We really enjoyed this cruise. Stockholm and ST. Petersburg are two best cities to visit. The cruise ship was so big with so many people, it was amazing that we didn't feel crowded until we had meals at the Ocean Cafe, the buffets.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
We didn't realize that the embarkation wouldn't start until 11am and the stateroom wouldn't be ready until 1:30pm. We could have had some sightseeing right after we landed at Stockholm early in the morning. We probably should pay more attention on the schedule next time.
Once the embarkation started, it was very fast and efficient to go thru the process. The staff were friendly and professional.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
We really enjoyed the specialty restaurants. The main dining rooms were average. The buffets had many varieties, but there were so many people and it was difficult to find a seat inside the cafe since it was too chilly to sit outside.

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The cabin size is just right for us, especially the bathroom is big enough to feel comfortable. The staff kept the cabin really clean.
Ship tip
Do try to have some meals at specialty food restaurant.
Had an excursion to Peterhof palace, inside and outside. The excursion was too short for such a beautiful and big place. We could have stayed there for whole day.
Riga actually was surprisingly a beautiful city to visit. We did our own sightseeing, however, even with a map, it was difficult to navigate through the old town.
