Thanks so much for the reply . Did you use any of the hop on, hop off buses ? What would you recommend for Stockholm ?

Thanks so much . I will do that

You may want to join the Roll Call thread for that sailings - should be some good ideas on tours there.

Thanks . Good idea I will do that

Hi Cruisers,

We are taking a Baltic cruise on July 3rd from Amsterdam on Brilliance of the Seas. I have been trying to find reviews on the ship but the only ones I see are from 2012 . Does anyone have current reviews as to the condition of the ship , the food , entertainment etc ?

I would also like to know what you think of taking hop on hop off buses in each port, except for St Petersburg . We have booked with TJ tours for the 2 days .

Thanks all , look forward to hearing what you have to share .

Has anyone used a tour group in St Petersburg other than the one provided by the ship .

We are going there next July & I am trying to find a good tour company that is reliable . We did an Eastern Mediterranean last year and I was able to find some very good companys that were cheaper and not as large as the ship excursions .

We are trying to decide which ship to book our Baltic Sea Cruise with next July (2018)

Choices are RCL Brilliance of the Seas or Celebrity Eclipse .

I have been reading many reviews about RCL and the awful food , dirty cabins , etc .

Has anyone sailed on Brilliance this year ? What did you think of the service etc . especially the food ?

Last year we sailed the Greek islands on Reflection and its beautiful !

Thanks so much . Look forward to some feedback so I can make a decision .
