Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Tremendous dining options with great service. No need to even seek out specialty dining rooms, although we did try the Aqualina.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Excellent spa and fitness center. Great space for the disco in the Looking Glass area. The shows were less than hoped for...but often missed parts of this due to late dining.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Common areas nicely designed and clean. A rich look, but not over the top.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Stateroom with a balcony...good space, except for cramped bathroom, but adequate nonetheless.

Ports of call

Helsinki, Finland

St. Petersburg, Russian Federation

Beautiful palaces...the frustration is the lack of freedom to wander about without a visa.

Loved the city. Compact and beautiful. Very expensive however. Great restaurants (ate at the Lydmar hotel, the Sturehof, and the Gondolen). Spent extra time here.
