My husband and I loved the itinerary, the ship, the crew, and the people we met on the cruise. It was wonderful being able to overnight in St. Petersburg and Copenhagen. The only negative was going through Passport Control in St. Petersburg but Celebrity had no control over that. It took us 1.5 hours the first day (15 minutes the second day.) We ate all of our meals in the main dining room (Anytime Time dining - prebook your dining time at least several months before the cruise) or Oceanview Cafe and found both quite good. We did Room Service for breakfast on the morning of our excursions and it was always prompt and good quality. The Celebrity singers and dancers were wonderful. Most of the other evening shows were very good (we missed a couple)

For excursions, we booked ours through TJ Travel in St. Petersburg, Helsinski, Tallinn, Berlin, and Oslo and were very pleased. We like being in smaller groups (12-15). The only large groups were Helsinki and Berlin (up to 27).

We chose the Classic Beverage Package and unlimited Internet package as our perks. You get the most bang for your buck if you drink 2 glasses of wine, bottled water, speciality coffees/tea. Internet was slow sometimes due to number of people using it. Read more
