	Hamburg Port Rating: Rainy sunday morning. Everything was closed. In reality we were only there to pick of German passenger's. Pretty much a throwaway port on this day.

	Stockholm Port Rating: Stockholm was a very clean, pleasant, sterile city. very expensive and really didn't hold my interest for very long at all. I would rather have gone to another city that had more joie-de-vivre. But getting there is beautiful. You slowly pass through an archipelago of islands that has fantastic scenery and calm perfect waters.

	Tallinn Port Rating: Previous to this trip I knew nothing of the city of Tallinn. What a great surprise this beautiful little town was. It's friendly people and historically interesting sites made for a great day.

	St. Petersburg Port Rating: Wow, Russia..As a child of the cold war it boggled my mind that I would actually ever get to stand in front of the Hermitage. But here we were, and it was everything I had hoped it would be. Well except for the heat! I could go on and on about the beauty of the palaces and bore you to death with the details. I'll save that for my friends and family. All I will say is that I won't soon forget it all.

	Helsinki Port Rating: Nice place that Helsinky is, clean, modern, safe, a bit up-tight and very, very expensive. Where else will you get to eat Reindeer Sausage?

	Copenhagen Port Rating: Oh man, Copenhagen is a fantastic city, not too big,not too small, I recommend paying a visit to the area known as Cristainia,for a very "Amsterdam" like experience (if you get my drift) and walking around enjoying nature for an afternoon. Note, watch your wallet's.. I spotted a pick-pocket gang there,but hey, that can happen in any city on earth.

	Hamburg Port Rating: Back to Hamburg to drop of the German passengers. This time it was during the week and the weather was perfect. Hamburg showed itself to be a great lively city that was well worth a second look.
