Best value for eleven days and visiting five countries with good food onboard. The ship is very well maintained and the rooms are clean. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Entertainment is top class and of a variety. Days at sea have a lot of program to participate for everyone. Shopping and art auction is onboard. Medallion (an electronic device) is use, instead of the old card system. The phone apps are buggy but works most of the time.
Tours are of a wide choice, having English speaking guides and modern coaches to travel. Most ports have very little problem getting on and off. St. Petersburg have a little time to process thru immigration on the first day and a breeze on the second day. Most of the cities visited are near to port or the major ones are a few hours away by train. There are enough time to visit the cities.
Internet is very, very slow onboard. Even the paid network is not good for email or streaming. The internet is the only negative item that needs major improvment. Princess stated that they are the fastest internet on the sea. This ship is definite the slowest internet anywhere.
