We really enjoyed every destination, helped by the warm sunny weather but St Petersburg was outstanding. We had organised a two day trip with SPB tours and can't rate them highly enough. Most places can be done by Hop on hop off bus and Scandanavia is beautiful and clean but a bit on the expensive side. All the destinations excepted the Euro but a little bit of local change is needed for public toilets. The ship is a little dated compared to a lot of other cruise lines but the staff, entertainment and food and drink were excellent. Overall we had a wonderful time
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Embarkation was fairly quick and easy but could do with a better building than a shed that doesnt fit everybody in to hand your luggage over
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
The food in the main restaurants was very good along with the house wines, The speciality restaurants, Kora La and Surf and Turf were excellent with great food and service. The buffet always had a good selection of dishes with help yourself wine, beer and cider on tap but the coffee was truly awful but a minor blip unless you are a big coffee fan

Entertainment
5 out of 5
Really enjoyed the the shows, the entertainment team were excellent working hard and singing and dancing really well. The singing Duo 'Braximusic' were brilliant and the comic/magician was funny and entertaining. The other musians around the ship were very good as well especially the saxophonist 'Vernal' who every third night would join everybody in bar eleven on the dance floor with his saxophone great fun

Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Comfortable but just need updating, plenty of cupboard space but some of the furniture doors didn't quite fit and the balcony showed signs of wear
Ship tip
If you like your coffee add an espresso to your cup as the normal coffee is very weak
