Great itenery, port intensity with only 2 days at sea. New mega ship with new design, so it's not like other Princess ships you're used to. I had many things going in my favor which I must admit contributed to an excellent experience. 1- flight into Copenhagen arrived just before shuttle service started 2- I'm Platinum member, so I had priority boarding with no wait 3- had balcony stateroom on Dolphin deck, mid-ship and close to central elevators 4- I received some nice additions like free WiFi, specialty restaurant, etc. This cruise was unusual because people were joining or leaving cruise at different ports, and my guess is that more than 50% did not speak English, especially as their first language. I was very impressed how the ship accommodated such a diverse group, and the much larger design of the Horizon Court had many items or sections to address different food preferences. If you enjoy trying new food from various regions, seek out these areas for Chinese, Thai, Indian, Japanese, Phillapino, etc. The central Piazza area was quite nice, live chamber and piano music, several bars, specialty coffees, gelato, chocolates, etc. I did not attend any of the evening theatre performances, but many people commented that they weren't the typical show time extravaganzas Princess usually has. To me, this made perfect sense because of diverse range of passengers. There were very few children or young adults, mostly 50+ mature people, so no partying around the pool with live bands. Guest service desk and shore excursion desk staff knowledge and prompt. I splurged on private car (Mercedes) driver and a guide for St. Petersburg, and it was money well spent, I saw and did a lot in 8 hours, no time waiting for everyone on a bus and was not warn out at the end of the day. Highly recommend.

Berlin

Think this stop was mostly to pick up passengers, 3+ hours each way on train to see Berlin, which I didn't do.
