Review summary

Loved all the ports, Latvia was okay.  It was very cold and there was only one day that the outdoor pool was usable.  They only allowed the kids to use the enclosed pool from noon to 3 each day.  The hot tub in the outdoor pool was right under the outdoor movie which they played a R rated movie during the day when we tried to use it, so the hot tubs were not usable either.  I think they should have made the enclosed pool available in the evening also.  The beds were rock hard and difficult to sleep in, the pillows were just as hard.  The breakfast menu in the Windjammer was the same everyday. 

The dining room service was amazing with Mark and Agnelo table 640!!!  They were attentive and great.  We loved the night they brought on the Russian entertainers!

The beds were rock hard as were the pillows, extremely uncomfortable. The clamp holding the overhead pipe was rusted through.

you can walk to Old town from where the bus drops you. We walked around the outside and took side streets and ended at the busy city center.
