Excellent cruise, with a good itinerary. We had excellent weather which helped. The city trips were good and St Petersburg tour was excellent. I would do this cruise again.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Spotless, well managed and wonderful staff. Maybe menu could change more.

Café al Bacio & Gelateria

4 out of 5

Al Basil was good but not the gelateria. The staff on this counter did not know that a captains club member got a free “1” gelato per cruise!! It was tiny and an embarrassment!

Main Dining Room

5 out of 5

Booking Staff Paola was excellent. Waiting staff were brilliant and helpful and friendly.

Oceanview Café and Bar

4 out of 5

Bit manic at times but the variety was good. Is there a better way of servicing drinks. Couldn’t catch staffs eye to order drinks.

The Spa Café

3 out of 5

Adequate, needs more choice and drinks need topping up regularly

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
Lovely Jacuzzis

Solarium

4 out of 5

Food space, beds tightly packed but pleasant. Only gripe is that people “booked “ their bed very early and seldom returned at all! Other people could have had their beds

Pool

4 out of 5

Nice pool, not very big but adequate.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Good variety. We enjoyed the more English entertainers as the last 2 cruises we have been on were American entertainers and not very good. Thought the entertainment manager was excellent.

Silhouette Theatre

4 out of 5

This was okay nothing special to say about it

Sky Observation Lounge

3 out of 5

Nice space and views but the daily quizzes were in here and people were still taking up seats so participants had to rest on sides to write. Not the best area for this

Children's Programs

No children
