It's Totally Over Hyped

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Var

We choose the cruise because of a long time desirer to visit Budapest, Germany and Vienna. The cities and towns along the Danube River did not disappoint, they were fabulous. The ship was disappointing for several reasons: 1. The rooms and shower are smaller than most cruise lines. The balconies are super small and not worth the additional price. 2. Food on this cruise was average at best. ...

It was not really supposed to have been me on this cruise, originally. My mother had a gentleman-friend, and they were going to see Europe together, but he went to an ill-advised Christmas party in 2021 and died of COVID complications a few months later. Nevertheless, Mom had always wanted to do this cruise, and I love Central Europe, so she brought me along instead. In the age of ubiquitous ...

Written as a first time Viking Cruiser. The beginning of the cruise went accordingly. The ship is clean and staff is always ready to assist. We did encounter high waters which changed the locations of departures and arrivals of excursions some which was totally understandable. However, on May 11, 2023 we were taken into Regensburg and upon our return another Viking ship was docked and the Tor ...

Bad Cabin Smell and Disappointing food

We did the Southeastern European cruise with a post cruise in Istanbul on AmaVerde in April 17th. We did the Danube cruise with Ama before and we liked it and that is why we did this one with them as well. We were recommending and even encouraging others to go on AMA. It was a big disappointment as far as the cabin accommodations and food. The cabin had a funky smell like there's mold because ...

We traveled on the Viking Jarl, Danube River trip April 16-26, 2023. The flights we booked through Viking out of Dallas were delayed. We arrived into Budapest at 2AM. My wife's luggage was lost when arriving in Budapest. We filled out the lost bags paperwork at the Budapest airport. The ship sailed at 8AM. We completely missed Budapest. We spent 3 days pleading with Viking services to help us ...

My wife and I cruised with Ama on the Rhine a few years ago and had a great experience. We booked this most recent cruise without hesitation. It turns out that perhaps we should have hesitated as dealing with Ama prior to the cruise was a struggle and the actual cruise experience was very disappointing. Let me start by saying we booked our cruise in 2020 however due to Covid we delayed the ...

We chose this cruise because others told us AMA Waterways was good. Not so much. Food was the worst. When I addressed this with the head chef and his manager, I was told that corporate sent pictures of the food to be presented and they could not change anything. It was obvious that they were more interested in offering excuses than seeking easy problem resolutions. The food and menu gave one ...

Viking is the #1 river cruise ship —- or so they say. Some of the reviews are complimentary, our experience was not the same. Do NOT choose Viking river cruises if: 1.You are experienced travelers 2. You expect a clean room upon embarkation — not leftover food from previous guests in drawers, coffee spills on the LR counter top, uncleaned nightstands and crumbs on the bathroom floor. ...

I just came back from a 15-day Budapest to Amsterdam last week. At best the food quality is very average may be substandard in most days. We had only two good meals, Chateaubriand and Rack of lamb. Especially the regional food menus nightly were horrible. The Wiener schnitzel was like the bark of an old tree and the German Roast Pork with Crispy Skin was like a tree trunk, dry and chewy! We ...

Although the staff were very nice & mostly tried their best, the priority is for Scenic's needs -passengers and their requests are very low on the list.! They have an inflexible attitude toward problems or suggestions & suffer a lack any empathy & the motto seems to be ' don't provide unless it's asked for several times first' Our cabin was missing items which took several requests to ...
