Cruise chosen because of destinations. Dining and entertainment was excellent the variety and performers were top class. The service provided by dining room staff and stateroom attendant was excellent and the food was excellent too. The ship was well maintained, clean with first class hygiene standards. We found the excursion staff not as helpful as I would have expected and one or two were quite surly. While an airport transfer was not available on the RCI website in advance a transfer to Gatwick was available on board at $100 whereas National Express was £24 after a short taxi ride for £5. WiFi was $12.99 a day and one had to purchase 12 days. The WiFi was extremely slow and expensive. I would have expected WiFi to be free as it is on board Emirates flights and many coffee shops, airports and National Express buses. We found the ship to be too big and crowded and difficult to find seating in coffee shop, windjammer and lounges. The time ashore at some of the ports of call was too short and the excursions desk would not or could not provide adequate information as to alternative tour arrangements available dockside. On the whole though the cruise was enjoyable with 4 relaxing days at sea and well chosen ports of call.

Shuttle bus drop off suitable but mermaid, Tivoli and Skoget quite far apart. Hop on hop off would have been better.

Tallinn

Shuttle bus convenient and old town within walking distance. Very nice and interesting destination lots of markets

Helsinki

Used hop on hop off bus. Nice informative tour around city. Rock church only opened ar 1245 so no time to visit as ship was leaving early. Waterfront market busyand very interesting. Attractive city square.
