This cruise came up as a late planning vacation for myself and family. We decided to book this trip 3 weeks prior to the date of departure so there wasn't a lot of waiting and anticipation.

Arrived to the Port of Baltimore at around 11 am and were through the port security and with room keys boarding the ship in about 30 mins max. This is my second time through this port and always quick with little line and very well organized. It was colder this day being November so not a lot of deck activities and they moved sail away party to inside the Viking Crown Lounge. Wasn't like a normal sail away party but served the purpose of getting things kick started like a deck party.

We had 4 stops in Nassau, Coco cay, Key West and Port Canaveral. Once we got south of about South Carolina the weather picked up and was much warmer and nicer to go out on the decks outside. Didn't do a lot of excursions in any stop so not much to review their other than walk around. It did rain all day in Port Canaveral so never got off the ship that day and just enjoyed the day, a lot of people seemed to do this as the ship was busy all day long (and we were in port 10am-10pm). Coco cay was nice too but slightly crowded as our ship and Majesty were there together. But this really wasn't a problem with finding chairs you may have only need to walk around a little but overall was a perfect beach day as planned. Not much to say about key west or Nassau as just walked around to stretch the legs. Read more
