1. Princess Regal - Northern Europe / Baltic Sea Cruise - June 15th, 2015

2. Princess Travel Package (+1 night stay at Radisson Blue Royal in Copenhagen) - Very good flight schedules, transfers, and hotel

3. Ship too large for this itinerary - We had to dock at furthest out pier and had to tender while smaller ships went right into town or were much closer to city centers. Wasted a lot of time awaiting to get off ship / tender / transfer busses / customs line in Russia / etc.

Port Reviews

Oslo

Princess told us that we needed to take bus to town center for $16 - took HoHo Bus and found out later that we could have walked from pier and ship to town in 8-10 minutes.

Aarhus

Big waste of time - this port is a rip off to passengers

Berlin

Berline - way to far and too much time to take train - not presented well - Wundermunde and Rostock were delightful despite an all day thunderstorm - had a great time locally

Tallinn

Big Rain Storm - pier far away and had to take Princess Shuttle at an upcharge....enjoyed Old Town and day

Helsinki

We were met by local Helsinki Summer Interns - took public transportation and loved every minute of it...local very friendly and Town Hall and Info Center magnifiscient and very helpful for rest of town tour / getting around, etc. Went out to island fort - very impressive

Stockholm

Nynashamn Port - Tender TERRIBLE experience..1 1/2 hour wait for tender / 20 minute tender / 30 minute walk to train station / train route under construction / very long lines / confusing briefing about Princess Excursion options.... this port was a rip off of passengers and Princess customers...We were told by other passengers who embarked in St Petersburg that Captain took Regal all the way to town center wk before...we were screwed on this stop....not happy about that

Copenhagen

Radisson Blue Royal Great place - centrally located to do everything...did walking tours on own and took city water taxi tours to see everything outlying city center. Wonderful hotel - breakfast buffet outstanding and limo transfer to airport smooth and efficient use of time
