Hey Star Cruisers!

[WilCruise]

:) Where are all of the final comments from you guys that just finished your Baltic cruise on the star? You should have been back home by now with a good cup of coffee and your new scales reading. Anything you want to tell those of us getting ready to go aboard in the coming weeks? Would be interesting to know if Princess got the lines at St. Pete figured out.

The one overriding thought that comes to mind about the cruise just finished is how exhausted we were! I think perhaps we tried to do too much, but we didn't want to miss anything because who knows if or when we'll ever get back to these places. Thank goodness for the sea day at the beginning to help you get past the jet lag. And the later sea day as well as the early departure from Oslo also helped to recover at the end. We liked the second half ports better than the first half ports. The lines were terrible on the first day in St Petersburg, but not sure how much Princess can do to ease them when there are only 4 Russian Immigration lines and 2500 people anxious to get off! Fortunately we had booked a private tour and were able to get off early without waiting in the horrendous Princess tour lines. But, all in all, I'm so glad we did it! Now, we're looking to book somewhere WARMER for our next cruise.
