The price and destination are just perfect for my price range. The places which we visited were Baltic and the overnight stay in Saint Petersburg was a plus. I did not participate in the ship shore excursion as I wanted to work on my own spaces without the rush of getting up early each morning to join the crowd. This cruise has a shore excursion every day except the last day which was a sea day. The entertainment on board was fantastic with great shows every night. The program on the ship is wonderful with many activities, There was flower making on Mother's Day, Towel folding with a complimentary book for us to take home.
There are also many dance classes for free to burn out the excess weight that we usually gained on a long cruise. Food was fine for both the main dining and buffet offered much choices and varieties
My cabin was on 5th floor which is right outside the Reception area and embarkation. It was very convenient. The only bad things is there are constant door banging with the doors from the next cabins
