Review summary
The staff is wonderful and very attentive to making a very large number of passengers engaged and entertained. All of the performances in the main theater were outstanding! Burn the Floor and Million Dollar Quartet were fantastic.
unfortunately the Ship personnel failed miserably in regards to port experiences. In warnemunde 3000 passengers waited over an hour to re-board the ship. The port of Tallinn was skipped entirely due to alleged bad weather but smaller cruise ships got into all the ports on the schedule. The cruise line failed to advise the 4000 passengers about the 1 hour 20 minute wait time to pass through Russian passport control. The cruise line, without explanation, changed the Stockholm port to Nydaham port, which is over 1 hour away from Stockholm by bus. The Hop On Hop Off excursion promoted by the cruise ship was a nightmare due to horrendous traffic throughout Stockholm.
The food was very good in all three main dining rooms, as well as the Garden Cafe buffet. The specialty restaurants were all outstanding, and Le Bistro, the French restaurant magnificent.
