10 Night Gems Of The Baltic (Copenhagen Roundtrip)

Sail date: August 01, 2006

Ship: Amsterdam

Cabin type: Oceanview

Review summary

The Amsterdam is an elegant ship - with beautiful decor and comfortable rooms, the most stable (the least amount of rolling)ship that I have cruised. The staff was exceptional as well as the food and entertainment - which I feel has been the best experience - this was our 3rd cruise. The sailing documents were great and gave clear information - our last cruise was with Royal Caribbean and it was impossible to find out how many formal nights there were - and many people didn't find out until they boarded the ship! The ship was immaculate! Check-in was great and quick.

We took the "West Coast Tour" which was a waste of time - it is such a beautiful city - it is best to just walk around.
Don't Miss: Visby itself is so picturesque and the people are great

Helsinki, Finland

Don't eat at the Farmer's Market - a person on the ship came down with food poisioning

Pros: service

We are cruising on this ship for our next cruise.  Our boarding pass told us how many formal nights there would be.  We are looking forward to it.  Enjoyed reading you review.  Gloria
