They were not all naked and the park is a must in my opinion. ....Neil

If you buy the Oslo Pass at the cruise terminal, you get a good discount on the price.

One thing to note - it does not save queueing time at the museums. You still have to go to each ticket office, show your pass and be issued with a free ticket each time.
