Sail Date: Oct 2016

The cruise was suggested by friends and we arrived in Venice with reasonable expectations of Viking's usual efficiency. This was our third experience with the company.

At the airport we we told we had no transfer arrangements and I had to dig through luggage to prove it had indeed been prepaid.

We arrived at our cabin which was filled with paint fumes. we thought they would disperse and opened the door. By the second day we could taste paint, the fumes were so bad and after whining an air purifier arrived and we were notified the problem was "solved". That was more or less true by the fifth day and after one of us became ill.

Don't expect a view out of the front. Also do expect to have to pull your drapes, not matter how bad the toxic fumes are, as soon as it is dark. The captain needs that to be done so he can see.
