Review summary

Somewhat disappointed in general. Didn't get to go to St Petersburg - not RC's fault. Food was average at best (not memorable like in past cruises). Ship was great otherwise and places we visited were great except for where we tied up. Having only approx 1400 passengers was good in some respects and not good in others. (no lines or waiting but the showrooms needed to have a bigger audience for the entertainers to play to),

I believe this was one of two ports where the shuttle was $12 to town. In other ports, it was complimentary. Don't understand why the difference...especially since there was a sign that said free shuttle until the RC agent took it away. Tying up so far away in most of the ports was an inconvenience.
