Everything about this cruise was awful.
The embarkation in Newcastle took hours, shuttle buses overcrowded and we spent so much time queuing for everything. Once on board we were advised to upgrade to premium drinks package and after sampling the all inclusive drinks it was obvious why! The same applied to the quality of the food!
We pre booked two excursions for when we were in St Petersburg and only did one because the first was such a let down.
Basic cabin near the rear of the ship.
Noise from the engines could be annoying at times.
Only given a few minutes at each stop off.
Shopping mall very poor.
