Review summary

The BEST cruise we've ever been on! The Eclipse is a GREAT ship; the food was awesome and the wait staff was superb. The entertainment was "off the charts"..... different act every night and we saw every show in it's entirety. The ports were fantastic, especially St Petersburg and we chose this cruise so we could be in St Petersburg for 3 full days - highly recommend the 3 days here.

Stockholm, Sweden

5 out of 5
Did this on our own with a Stockholm Pass.... the HOHO ferry is the best way to go..... saw the Palace and don't miss the Changing of the Guard here - it lasted 35 minutes and was awesome! Walked through Gamla Stan, but the BEST visit was to the VASA Museum.... NOT TO BE MISSED!! It is awesome!

Tallinn, Estonia

5 out of 5
Did a private walking tour with SPB Tours. Excellent tour and amazing city..... may do on your own, but our tour guide was a lot of fun with great stories!

St. Petersburg, Russian Federation

This city BLEW US AWAY! Did a private 3 day excursion with SPB Tours and it was the BEST EVER!!! Highly recommend SPB Tours for St Petersburg!

5 out of 5
Did a private tour with SPB to Rostock with a train ride to Schwerin to see their amazing castle! Great trip.... already had been to Berlin so skipped that for the Schwerin tour.

deck 14 mast bar is best place. easy to meet lots of great people. We are the risk takers so there is a lot in commonšŸ¤£

don't think you're allowed those inside either. don't take my word on that though as I'm not 100% certain

I'm a smoker...what about ecigs?

Great ship. If you don't know any better you would think that the entertainment was great but after many cruises, there is better entertainment elsewhere. saying so, the ship is beautiful, food good, service immpecable, but no smoking anywhere inside the ship which is a bummer if you smoke. lounge chairs are cushioned unlike most other cruise lines and soft drinks are served in cans, not fountain
