    Reservations for shows are only on the larger ships and for certain shows and are for all guests.  It does not get you a specific seat, just admission to the venue, you still need to get there a bit early to get good seats.  Without reservations you go to the standby line and get admitted 10 to 15 minutes prior to the show starting

    Do Pinnacles need to make reservations on Oasis?

    A quick summary:

    Stockholm - arrived Friday, did the Ice Bar which was cool, Presidents Palace well worth the money and time (caught the changing the guard with the band playing an Abba medley which was amusing), Vasa museum was fab, Skansen museum was okay and walk around Gamla Stan which wasn't as olde worlde and quaint as I imagined

     

    Riga - First day the  bus into Riga and a long self guided walk around Riga including the art nouveau district, second day ship tour to the two castles which was rushed - only 15 minutes at the first castle!

     

    Tallin - For us the best stop, another self guided tour taking in the sights.  Tallin is fabulous

     

    Helsinki - Being the only wet day didn't help.  Was going to go to Suomenlina island fort but put off by the weather so a walk around the centre and the Rock Church, then decided to cut the day short and return to ship rather than do the Sibelius monument.  This stop vyes with Ronne at the bottom of the list.

     

    Visby - Close second to Tallin.  Walked into Visby for a wander around the town.  Didn't do the medieval market but walked around the perimeter of it.  Was great being there during the festival with visitors all dressed up.   Visby is very photogenic and well worth a visit.

     

    Ronne - Not the best stop, down there with Helsinki at the bottom of the list  Ronne itself has very little to see, you are forced to go further afield.  We rented electric bikes and went North of the island.  In retrospect hiring a car would have been best.

     

    Aarhus - surprise of the tour,  Nice town to walk around.  Highlight was the Salling department store with the rooftop garden which was free.  It has a staircase to nowhere giving great views and an extending platform over the street with a glass floor to the street several floors below.  We spent about an hour up there

     

    Copenhagen - Had a single night here so did a self guided walking  tour around most of the sights but not the little mermaid as wife had seen it before and was totally underwhelmed by it.  Did the presidential palace that, like Stockholm, was well worth visiting.

     

    Comments on ship - Thought it was in great shape.  Food in MDR and windjammer was good, service excellent. 

     

    Entertainment in theatre - Left after 5 mins of Tony Tillman, the circus type act was just about ok, the magician was excellent and I thought the 4 male singers were good (The Bohemian Rhapsody we both thought was  the highlight).  While on entertainment, we did 3 films in the evening around the pool which was good but disappointed in the number of films, they where constantly recycling the same 4 or 5 films

    What did you think of the cruise director?
