Review summary

Entertainment was a bit weak, however we completely enjoyed our trip.  Met some wonderful people on board. Everyone was already planning their next cruises!  Learned of some interesting itineraries and also realized what a bargain doing back to back cruises, less airfare! Completely enjoyed our cruise, came home relaxed and rejuvinated!

Ship Quality

Not a young ship but well maintained by a dedicated crew. Was a perfect size for us, easy to get around, My only wish would be to have more shops!

Cabin / Stateroom

Clean and well maintained Our Cabin Steward Helen, was pleasant and well spoken. All our requests were answered promptly and efficiently.

Ship tip

Watch for the coffee promotion at the Cafe Latitudes well worth the price and wasn't advertised online or in the cruise compass.

Wonderful! Totally enjoyed Tallin ! but be prepared for walking on the cobblestones!! Painful on old knees and ankles!! Have Ice ready in your cabin for your return, you will need it!

St. Petersburg, Russian Federation Did not visit port

We visited Catherine's Palace was wonderfully restored but be prepared for the warmth and humidity inside. No AC!!

Helsinki, Finland

Visited Porvoo, would have been nice if the shops had been open for when we arrived !! Only short time in this port and to waste time meandering rather than actively shopping was frustrating.
