This eleven day tour of scandinavia and the baltic region with Princess was a great experience. All of our expactations were met and exceeded.
Pre cruise concerns...sea sickness, lack of interest in drinking, gambling, dancing amounted to nothing. There were heaps of things for us to do both aboard and ashore. I loved the art history and gem lectures, jewellery shopping (excellent prices for amber), art auctions, scenery, tour of the galley, variety of dining experiences, quality of food.
We had three full days at sea...one unexpected as we couldn't land in Oslo due to a general strike and seven ashore days. We were disappointed in missing Oslo but actually appreciated the day (first day of cruise) to explore the ship and recover from our jet lag.
Cabin was on Deck Nine, close to lifts, very quiet and spacious, on the starboard side forward middle.. It was great having a balcony to take in the sights. only down side was distance from the laundramat but after all the great food we needed the exercise!
