Review summary

Overall a wonderful trip. As mentioned the crew cited supply chain issues that caused numerous shortages of what would have been a well appointed cruise. This made the "beverage package" specifically less of a value The staff worked extremely hard. The ports of call were wonderful and the provided inexpensive shuttle to the center of the towns was a blessing! Will cruise again but maybe not until supply chain issues are somewhat resolved

Ports of call

Copenhagen, Denmark

5 out of 5
Great city. Transportation to/from port was seamless (albeit $$$) Easy to move throughout the city . Excellent public transportation. Wonderful restaurants and cafes to stroll into

Stockholm, Sweden

5 out of 5
Another beautiful city and as it was an overnight port we got to see much of it. The cruise line arranged an inexpensive shuttle (bus) to the extremely popular center and near the old city. A wonderful 2 days

Helsinki, Finland

5 out of 5
Again, the cruise line arranged a shuttle bus to one of the most popular locations in the city city. From there we walked to many great locations. Wonderful city

Visby, Sweden

5 out of 5
A relatively easy walk to the city. (We were provided a shuttle once again, A great offering at all 32 ports of call!!!!). a little warm but great to explore, visit cafes and restaurants. An undiscovered gem of a city

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Would have rated it excellent but as mentioned before you had to mover at higher decks to the stern then down the only aft elevators to exit midship deck 1.This produced protracted waits at all decks for elevators. We ended up hauling heavy luggage down 5 flights. Other than that,, no issues and plenty of cabs to take us to our post-cruise hotel
