We really enjoyed the entertainment on board and the Cruise Director Andre did a wonderful job. Our favorite band was Into the Drift and Million Dollar Quartet was the best show at sea.

Our 4th cruise on Norwegian we always get upgraded dining package, but for the first time, on this ship we notice a big decline in service and food quality at Le Bistro. Has this specialty become 3rd behind the Haven and the Ocean Blue levels? We ate 2 nights buffet dinner it was wonderful beef wellington and ox tail.

We booked the ballet in St. Petersburg through the ship and it was nice. For day 2 we also booked through ship Imperial St. Petersburg full day. We do not recommend it. For the money we only saw 2 things. We spent more than 3 hours on the bus the traffic was terrible.

Cabin Review

Inside Stateroom

First time to cruise inside and it was fine. Plenty of room for 2, big closet normal bathroom, desk and under bed storage. We were on 5th floor under theater which you could hear the drum beat but all was over by 11pm so it didn't bother us.

Port Reviews

Rostock (Warnemunde)

Walk off great for strolling shopping and rent beach chair watch kite surfers. Awesome Beach!

Tallinn

Here we just taxi up the hill and walked down.

Copenhagen

We took train and bus but be forewarned the closest the bus will drop off is over 1 mile walk away.

Helsinki

Super easy off took shuttle down to marketplace and port.

Stockholm

You have to pay to take a shuttle to the train station, then it's a 1 hour train with many stops to Stockholm. Stops are not marked and subway very confusing we never had problems like we did here.
