Ports of calls interesting. Ship disappointing wouldn't go on this boat again.

Lounge dismal in daytime, unable to see shows in evening apart from waist up as all on one level. Smoking allowed on one half and buffet lunches and breakfast usually in there. Not many seating areas away from bars and lounge crowded if passengers not able to get onto deck. Pool tiny! Fitness room only some weights, broken walking machine, two bikes. Sauna good when working.

Food ok but nothing special. Service very hurried, desserts have to be ordered with main course, coffee cups arrive before dessert, plates collected sometimes as you are taking the last mouthful. Some Waiters not always very happy. No morning coffee, afternoon tea with hard biscuits and croissants from breakfasts with icing on. Long q's and plastic plates and cups YUK!

Only had basic cabin and comfortable ok always cleaned well. Cabin staff polite and cheerful. Was in middle on ship cabins towards front very noisy some people said they couldn't sleep.

When you could see it the shows I have seen much better, didn't seem to be any sparkle, didn't often stay to see shows out. Dare I say it but the talent night was the most interesting show! Films in cinema dire.

Poor activities during day unless you like bingo and the odd quiz. Couple of good lectures. Pool tiny. Ports interesting but excursions really expensive. Everyone complained about prices. Only did St Petersburg excursion and made own way otherwise.

Geroomans, british dutch mainly. Had good companions on dinner table, other meals got seated by waiters and sometimes on tables with a language barrier so wasn't able to make much conversation.

The cruise should have been on Stella Solaris (now dead and buried) which had excellent reviews, so this change was not favorable wouldn't go on this boat again.
