Wanted to see as many countries with major stops. This 12 day cruise hit them all. Ship was great and service was as expected from Royal. First time in an inside cabin and was a bit worried that it would not work for this length of time. We were very surprised as it was enough room even had small couch and did not feel cramped. Going to all these capitals and being in Russia was terrific. Did the day and a half tour in St. Petersburg was well worth it. Terrific time, nicely priced. It's not a real relaxing cruise as there is so much to explore. Departed out of Amsterdam and would recommend a few days there to explore. Great city. There are so many canals and wonderful places to eat and enjoy. Ann Frank house is a must.

Also we did the specialty restaurants on board. I've eaten steaks in the best steak houses around but this was fabulous. Also the Italian was good. Did both of them twice with special package Royal offered. Worth the money.
