Less stops would have been better, with more time in Estonia, Sweden and Copenhagen. Maybe one day in St. Petersburg instead of 2. I would have liked 2 in Sweden better. Otherwise, it was a great time!

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We spent time in both the Horizon Court and the Symphony dining room. There were so many choices and the food was great!
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Bingo was fun for the kids and we did the Russian doll painting and sat in on a cooking demo.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Magic show was excellent
Children's Programs
5 out of 5
13 year old son enjoyed the teen program. He said an additional hot tub, a kids only pool and video games could have made it better.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Always polite and our room attendant Toon from Thailand was terrific!
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The ship could have better signage for people like me that get confused with directions LOL! Maybe more arrows for front of ship (or towards room numbers) would have helped. Definitely labeling the Horizon Court breakfast areas with different colors or designs so we can find each other. It is huge and both sides of the 6 seating areas looks identical!
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
I wish now that I had booked a balcony room and spent a little more being that it was the 4 of us and tight. (2 adults/2 teens). Although the beds (2 bunks) were so comfy, it was hard listening to snoring or trying to let others sleep if it was early. Had we had the balcony, my husband and I could have sat with coffee on the balcony and watched the ship coming into port. Getting ready for dinner in that small space was challenging! The location of our room was good.
Ship tip
Buy the international cell plan for $10 a day and or get a hotspot for wifi. The ship's biggest downfall is the internet charges. I would choose a different company next time if they offered free wifi. It was difficult to do business away from home.
