Review summary

The cruise was very interesting and I would recommend it for anyone that can afford it. There's so much history to be discovered. This was my second Baltic cruise.

4 out of 5
The embarkation experience was very easy and streamlined

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We only ate two meals in the main dining room. After trying the Windjammer we ate the rest of our meals there.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We didn't do alot of the activities but the ones we did participate in were fun. We played bingo, the A - Z scavenger hunt and a game of Say what you see. I found the Casino to be easy and not as smoky as I was afraid it would be.

Children's Programs

The 11 year old didn't want to participate in any of the kids clubs

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone we encountered went above and beyond. The room staff were excellent, Jeronica was very good with our little one

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The cabin was clean when we arrived and was kept very clean during the cruise.

Ship tip

If you choose to eat at the Windjammer I recommend getting there when they open to hear the music and see the staff standing and welcoming all guests

Ports of call

Amsterdam, Netherlands

We arrived here 3 days before the cruise and found the city to be friendly. We did the tour of Anne Frank's hiding place which was very informative.

The disembarkation was the easiest I've ever encountered in any cruise. We had arranged transportation thru the cruise line for transportation to the airport.
