We chose the cruise because of its great value and the inclusion of drinks package and a balcony! Always wanted to visit Russia and it did not disappoint. Overall we had an amazing time but found the shops on board gave you the hard sell to the point where you did not want to go In Them! I found the tips way too expensive compared to other cruise lines... I also thought the shuttle bus services from the ports was way way over the top but were forced to have to book them at some ports where you simply could not walk to main areas! The restaurant staff and bar staff were superb! Could not have asked for a nicer cabin either it’s so much more spacious than other cruise liner companies. I would definitely book with Celebrity again but be be more mindful of all the potential hidden extras.
