The cruise started very well with exceptional staff service at the Barcelona airport and transportation to the Viking Star. We even enjoyed the wait for our state room as we were treated to a great lunch on deck and the excellent onboard staff service started there.
The Viking Star was spectacular and although there some glitches as we expected on an inaugral voyage, many of the problems were corrected or worked on quickly. We thoroughly enjoyed the ship from the size and it's handling in rougher seas. Electrical problems were ongoing however and was very disruptive for the passengers.
The restaurants offered excellent selections and our favorite was the Italian restaurant . Many meals were also enjoyed on the deck with great food and excellent service. We did take advantage of room service some mornings and always had prompt service with well prepared and hot meals. The only issue with room service was trying to contact them. Work is needed in that area.
Our state room was spacious, bright and very well appointed. Lots of storage space in closets but more drawers needed to handle general clothing. Our king size bed was advertised as a king but but was in fact approximately 1 foot short on the width.
We did enjoy the veranda.
