Additional details
We chose this cruise to see these countries. We were traveling with friends with similar interests so it made it fun. This was a very active cruise. Visiting five ports in eight days we were moving quite a bit. This was a round trip from Copenhagen. While we arrived a day early, we should have added an extra day at the beginning or the end as it was a long flight (from California), we were tired so we didn't get to see much.
Oslo was a nice little town. We spent time walking around the town close to the port after an early excursion. We wished we had more time in town.
Warnemunde, Germany (Berlin) - We did the train ride to Berlin and had a great tour. The organized tour showed a lot more than we ever could have seen on a self guided.
Cabin Review
Mini-Suite with Balcony
This was a great cabin, for space. Lots of room and the balcony was probably one of the biggest on the ship. Our travel mates had the matching on on the other side. Good amount of room to stretch out without stepping on each other. There is a full bathtub/shower.
This cabin is at the very front of the ship so there was a lot of movement, especially on windy days as the ship plowed through the waves. While it didn't keep me awake, it did keep our friends awake in the like cabin at the other side of the ship. Being at the front, when the bow thrusters we used for docking there was no sleeping through that as it shook the whole front end and we were above the bridge.
Balcony - great balcony for when in port. But as stated we were not on the ship much while in port. When the ship was underway, the balcony was not usable due to being the very front corner. Too much wind. Don't leave anything on the balcony as it will be gone.
I'd consider this cabin again for a different cruise if I anticipated having more on board port time.
Port Reviews
Copenhagen
We wished we had gotten into town a day earlier or scheduled an extra day at the end. We didn't have enough time to see a lot.
Tallinn
Cute little town with a lot to see. We did our our self guided walking tour. We took a taxi to old town and walked throughout town back to the ship. There was plenty of time but it was a lot of walking. Plenty of places to eat, shop or just hang out. Very cute little town.
Helsinki
This was a short port day. We did the Hop on Hop Off buss tour, which was sufficient. We walked between some of the stops just to see more.
