“1. Superior cabin is essential is travelling with Family else you will have to rush to catch a table at various bars and restaurants. If you are late, you may have to sit on the floor. We travelled on Saturday 12th April 2025 and saw many people sitting on floor because there was no space. 2. Tallinn is a good place for one time vist of 3 to 4 hrs. 3. Dinner buffet is typical cruise meal - long queues, mediocre food and noisy crowd.”
