Cabin: Mid-Ship Balcony Stateroom

Chose this cruise mostly for the itinerary and that we had a good experience with Norwegian previously.

The pluses were: Good (not excellent) food and a variety of restaurants and menus to choose from. Cagney's was by far the best restaurant and if we do the upgraded dining package again, I would dine there more than once. The freestyle concept is perfect for us. Getting on and off the ship went smoothly and the transportation to from the ship/airport was well organized. Our cabin steward (Samuel) was excellent and very attentive and responsive. Entertainment was excellent. We had a balcony stateroom and it was roomy and comfortable.

On the negative side: The ultimate beverage package should include ALL beverages. Come on, bottled water is extra? And sometimes the bar service was a little slow. Also, other cruise lines include the fancy coffees (ie. cappuccino) in the plan.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Balcony Stateroom

Cabin BA

Very nice stateroom. Comfy bed, larger than expected bathroom. Plenty of room for clothing and personal things. Under bed storage of luggage a big plus.

Our cabin steward was Samuel. He was very good, friendly and helpful.

Port Reviews

Copenhagen

Spent 3 days in Copenhage and toured the city using Rick Steve's book and the hop on hop off bus.

Tallinn

Did our own walking tour using Rick Steve's book as a guide. Don't miss the former KGB HQ building and the basement prison.

Helsinki

Did our own walking tour using Rick Steve's book. Note that you have to buy a bus ride into town as the larger ships must port at a different dock than the smaller ones.
