"Our flight from LHR to PHL departed at 2:25pm, so we only had 1 hour and 10 minutes to get shuttled from Terminal 5 to Terminal 3 (?So we ended up barreling through and LONG hike to the gate, only to find our flight was closed 10 minutes ago...."Read More
This was our second Viking cruise - this time, we took along my sister and brother-in-law, so there were 4 of us, we had 2 rooms on top level. The veranda rooms are terrific, roomy enough, although you're not in the room for long. The room service was impeccable - rooms were cleaned/straightened/fresh towels/cloths/water multiple times a day. The Viking excursions ran like a clock. Specific ...
Recently returned from a Viking Rhine trip on 10/14.
The good:
Rhine water levels were good, no issues. Service on the vessel was A+, excluding one attendant with “attitude” at the front desk. Entertainment was low key but acceptable. Viking succeeds in creating a laid back atmosphere. Viking is like a clock - they run on time. Cabin was nice and shower was exceptional. Most (not all) ...
We appreciate you taking the time to outline your experience, MrBourbon, and would welcome the opportunity to learn more about your trip to address your disappointment in our onboard...
The was our first cruise, so pick the Rhine River because when in Army stationed in Germany.
Enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere of the lounge with the playing the piano in the background. The dining room also was a pleasant atmosphere. Liked the evening briefing on what to expect the next day along with the Daily Viking.
The evening menu selections were excellent as was the lunch menu. ...
The trip was wonderful. I have always wanted to go to Germany . The excursions were really great and I learned so much about each place we went. The guides in each place we went were so interesting and are so full of interesting things to tell you about each city. I really enjoyed seeing all the castles on the Rhine. The staff was so nice and helpful and very much on top of things. The food ...
The ports were great, the tours were enjoyable and informative. The staff was amazing and the food was delicious. Became friends with others on the cruise and looked forward to each day. We were fortunate that there was enough water in the river that we did not have to change ships. That would have been annoying but, no choice. Kind of out of everyone's control
Purchased the Amsterdam ...
I chose this cruise because my sister and her husband had taken it and enjoyed it. After cruising on other lines, I was pleased to find that the ship was more beautiful than I expected. Our rooms were comfortable and always clean and neat. The food was exceptional, the service prompt and the waiters helpful. Our activity director went way beyond what I expected in making arrangements to get us ...
This was our first river cruise. We have been on many ocean cruises, and had that as an expectation.Viking went above and beyond. We were late getting to Cologne, Germany. Rather than us losing a lot of time in Cologne, Viking arranged for us to be dropped off and bussed to Cologne, where we later met the ship. That was certainly above and beyond. I am diabetic. Every night, the chef made a ...
This was our second Viking River Cruise, and both were awesome!! Our first was on the Danube about 5 years ago. On that one we brought our mid 20 year old kids, with friends and girlfriends - they all talk about how it was one of their favorite vacations ever! This one was on the Rhine, originally scheduled for 2020 and canceled twice, so we were thrilled when we could finally go, but worried the ...
While I had already been on the Viking cruise on the Rhine, my husband had not. I had been able to convince him to try a Viking river cruise - which we did in March on the Danube - and he thoroughly enjoyed it. So my fifth Viking river cruise was his second. And it did not disappoint! Although the weather in Europe was unusually hot in late July, the boat was always very comfortable. When we ...
I've had several people recommend Viking River cruises and I wanted something extra special to celebrate mine and my husband's 42nd anniversary. It surpassed our expectations!
Edy was our stateroom steward and did an excellent job taking care of us. We ate in the dining room for most breakfasts and almost every dinner where the food was absolutely delicious, and the service was excellent. ...
