We just booked our Baltic Cruise on the Regal Princess for this summer leaving June 23. Our first cruise with Princess was last summer to Alaska and we had the most amazing time. My kids are 14 and 11 and at first I was thinking RC cruise line would be better for younger passengers...but we were so happy with Princess that we decided to stick with what we know. Also, didn't want to have to figure out eating packages, as everything we wanted was all included on Princess. I booked with Costco to get over 650 onboard credits for members, which will be used for excursions and drinks.
We have family in Copenhagen, so our time before the cruise will be spent with them. We plan on DIY in all the ports except St. Petersburg (of course) and Berlin. I'm pretty sure my husband will figure out a way to play golf in Stockholm. We did this in Alaska--went our own way to Haines on a ferry and it all worked out. I've heard Alla tours is excellent for all the ports, but might just use my ship credits to help with a Princess tour instead.
Flights aren't cheap, but we have miles for a couple of tickets and upgrades (no way am I paying for kids in business class).
Anyone doing a Baltic cruise NEXT summer (2019)?
in Northern Europe & Baltic Sea
