Nice cruise experience around Nordics with St. Petersburg and Tallin as highlights - a must go! The ship is clean and comfortable with excellent staff. The ares to improve on - the internet access, communication tool among a group on the ship and information source on the ship. Overall wonderful experience for a relaxing holiday with kids.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The room was superb with very helpful and friendly staff. The restaurants were excellent! Buffets was so so and crowded. Did not need to try to the specialty restaurants. The internet access was bad - cumbersome to log in. The person communication tool on the ship was bad - could not reach by phone/message for most of the time.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
A lot of activities to choose from - rope courses, dancing etc
Entertainment
4 out of 5
The shows were good - from dancing to magic. The movies on TV were good but repeating. 3D movies were good but only a few were offered.
Children's Programs
4 out of 5
Good service but not exceptional - the programs could be more interesting. Our kids only went for 2-3 days.

Cabin / Stateroom

It was not too big but we felt spacious. The steward (Frank) was excellent and our kids remembered him! He really made our stay special.
Ship tip
Don't rely on internet on the ship, nor the communication tool. The info was everywhere - the best source is the daily news/sheet that came in every evening. The planner on TV could have been more useful if it could be linked to the mobile apps.
The village is beautiful! Should have rented a car in advanced (cars not available by walk in) - as it is not too far to drive to Hamburg or Berlin, instead of waiting on the excursions.
We did a 2 half day tour - excellent experience with a very friendly tour guide. High recommended! The immigration line was long - about 1.5 hours on the first day! Second day was fast.
