This was my first trip to Europe, and was very happy that we were flying into Stockholm a day before the cruise. Stockholm was pleasantly surprising and very warm - I would say the high was about 80. Lots of local people sunbathing and out and about. I think the funniest thing was it was "Iron maiden" day in Stockholm - a heavy metal band from the 80's was playing a concert and it seemed like everyone in Stockholm was wearing Iron Maiden t-shirts!

Sunday was cruise day and it was rather rainy and windy and gray, and the temperatures had dropped into the mid 60's. We were part of a group that took a bus to the port from the Sheraton - it look us about 35 minutes and was pretty neat as we got to see a little bit of the Stockholm area on the way. We checked into the cruise easily about 11 am, no lines, and were on the ship in about 20 mintues. We were able to go directly to the room and drop off our carry-on bags. We had a nice balcony cabin and the room had plenty of storage space. We went up to the pool bar and got a beer, but it was really windy and rainy, so we decided to go ahead and get some lunch. On the way into the Windjammer buffet, the cruise had a table setup where you could buy a drink package (water, sodas, or alcohol). Since the beers we just bought were approximately $13 for two,we decided to take the drink package. You must buy it for each person in the cabin, and it was around $55 per person, per day. For us, since we both like to drink beer, or have wine at dinner, or have nightcap, this was a good deal.

Lunch at the Windjammer was basically the same each day..pretty standard cruise buffett food. We did eat at the pool solarium one day which had pizza and burgers, but both the pizza and burgers left a LOT to be desired.
