  1. On our last trip we used the pool frequently.  We found that about 4pm it got chilly if the roof was closed.  We think this was to reduce the temperature for the afternoon tea.  So it seems they can control the temperature in this area.  We were positioned near the Wintergarden.

     

    We also found that the Wintergarden was little used during the day.  But as always plenty of peaceful spots around the ship.

  2. We used Best Guides in SPB. I wanted to make the most of our visit so we booked a private tour for two. A very knowledgeable guide and a great driver [Mercedes E Class] who dropped us off right outside the various places. We had a very extensive programme and it was worth every penny. The booking was very easy like the other firms you pay on the last day. Visas are not necessary, you use the paper they send you and it was a quick process going through passport control.

  3. Unlike the other reviewers I found the

    cruise to Pulpit Rock poor. I had high expectations of the excursion but was disappointed. Nothing much to see when you arrive at the rock, we saw the goats, had some waffles [as if we needed more food!] and to me wasted a good deal of time in between. We went through Viking and the boat was crowded on top and undercover was drab. The highlight excursion was the sea plane, worth every penny.
