We were on Star Princess in 2005 on the Baltic cruise - it was a wonderful trip but very hectic - your feet will not touch the ground but it is one cruise we will never forget.

 

If you are interested I have posted a review on our trip which can be found by going to

A member of our Roll Call for that sailing has also written a review under the name of sunprincess8 and has posted some superb photos of the trip at http://community.webshots.com/user/sunprincess8

 

Good Luck with your plans.

Moonbeam1961, the timing will be a little tight to do you much good, but we are leaving at the end of next week for the Star Princess 17-day Transatlantic to Copenhagen followed by the 10-day Baltic cruise. If the internet connection permits, I will be posting our experiences during the trip to my website. You might check in a couple of weeks to see if any of the posts are of interest to you.

We always do all ports on our own, including those from the Baltic cruise. We even had our own visas for Russia and went on our own. All of the other cities are very easy to do. I would suggest you order John Lawrences DVD on the Baltic ports that will be a great starter for you. I don't recall alot of HOHO buses in these ports but I'm sure they are available, all the cities have great city bus transportation and then you can get around on foot. If you have any specific questions I will be happy to answer them for you.

Hi moonbeam,

I suggest you go over to the roll call forum at this link to get some ideas from other cruisers. The May 22nd and the Sept. 9, 2007 roll call threads for the Star Princess Baltic have alot of links to resources: ie: HOHO bus, port information, hotels in Copenhagen, tours/places to see at ports.
