Cabin: Deluxe Veranda 2C

Fabulous itinerary. Ports were all amazing and, with the exception of St. Petersburg, very easy to walk to most sights directly from the ship despite warnings from Celebrity that they were not walkable in an attempt to convince you to use their overpriced shuttles and excursions. Staff very pleasant and attentive. Never had a problem getting service at any of the bars. Food was generally above average in the dining room. Breakfast in the dining room was a very slow process so would recommend just heading to the buffet. All shore excursions were booked through private companies. In St. Petersburg we booked the two day deluxe tour through SPB and it was outstanding. The maximum group number for this tour is 16 (we had 14). Also heard great comments about Alla tours. Entertainment ranged from very good to ok. Biggest complaint was the constant harassment to purchase specialty dining was very irritating and impossible to avoid.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Veranda 2C

Very clean and quite spacious. Supposedly partial obstructed view but no noticeable obstruction.

Port Reviews

Rostock (Warnemunde)

Actual port was Warnemunde and Rostock which are both beautiful and well worth walking around. Did not go to Berlin (three plus hours from the ship) as I have been there before. Berlin is well worth visiting but requires more than a few hours to explore it.

Tallinn

Beautiful city. Very walkable.

St. Petersburg

Great tour. Would highly recommend going with SPB and taking their two day tour. Getting off and back on to the ship was a very slow process on the first day due to Russian passport control but nothing anyone can do about that. The second day was a very fast process.

Helsinki

Beautiful city. Very walkable. Try the fresh fish at the market on the water directly in front of city hall.

Stockholm

Beautiful city. Very walkable.

Copenhagen

Would rate this port as the most beautiful of the ones we visited. Probably the most walkable as their were very few elevation changes.
