I chose this cruise to visit St Petersburg. We decided to opt for Royal Caribbean Shore Excursion and the 1st excursion to Peterhof was so poor I would not even Rate it, when voicing my opinion at the shore excursion desk laughing & joking with a lovely guy a lady from the shore excursions was extremely rude & told us to in future get our own Visa and make our own way to the Palace. I am sure this is not acceptable by Royal Caribbean. However the 2nd Shore excursion to Pushkin I will give 10 out of 10 it was excellent, the tour guide, the tour, Palace and Gardens along with a tour through the city after. It was worth every penny.

Navigator of the Seas does need a refurb but is still a lovely ship although lacks places to relax, you are constantly trying to find somewhere to sit especially the Scooner Bar as this is so small compared to other Royal Caribbean Ships.

We were offered the All Inclusive Drinks Package when we booked, now all this means is you get the basic of Basic drinks package which includes Beers & Wine up to $9.00 we were informed you could not have Red Wine then we found out 2 days before the end of the trip that Red Wine is included. You can have all soft drinks & Water although some members of staff are a little confused with this as they think you are not allowed the water but YOU ARE. you are NOT allowed speciality coffees though.

Cabin Review

Interior Stateroom with Virtual Balcony

Cabin VB

Cabin was lovely & clean, although tired looking. Cabin attendant as always fab.

Port Reviews

Oslo

Beautiful City, Ship docks right next to the Old Forte which is well worth a visit inside. Nice easy stroll to the Royal Palace. Oslo is lovely & clean and well worth a visit.

Copenhagen

We took the Port Shuttle into the city which was a nightmare due to traffic and road works around the city centre. We visited Tovili Gardens which was not as large as we expected but worth a visit although it is a long walk from the coach drop off area.

Tallinn

Another nice stroll from the ship and Beautiful Old Town, well worth a visit and make sure you have a coffee & cake.

Helsinki

Takes about 1/2 hr to 40 min. to stroll into City but nice easy walk. Beautiful city, lovely and clean .

Brugge (Bruges)

Took the Port shuttle, this is why I have not given a 10 as they tried to fit too many people bus. The Town is a short walk from the coach park but once you are in the Centre it is outstanding and well worth a visit. Again very clean & Beautiful.
