Review summary

Ports were great, lots to see.Only negative was too many kids on the cruise ( many unsupervised and running down halls at night). Also, it is very aggravating when the Cruise Line has rules to maximize passenger enjoyment, but never enforce. For instance, every show we attended had people coming in 30 to 45 minutes late that were constantly making us have to get up and down for them to be seated. This caused us to miss some parts of the shows. Highly recommend the ultimate dinner package as the non-premium eating venues were very loud.

This cruise had the best Captain we have experienced. He always gave interesting information about all the ports as well as other significant sights along the way. He obviously loved his job and was very personable.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Room is a little more crowded than I am used to - a smaller bed would be desirable as there is no room for two bedside tables.

Ship tip

Moderno restaurant is best value of all premium restaurants.

We took the train to Rostock rather than Berlin. Very nice city with many things to see, especially the world's oldest active astronomical clock.

Tallinn, Estonia

Helsinki, Finland

very expensive, recommend the hop-on, hop-off bus (cheaper to get it at the port than through the ship and you only walk about 500 feet further).

Stockholm, Sweden

3 out of 5
Very expensive. Recommend hop-on, hop-off bus.
