Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food excellent BUT, we were very disappointed jeans were allowed in the dining room on formal nights. I, along with others, spent a considerable amount of money bringing tuxedos and suits only to be seated next to slobs wearing jeans. We would not take this cruise again unless a dress code is enforced. Also a beer package would be nice.

St. Petersburg, Russian Federation

3 out of 5

The hermitage was impressive but way too crowded and hot. Our guide kept losing some of our group because she walked too fast for some of the older people and she failed to keep our group number sign up. Very frustrating.
