Review summary

We just got back from The regal princess 11 night Scandinavia/ Russia cruise. We had a good experience and its hard to complain about anything with the exception of the feeling you get that you are nickled and dimed for everything. Great organization, good food, very good entertainment, cleanliness, and friendly staff. Just make sure you are prepared to pay for what you get. This is our second time with Princess and unless they have the itinerary we are interested in it will be our last cruise with Princess, there are other cruise lines which have a different approach to revenue making.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Flag ship only one year old,consider lower decks or very high if you are in the middle you will spend a lot of time on the starirs.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

In good shape the staff we had were very good no complaints.

Ship tip

We did as much pre-planning as possible with our tours.Some of these countries have short history of independence like Estonia and therefore do not have a lot to offer. So if you are happy just checking out the sites you should be OK. But if you are the adventurous type you might be hard pressed.
