Viking showed its ability to change plans when things go wrong. There were problems with the new ship in Estonia. They couldn't get the ship all the way to Norway in time. So we stayed in Bergen an extra two days (hotel, food, excursions, and flight to Copenhagen) with Viking picking up the tab. It did mean no London, but we added Copenhagen. We had been to both cities before, but had spent less time in Copenhagen. We went through the Kiel Canal and still had less time in Paris with no trip up the Seine. After that we were back on schedule with stops in Lisbon, Cadiz, Gibralter, Cartagena, and Barcelona. Side trips were included at each port. More extensive were available for a price. Food and service were excellent. We were a group of eight. We were given private dining space several times. The entertainment was excellent. There were 3 male, 3 female singers, 2 singer/dancers and a band as the ship's group. They were all talented, but especially the 4 men. They performed as The Rat Pack one night in a large bar and were the Beatles the next. This group helped to supervise small group activities on the ship. We played our version of miniature golf. Two of the guys joined us twice. They were such delightful young men to get to know. The ship also brought on board a number of other performers. With the changes we were all given a sizeable refund. We will go on The Path of the Vikings in September. (Bergen to Montreal. Read Less
