Thanks to all of you for posting. The whole trip sounds fabulous. I just heard from my aunt (the one who's only 5 years older than I am). They were on the sailing before yours, disembarked as you embarked, did the reverse itinerary. She said the weather was terrific the whole time. Oh well. You and the world track and field meet got rain (ok, wind, torrential rain, chilly weather) in Helsinki. Anyhow, they were raving about the museums, the ice cream in Copenhagen (really?), the ship, the crew, etc., etc. They did travel with friends, which can make things nicer, depending. Anyhow, thanks again for making sure this itin is on my list!
