We finally went to see the renovations made at the Baltic Princess dock. A 23-hour cruise from Turku to Stockholm and back. The advantage of a Wednesday cruise is that in low season you can get on the ship directly without waiting at the terminal. The first table at the Buffet was already at 18:45, the ship leaves at 20:10. One of the good things about the port of Turku is the possibility of charging your car during the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

K\u00e4vimme viimeinkin tutustumassa Baltic Princessin telakoinnissa tehtyihin uudistuksiin. 23-tunnin risteily Turusta Tukholmaan ja takaisin. Keskiviikko risteilyn etuna on matalasesongilla p\u00e4\u00e4sy laivaan suoraan ilman odottelua terminaalissa. Ensimm\u00e4inen kattaus Buffetissa oli jo 18:45, laiva l\u00e4htee kello 20:10. Turun sataman hyvi\u00e4 puolia on mahdollisuus saada auto lataukseen matkan ajaksi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transition to the cabin was smooth. We had a four-person outside cabin on the 5th deck. The cabin was clean and everything worked, but the cabins really need updating. The overall look is starting to look quite tired after 18 years. The biggest difference to the competitors is in the cabins, most of which are in their original condition.
Viking Glory and its tanker arrived in port a little later. The Baltic Princess was still having its outer decks painted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyttiin siirtyminen onnistui sujuvasti. Hyttin\u00e4 meill\u00e4 oli 5. kannen nelj\u00e4n hengen ulkohytti. Hytti oli siisti ja kaikki toimi, mutta hytit kaipaisivat todellakin p\u00e4ivityst\u00e4. Yleisilme alkaa 18 vuoden j\u00e4lkeen olemaan melko v\u00e4synyt. Suurin ero kilpailijoihin tuleekin juuri hyteiss\u00e4 joista suurin osa on melko alkuper\u00e4isess\u00e4 asussaan.
Viking Glory ja sen tankkausalus saapuivat hieman my\u00f6hemmin satamaan. Baltic Princessill\u00e4 ulkokansien maalaus oli edelleen menossa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After departure, it was time for dinner at the Grande Buffet restaurant. This time, you could choose your own table in the restaurant. The food was good, especially the appetizers. Although the selection of warm meat dishes was a bit limited. The dinner went well, admiring the scenery of the Turku archipelago. After dinner, it was time to explore the renovated Tax Free Superstore. The store had a much brighter look than before. There were also self-service checkouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u00e4hd\u00f6n j\u00e4lkeen oli vuorossa p\u00e4iv\u00e4llinen Grande Buffet ravintolassa. T\u00e4ll\u00e4 kertaa ravintolassa oli vapaasti p\u00f6yd\u00e4t valittavissa. Ruoka oli hyv\u00e4\u00e4 , varsinkin alkupalat. Tosin l\u00e4mpimiss\u00e4 liharuuissa valikoima oli v\u00e4h\u00e4n suppea. P\u00e4iv\u00e4llinen sujui hyvin Turun saariston maisemia ihaillen. P\u00e4iv\u00e4llisen j\u00e4lkeen olikin aika tutustua uudistettuun Tax Free Superstoreen. Myym\u00e4l\u00e4 oli saanut huomattavasti aiempaa valoisamman ilmeen. Sinne oli tullut my\u00f6s itsepalvelukassat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the evening we sat on the sun deck and at the disco, which wasn’t open yet. After that we headed to a nightclub, where there was a party band and a star artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Illasta istuskeltiin viel\u00e4 aurinkokannella ja discossa, joka ei ollut viel\u00e4 avoinna. Sen j\u00e4lkeen suuntasimme y\u00f6kerhoon, jossa oli tarjolla bileb\u00e4ndi ja t\u00e4htiartisti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a good night’s sleep, it was time to look at the Stockholm archipelago and head for breakfast at the completely newly built Grill House restaurant. The surfaces of the restaurant and nearby corridors have been completely renovated and are really stylish. Then for breakfast, there was a really good and tasty selection of cold and warm dishes. You could order an omelet from the waiter. For dessert, there was the opportunity to fry waffles. One of the best breakfasts I’ve had on a ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyvin nukutun y\u00f6n j\u00e4lkeen oli aika katsella Tukholman saaristoa ja suunnata aamiaiselle t\u00e4ysin uusiksi rakennettuun Grill House ravintolaan. Ravintolan ja l\u00e4heisten k\u00e4yt\u00e4vien pinnat on t\u00e4ysin uusittu ja todella tyylikk\u00e4\u00e4t. Sitten aamiaiseen, tarjolla oli todella hyv\u00e4 ja maukas valikoima kylmi\u00e4 ja l\u00e4mpimi\u00e4 ruokia. Munakkaan sai tilattua tarjoilijalta. J\u00e4lkiruuaksi oli mahdollisuus paistaa vohveleita. Yksi parhaista aamiaisista mit\u00e4 olen laivalla sy\u00f6nyt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After breakfast, there was time to wander through the ship’s public areas. The corridors and lobbies have been given a much brighter look. The piano bar has also been completely renovated. After the tour, it was time to continue shopping in the renovated stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aamiaisen j\u00e4lkeen oli aikaa kierrell\u00e4 laivan yleisi\u00e4 tiloja l\u00e4pi K\u00e4yt\u00e4v\u00e4t ja aulat on saanut paljon valoisamman ilmeen. Piano baari on my\u00f6s t\u00e4ysin uudistunut. Kierroksen j\u00e4lkeen oli aika jatkaa shoppailua uudistetuissa myym\u00e4l\u00f6iss\u00e4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it was time for a stop in Mariehamn. The rest of the trip was spent in a nightclub playing quizzes and bingo. All in all, a nice mini-cruise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sitten oli vuorossa pys\u00e4hdys Maarianhaminassa. Loppu matka menikin y\u00f6kerhossa visailun ja bingon parissa. Kaiken kaikkiaan mukava miniristeily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
