Chose this cruise because it was later in the spring, have cruised to the Baltic five times already, and cruised the TA on the Emerald Princess its inaugeral year.
Our first surprise was a five category upgrade. Embarkation was a breeze with our luggage delivered before dinner. Pizza for lunch did not disapoint. DaVinci main dining room was great our waiter and assistant waiter were professional and and lots of fun. The entertainment was high class as always with a very funny Cruise Director.
Activities were so numerous, one could not attend them all.
Cabin Review
Balcony
Cabin B2
Cabin was very comfortable. The new beds and bedding are an 100% improvement. The balcony was large enough for two chairs and foot stools for relaxing. The flatscreen tv was great but programing could be upgraded to the Royal class ships.
