Deck 5 was close to everything; guest services, dining, Atrium, shopping, and the theatre.
Our inside forward cabin in the 5100-5200 location was perfectly situated. Small but efficient use of space. A light in the closet would help greatly but there was plenty of room for two to store their things. Closet is a little small so travel with things that don't need hanging. Our cabin steward Wayan was excellent. Attentive but not lurking. Granted all 2 of our requests and was always cheerful despite a very difficult job.  Unless there is a free upgrade, we always go inside cabin. We were concerned about the size when we saw it listed on the ship outline but it was more than enough space. Our hotel room in Copenhagen was the same size. Ha!

Once we found the guide it was great. Not very clear as the instructions said meet 10 minutes after docking which was 7:30am so we went and found no one. Then someone not related to the tour company said it started at 9:30am. We returned at 9:00 am to find that the original tour guide was sick and they were scrambling to replace her. Finally got underway and the guide was great. Anna, was very knowledgeable of history and geography and economics and anything else you could think to ask. She was safe to ensure everyone made it on and off the train and the tram. I would have liked ear piece and microphone to hear better. This guide knew her stuff. She knew where to eat, where to find the items I was looking for, where to find public toilets. She was top notch. Highly recommend the tour but they need to make it clear where and when to meet. 

Cannot say enough about our guide, Eric. I think his name was. He was so interesting and informative about Estonia. Small group bus and walking tour. Incredible history to this small nation invaded numerous times. 5 hours went quickly. A little more free time in the main square would have been appreciated but it was crazy as there was a marathon going on and the roads were blocked off and we had to take alternate routes which may have hampered the time available. Really recommend this tour if you want to learn about the port of call. 

Ana, was incredible! So knowledgeable and funny.  It's a very intense two days but she kept us interested and safe. We had earpieces thank goodness and she could communicate with us but not for more than ten metres so you had to stay close. The Catherine the Great Palace was not available to us even though we booked 4 months in advance so they added the Pavlosk Palace. Nice, Quieter than the Palace of Catherine the Great and when we visited the Hermitage we were happy to have avoided the large crowds at the Palace. We have visited Versaille and were told that the Catherine's Palace is even more opulent, but we did not feel short changed. The Faberge was beautiful. We were always first in line and never waited at the entrance. The boat cruise and the Peterhoff gardens were the high lite for me. The lunch on the first day was seriously lacking but Russia is not known for the cuisine. The second day's lunch was a 6/10 but the service was horrible. Totally recommend this tour. Brava, Ana!!!

The not so good

Atrium is noisy and has little seating.One Princess ship actually took us to our spot on deck so we could see our lifeboats and did the talk over the speaker in three languages.
