Northern Europe Cruise Day 4: St Petersburg, Russia

Our second port city was St Petersburg, Russia. We had an early meeting time (6:45am!!) so pre-ordered room service breakfast before meeting up with our tour group.

For this tour, I chose Catherine's Palace in Pushkin which was about a 40 minute drive away. Wow, was it amazing. It was also quite crowded, but nonetheless amazing. The weather wasn't the best but the gardens were still nice to see - I only wish the weather could have been better so we could have enjoyed the outside areas even more.




We had quite a long time in this port so some people went back out for evening excursions but we chose not to and were able to enjoy a half empty ship for the afternoon and evening.

We had a late lunch at Lumiere's and then enjoyed the kids club, some exercise, and the fun task of mid-week laundry before dinner.

C was exhausted and slept through some princess meet ups and even through dinner! She was a great traveler though and cuddled in with me vs being fussy at all.



Mickey and Minnie were in their best Russian gear which served for some great pictures.



Once C was up, we spied J and S dancing in the lobby from a few floors up, it was a beautiful moment for me to see. Then,  the girls needed to eat a bit more so we went up to the top deck for hot dogs and pizza before S met Belle and J went to see a movie.
