Review Summary
We chose the cruise for the date and ports of call. We had a good experience. Overall the service and food were good. There were many bars and lounges, but not many restaurant options. The dinners were excellent in terms of choices, quality and service.Ship Experiences

Recomend the shuttle versus a taxi - it was expensive for a short ride and the shuttle guarantees the ship will wait. We saw the old town, Vasa Museum and the Skansen. The first two were great - could have skipped Skansen outdoor museum.

Also recommend teh shuttle for the short ride. We toured old town according to Rick Steves' guide.
Don't Miss: Local artisan shops lining the stairway to the fort

Have to take the tour unless you have a visa. Recommend booking private tour as it really cannot cost much more and you can see much more. Tour only took us to 1 church and the Hermitage. Then we had to do a group lunch and shopping.
