Sail Date: Sep 2011
Cabin: Deluxe Stateroom with Large Window

We took two separate cruises back to back. Viking simply did not know how to handle this. They took forever to get compatible itineraries, billed us via travel agent for $5,000 in unwarranted charges.

We made our own air arrangements and were told we would have to get ourselves from airport to port of Amsterdam. Met a woman with a Viking sign in airport waiting for others who told it would be cheaper to take a taxi than to join her group. Once aboard ship a staff member told us he had gone to meet us at the airport!

Once aboard ship, everything was five star - food, beverage (free wine with dinners, mimosas at breakfast), smiling staff always eager to be helpful. We quickly made friends with many other passengers.
