This was our first ocean cruise after 3 previous river cruises (China, Russia, and Danube)with parents (in their 80s). This small ship had 189 passengers out of total 220 capacity. Our rooms were larger than we expected with plenty of space to relax (couch and 2 chairs) and enjoy the view out the large window. Service was excellent throughout the vessel with all having a smile and most addressing you by name. Minor problems (burned out light bulb) were fixed in a timely manner. Meals had a variety of choices with something that all 4 of us liked on the menu. Portions were of right size and the servers several times gave us side portions of other mains to try if we wanted a taste. Wine steward never let the glass get empty on this all inclusive ship. We normally did not stay up for the evenings entertainment after touring all day but couple times we did it was decent. Biggest issue we had was the use on your own washer/dryers were broke several times and since they were European style cycles were very long. Prior to cruise we stayed in Stockholm at Nordic Sea Hotel. Very convenient hotel, less than 100 feet from airport express train stop and short walk (15 minutes) to Old Town. Quiet and reasonable priced for Stockholm.

Port not included in lists below was Mariehamn, Finland. Since we stopped on a Sunday almost all shops were closed. You could walk the whole town in less than a half hour. Did enjoy the sailing museum ship which was next to where we docked. I would rate a 3.
