Review summary

Ports of call with the exception of Frederica Germany were excellent and provided an opportunity to sample the culture and sights of Scandinavia & Russia.  More time could have been allotted in Amsterdam and Berlin with less in Copenhagen. The ship itself was a perfect size enabling everyone to move around and disembark without confusion.  Service and Food was good with several choices.  Cabin size adequate.  House band "Top Notch" outstanding although nightly show entertainment poor as it included local talent and "circus quality" performances.  Shore excursions very expensive.  Shopping on board adequate with the addition of some new "high end" shopping. Independent research on ports of call and private touring should be explored after booking.  On the whole a very good cruise to take for someone who hasn't visited this area previously.
