Have a wonderful cruise.  We did this itinerary last January and had a great trip.  If you go to the Crow's Nest bar please say hello to Kathy and Glen for us - Kathleen and Paul from Kansas City.  

A very happy anniversary.   We had our 35th anniversary on the Adventure in 2003 and lived in Lee's Summit at that time.  Love that class of ship.  

We have read a good number of reviews and the theme is the same:  All are so happy to be back to cruising.  

Enjoying your posts, especially since my first name is Paul with a middle name of Edward.  We have also enjoy Bubbles in O'hare .  

Thank you for your insights and the time to do the posts.  We are looking forward to our trip on the Silhouette at the end of February 2022.

We just returned from our Baltic cruise on "Brilliance of the Seas" on June 20th. From others on our ship, I agree that all tour groups do a great job. I can only speak for Alla tours, as that is what we used. We've done many tours going through recommendations with other cruise critic posters and the tours have all been excellent. This was the first time that we were the contact people for a tour, however. I could not have asked for a better relationship with Alla. Every email was answered in record time. She and her guides met us just as we cleared customs, put us into our groups, and we were off on the tour within 10 minutes! Even with a plan in place, we were still offered options. On the first day, we experienced some traffic, so the guide and driver just rescheduled the day and we were fine! Our guide's English (as was Alla's) was fluent (and my husband wears hearing aids). We felt as if we were seeing St. Petersburg with a family member! I can't imagine a better experience and it was truly the highlight of the cruise.
