Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Buffet was adequate; dining rooms were good but lacked variety. We only attended one special restaurant which was included in our package. I find it disappointing to now have to pay extra for the best meals. It didn’t used to be that way.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Weather kept outdoor activities at a minimum.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Stage shows were a disappointment. No comedian all week. Music too loud.

Beautiful city. We went on a guided bike your

Oslo, Norway

5 out of 5
We took a sailing excursion to see the fiords.

Goteborg (Gothenburg), Sweden

3 out of 5
No excursions offered seemed appealing. We took advantage of a shuttle service from the ship to city center.

Warnemunde (Berlin), Germany

3 out of 5
We thoroughly enjoyed Warnemünde. Folks need to realize that excursions to Berlin require a 3.5 hour bus or train trip each way just to get to the city.

Copenhagen, Denmark

5 out of 5
We headed out on our own to Tivoli Garden which was awesome

Ijmuiden (Amsterdam), Netherlands

4 out of 5
I love Amsterdam but the shipped docked too far from the city. We took an excursion which was pretty lame. It included cheese factory and time wandering around a Typical country town. Bus guide was knowledgable.

Le Havre (Paris), France

4 out of 5
We did. An explore Paris on our own which was fun but required a 6 hour round trip on a bus.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Well organized and smooth
