The ship is big but you don’t feel overwhelmed. As it wasn’t hot, didn’t get a chance to go to pool. Food in dining rooms were ok, soufflé was great though. Didn’t really participate in any events. Burn the floor show was ok, but didn’t appreciate it as much as that is the noise I hear in my room. I had heard the previous cruises took a long time to disembark in St. Petersburg. I’m glad they found a way to fix this problem. However we didn’t realize til we were on board that we needed to book a time to disembark. For dining we made reservations so did not really need to wait. We tried the free dining at shanghai and the food was not good. We also had Indian food at moderno and it was ok, not much variety. Also we did private tours as the cruise ones were overpriced
