Review summary
Good cruise overall. If you book a non-cruise-ship tour of St. Petersburg, as we did, make sure you get off the ship at least one hour before your tour is scheduled to start in order to get through Russian immigration. The cruise lines mislead passengers who do not book their tours through them, so that they can get the ship tour groups at the head of the immigration line. I asked the ship personnel when I should get off the ship in order to make an 8:30 am tour and was told to get off at 8:00 am. At that point I was at the back of a one-hour queue, and barely made the tour. The ship cannot refuse disembarkation once the ship has been cleared. (No announcement was made when the ship was cleared.)Embarkation
