I chose this cruise for the itinerary. It was a little larger than I would have liked, but it wasn't bad. The ship was very clean and well maintained. Our cabin was lovely, #5740, for three of us. The food was very good. We had dinner in Ocean Blue, which was my favorite, Cagneys Steak House, which was good, but typical, and dinner with a show Dream & Steam. The dinner was ok, but the show was great. All of the shows were fantastic. We saw 'Burn The Floor', which is really good. Million Dollar Quartet, also wonderful, Dream &Steam, awesome. Book ahead. Mersey Boys were good as well. My biggest complaint was disembarking in St. Petersburg. If you book a tour from a local company, NCL will make you stand in a line, and will not let you off of the ship, until all of the passengers that book with them get off first. I had a person in a wheelchair, and they still wouldn't let us off, even though we needed a little extra time. None of us were happy about that. We did make our tour with Alla Tours, because they waited for everybody. Not to say that you should waste time getting through immigrations, but don't worry. The Garden Cafe was very crowded, especially for breakfast, so go elsewhere. Moderno serves a nice breakfast. We took a private tour in Tallinn. Warnemaude, is a lovely seaside resort town, with many restaurants and shops, and you can do it on your own. We did take Hop on Hop off bus in Helsinki, but not a lot to see. We took the ship excursion in Stockholm, city highlights, Vasa musuem, and 4-hrs. freetime in Old Town, very good.
