Yes, am cruising to Scandinavia and Russia

and Kristiansund,Norway,was our first stop.Voyage V 825,10-24 August 2018.I love this itinerary,I sailed there for  the very first time on the Celebrity Eclipse and loved it so much, have done it  on two  other ships since, this  being the third-Cunard's Queen Victoria. Originally,some six months ago,I booked a Britannia Club Cabin,this particular grade has the least number of cabins and sells out fast.I was in a Club cabin for the first time last Christmas and loved it unreservedly and when I knew I wanted to sail to St Petersburg again, I made a reservation immediately.Only once on board last Friday did I realize that I had been upgraded to a Princess Grill cabin 4094.There is only one grade higher, the Queens Grill.The Grills have own dining room and lounge, terrace adjoining the lunge  and a sun-bathing  area,all on the 11th floor.An elevator that  goes there is operated with a special key.The nicest surprise  was Eduardo,a Colombian maitre d', who was so wonderfully nice to me  at Christmas, and who is  now in The Princes Grill restaurant.We greeted each other like  friends I hope we are going to become.He is a no nonsense man, who came to appreciate my sense of humour and I his kindness.
