Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main dining room was great. Our waiters, Hayden & Ford were terrific. Food was good. We loved the specialty restaurants. Food was great. I not a big buffet fan, but there were tons of choices and the staff was amazing.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Lots of choices but hard to find things we were interested in. Not a lot to do on sea days. We like trivia, bingo, lectures, movies, tea time. Needed more of those.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We went to all the shows. They were all enjoyable.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service was excellent everywhere on the ship. From the public bathrooms, Ocean View Café and especially our waiters in the main dining room and our room steward. Sue, the cruise director was terrific.

Ports of call

Southampton (London), England Did not visit port

Zeebrugge (Bruges), Belgium

1 out of 5
We missed our tour by four minutes, took a long time to get off ship because I have a scooter and had to wait for assistance so we ended up in seaside town, not Bruges. That was worse thing on our trip.

Copenhagen, Denmark

4 out of 5
Everything was good here except the handicap lifts by the stores by the dock were broken. Excursion was good.

Stockholm, Sweden

5 out of 5

Tallinn, Estonia

4 out of 5
Estonia was nice but our tour director could have focused on different things.

St. Petersburg, Russian Federation

5 out of 5
Favorite city-plenty of time to explore all the highlights. We had a private 3 day tour with an accessible van-though Sage Traveling. I highly recommend it to your handicap guests.

Warnemunde (Berlin), Germany

5 out of 5
Liked the port, would have loved to go to Berlin but I think it would have been a lot of driving for one day. Also, the cost was crazy for the accessible tour with a van. We were supposed to get a shared van but once again we lucked out an had a private tour.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy and quick.
