Great way to get a taste of these cities. Definitely leaves you wanting more time in these cities. Some stops were way too short. The Regal Princess was excellent. We had over 3800 passengers but never felt crowded and every time we disembarked or went to the dinning room we always were seeing new people.
Only thing Princess could do better for those starting elsewhere from Copenhagen would be to not treat us as an after thought. All the arrivals and goodbyes were for Copenhagen. We could not book our tour for Oslo until the night before as it was part of another cruise, the new one that had just started in Copenhagen. Sort of felt like the afterthoughts.

Food and Dining

Excellent food except the buffet baked goods. They were lacking in flavour and variety. As well, what was and what was not included with the Sosa card and coffee card was never clearly explained.
International Café

Alfredo's Pizzeria

Lotus Spa

I expect higher prices but these are way out of line for what we got. Went for pedicures and mine did not get the hot stone massage I was to have. The sales tactics were way over the top. They need learn no means no.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
All staff were friendly and went out of their way to make our cruise an exceptional experience.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Very clean and attention was made to the smallest detail. Only issue is getting to the one dinning room (the only one open for breakfast) had a long about way around to get there. So much so that a person was put in place to give directions.

Ship tip
A big ship so allow time to get to where you need to be with extra time especially in the first few days.
We did a food tour through Food Sightseeing Estonia. We were the only two on the tour with an excellent guide. His knowledge along with the amazing local food made for an excellent day.
What can you say about SPB but amazing. Please do NOT listen to Princess when then inundated you with flyers and announcements saying guests on private tours need to wait in the Concherato dinning room until the Princess tours disembark. This is garbage. We waited until in the dinning room with our disembarkation number they gave us but once the announcement that the ship had cleared and disembarkation was about to begin we walked down the one flight of stairs and straight out with the tour that was in line. No questions asked and we flew through customs. We did a private tour and it was well worth every cent. We flew through lines, saw what we wanted at our pace, and did not have to wait for late or slower tour group members.
Did the Princess best of tour at the last minute as the cruise ship went right into Stockholm greatly reducing time in the city. The tour was great and the best way to see what we wanted with no stress about time.
Loved Oslo. We did another best of tour through Princess after enjoying Stockholm’s. good tour but only a so so tour guide. Went back to the ship for lunch then back out to explore the palace, opera house and castle/fort on our own.
