Review summary
THE SHIP WAS LOVELY, BUT NOT SPECTACULAR
we were excited to be on a new ship
but surprised that is was not special
the itinerary was great, but would NOT recommend booking tours thru the ship
A BIG MONEY MAKER
other guests booked thru other companies and paid half
we had a mobility scooter and we were told that St Petersberg was not ready for them....we felt forced to book a private tour-$1,000 for one day
we were given the impression that we had to book thru Holland if we di not have a visa-NOT TRUE!!! Spoke to many other guest who booked private tours and paid half. VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW
We felt as many others felt that Holland Line is trying to save money
Entertainment and activities could have been better. Going to all these ports were very meaningful. No one lectured about any of the ports. The guest on this ship were well traveled and felt many activities were to make sales to make money
the specialty restaurants were pretty good-did not love the dining room menu
WE HAVE BEEN ON AT LEAST 10 CRUISES
so we are comparing this cruise to other experiences
MANY GUESTS AGREED

Ship tip
we paid double for excursions when we compared with other guest who are very savvy travelers you do not need to book thru Holland to go into Russia-rip off
