Great - the stay of 3 days in St. Petersburg was why we took this cruise instead of the 2 day only stays on cruise lines we normally take (NCL, Oceania, Viking). The other ports were interesting, though a couple seemed like "filler" days. Several other folks we met were also on the cruise only because of the 3 day stay; most were otherwise disappointed.

Very good - The table service in the main dining room and room steward. The cabin was in reasonable shape except for badly scratched furniture. They are to do a refurb in Nov. and had started to do some replacements during the cruise.

OK - entertainment was hit or miss. Not sure what age group it was targeted for. Band was very good. Other performers were so-so and played often during the cruise; not much variety. Movies were welcome, though crowded to overflow. On the cancelled port call day, the movie should have been moved to the big theatre. Read more
