Chose the cruise as wanted to go back to Russia. Also wanted to try celebrity and got a deal with wifi, on board spends and drinks included .Really liked the café al bacio (coffee shop) we used it a lot and instead of lunch usually had a pastry and a drink. Shows excellent especially the cruise own company acrobats brilliant . Found the food in the ocean view not very warm. All staff on board very friendly. Balcony cabin good but lack of draw space. we did not use the shore excursions from the ship. did hop on hop off buses (not paid for on the ship) and couple of cruise excursions trips in st Petersburg. There is a lot of shops on the ship and a massive casino leading to waisted space as some of the quizzes in a small area with limited seating. Only one big lounge. The embarkation and disembarkation very quick and smooth.
