I had chosen this cruise to experience the Baltic Capitols so well known for their history, architecture and canals, namely St Petersburg, Russia and Stockholm, Sweden.

Due to Norwegian’s Port negotiability for Stockholm, they had to call port an hour away from Stockholm,(this is not what was advertised when booking the cruise,they changed it 30 days prior to cruising.).We were cut short several hours of shopping and touring of Stockholm. This was a pretty major blow against the expectations and cost of the trip. Plus, adding two hours on a bus to and from just to be able to see the famed Stockholm. Once again, this in my opinion is unacceptable and a major blow to the overall experience that was advertised and promised by Norwegian.
