Loved the cruise, I think the best of the three we've taken with Seabourn in the last seven years.

Loved the Restaurant, the Sushi restaurant, and the Observation Bar (nice nod to Vlady and Rachel, who we ran into in Copenhagen). Had a hiccup in The Grill, Caesar salad was prepared at the table, we did not get the additional garlic we requested several times added to the salad, were told it was coming on the side. We also requested anchovies on the side as well, it took about 15 minutes for both sides to come, by which time two at our table at finished their salads.

Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Everything on the ship was top notch and things appeared to be clean; however, the morning after we disembarked we found what look like bed bug bites. We can't say for sure that's what they are, but based on internet research and photos we took that seems to be the case. Also, such bites, again per our research, typically do not appear when you wake up in the morning, so we don't think it was our hotel in Copenhagen, We want you to be aware of that, we were in Cabin No. 741. We're taking measures to fumigate our clothing, luggage, etc., now, and the bites, while a bit unsightly, have not progressed in severity.

Ship tip
Take the excursion to Moscow if you are on the Baltic cruise. Also, the Restaurant was great, staff and crew also deserve our praise.
We took the one-day excursion to Moscow and stopped at the Hotel Metropol for a break. Those who have read A Gentleman in Moscow were in heaven, and seeing Red Square, St. Basil's Cathedral, and the Kremlin was an unforgettable experience. Also loved the Hermitage.
We probably didn't give Helsinki much of a chance, as the excursion was only a half-day, and I suspect, based on the positive comments I've heard, this city has a lot to offer.
We have had bed bugs they can appear immediately. More likely to be the hotel, unlikely bites would be delayed a week. Only heat kills these bugs so wash everything in hot water and use a dryer. Wrap luggage in black bin bags and put in sun for a few days. You don’t want them to get into your house
