The Good:
The destinations were what decided us to do this trip and they certainly did not disappoint. We were blown away by most of the venues we visited in Russia, before continuing on a land tour of the Baltic States, ending in Berlin.
The staff and guides were mostly all excellent, their English and local knowledge remarkable.
Cabin Review
The best thing about a cruise is that you only need to unpack once, however in this case I would have preferred to be in hotels for the duration. Other than the extensive bus travel required (mentioned above) we needed to have the balcony door and curtain closed at night because of the loud all-night traffic noise and bright port lights.
The bed was two twins pushed together, mattresses not at all comfortable, two separate single bed doonas topping, storage was most inadequate, uncomfortable unpadded balcony seats, miniscule shower, but good water pressure.
