Bakklandet, Trondheim
Seen within yards of each other - perhaps one is
Nynorsk and one is
Bokmål! The Bokmål Wikipedia spells it with two kks:
Nedre Bakklandet. Claimed to be the longest street of all-wood houses (in the daily guide on the boat - not in Wikipedia)
Trondheim: Gamle Bybro, etc.
Trondheim: most northerly tram, etc.

On board
When this ship was built in 2002 the designers said "we will provide a space with a few computers so people can check their emails". In 2018 the computers have gone because anybody who wants internet access has brought an access device with them. And good quality Wi-Fi is available throughout the ship.
Before we went out I had bought 35G bytes of internet data access via the GSM network (mobile phone to you). I was very impressed with the mobile coverage considering we were out at sea and passing some very sparsely inhabited country.
Only once in the entire voyage did I notice a loss of GSM availability and that for about fifteen minutes only. Interestingly the on-board internet failed at the same time suggesting that the ship's internet is provided via GSM - I had assumed it came via satellite.
Builders' drawing of Trollfjord dated 2002. Note a transmission shaft running astern - perhaps the idea of generating electricity and using that to drive the propellers came later.
