We loved our Baltic cruise and are super glad we were able to make it happen. So many highlights I have no idea where to begin.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
I felt the main dining room food was very good and the service was off the charts great. The buffet food was salty and I was extremely bummed the chef didn't change up the choices all 12 days. There were a couple different meats to choose from but all in all the exact same food was severed day after day. The salt was completely over the top. I would ask all of the chefs especially the head chef to taste the food themselves. We had dinner in the "specialty" dining rooms and were very disappointed. The steaks were literally warm. I sent mine back to get more heat and to be cooked more it came back exactly the same temperature. PLUS they add an additional 18% tip to the specialty restaurants which bring the tip to 36%!!!
Onboard Activities

Sadly the weather didn't permit too much outdoor activity. The fitness center was amazing.
Entertainment

The music was some of the best I have had in all my 25 cruises. The lineup was spectacular.

I have no kids
Service and Staff

Edgar and Polivar (sp) were the dynamic duo. They were exceptional and were the highlight of our trip. The specialty coffee guys were also a highlight. I looked forward to seeing them.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
Sadly the ship was not the cleanest. I had to ask our room attendant to vacuum our room right after we got on board and then again in 2 days.
The buffet area was not clean at all. I pointed this out to one of the head waiters and he thanked me. The next day the chairs and floor were exactly the same.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
I thought there was plenty of storage space in the room. The bed was very comfortable. The shower was way to small and the curtain had to be just perfect or water was everywhere.
We did the 21/2 tour and a Vodka tasting tour. If you are in Russia and don't speak the language you NEED to use the ship for all excusions as they know everything to see and explain everything in so much detail.
