Some things have changed in the Aqua class cabin amenities...namely we used to be entitled to bottled water delivered every day and now it's only the first day. You have to get the daily water just before you take an excursion.

Also, every time I asked for something from our cabin attendant, i felt like i was asking for the moon. Needless to say, he did not get an extra tip at the end...some of the servers in Blu did as they went above and beyond even when we were in the cate restaurant.

Amsterdam is wonderful as long as you realize you take your life in your hands every time you step out. There are bikes everywhere and THEY DO NO YIELD to pedestrians. Despite that...it is an amazing city, not to be missed...just to use extra caution.

Amsterdam

Interesting and an easy excursion. Bus driver was great...tour guide was a little incompetent. Twice she forgot to count and if it were not for the driver, passengers would have had to chase the bus.

Just made a photo stop here...almost left 4 passengers here.

This place was wonderful BUT...and this is a big but, make sure you wear heavy sneakers or boots. The cobblestones here are huge and it's like walking on uneven rocks. Even with sneakers, the walk is tough...but a great place.

This was a disappointment as we thought we were going to have time in Tallinn itself. We had 10 minutes. The rest of the time was walking through Tallinn to get the train to go up to the "garden" which may have been nice for them but basically was a forest of pine trees following by a stop at a farmer's market.

This was the best excursion of the trip and though it had a lot to do with the city, it had as much to do with the tour guide, driver and company. It was a private car for 4 of us. We got into everything, including the Hermitage, before any others. The guide  (Katia) while speaking impeccable English was extremely knowledgeable about everything. We spent to wonderful days (despite rain on day 1) with her in Peterhof, Pushking, the Hermage, St. Isacc's, the Church of the Spilled Blood. We saw the Amber Room, had a private a capella entertainment in the Hermitage theatre, took a cruise on the Neva as well as many other things.

The Vasa was wonderful. The tour guide not so much. She dissed the amusement park because she doesn't like such things, brought the 47 people into the Vasa and tried to tell us things without the benefit of the "boxes" so that anyone (like us) on the perimeter of the group heard absolutely nothing. We broke away and tried to do it on our own.

After the poor excursions in Oslo and Stockholm, we cancelled our 12-hour excursion to Berlin for fear of disappointment.

The shop didn't make it to Helsinki because of weather conditions.

Helsinki

This was one of the best excursions. Walked a long, long distance on cobblestone but had such a wonderful guide it did ot matter. There's also a lot of bikes in this city but they seemed to be a bit more careful than Copenhagen. The old canal and subsequent cruise on it was wonderful.

Lots of things we enjoyed and lots of things we did not.Some things on the Silhouette are as good as they have ever been - such as Blu and the Aqua Spa...
