My comments
For my 50 years i decide to invite all my Russians family's to make a cruse during 15 days in north sea and Baltic sea the curse start from Copenhagen / Riga / Tallin / saint Petersburg / Stockholm / Oslo / Bergen.
The funny thing is when we start from Paris CDG the worst airport in the world like most of the time they forget to put your luggage in the plane (in July 5 times for me) . I was in the plane and like usually near the widow and i saw my luggage on the tarmac , listening that they close the baggage compartment i, said to the stewardess that it`s not right and this stupid old Air France women told me , do not worried they will put in . The result that we land in Copenhagen without luggage for 15 days cruse. During 5 days as we make short stop over int eh Baltic sea our luggage was following us airport to airport and in Tallin we receive them. Thanks to Costa and they say they use to have this kind of problem when people come from CDG they give us paper pants and tee shirt> Even now if you can avoid to take CDG airport and Air France Company avoid it.
