Spectacular, Eye Opening, and Memorable Baltic cruise by dnmtravel

Sail date: May 25, 2022 / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: MSC Poesia / Destination: Europe - Northern Europe

This was our 3rd try to make trip. Tried in 2020 & 2021(Covid). Did miss St. Petersburg (Putin) but this cruise was very eye opening and gave us a new appreciation of these people and their countries! Great and Memorable!!! We are consider coming back for longer visit but right now couldn't decide which one to visit or take more time & do all😀😁😂😍

Wonderful except that British Airways failed to deliver our luggage and we had to buy a complete outfit to be in the cruise. by babub

We enjoyed the trip. The staff were very informative and helpful The excursion guides except at Tallin were very informative. If we had our luggage during the trip we would have enjoyed it more

Study the layout and find out how to get from one place to another - our cabin was in the back and to get to the middle of the ship, you couldn't walk thru the dining rooms.

TRY TO BOOK A CABIN IN THE CENTER OF THE SHIP. IT IS A VERY LONG SHIP. WE DID NOT GO TO THE SPECIALTY RESTAURANT. THERE WAS VERY GOOD FOOD IN THE DINING ROOM. THE SPECIALTY RESTAURANT IS A PART OF THE BUFFET DURING THE DAY. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A BIT MORE EXCLUSIVE. THERE ARE 2 STANDARD DINING ROOMS, SAME FOOD, BUT THE LA FONTAINE SEEMED CLASSIER.
