We had a mid ship DELUXE VERANDA....I was expecting a better cabin.
THE VIKING SEA has a major shortage of storage space in the cabins. They know about it and have done nothing...What could be done? Hutches on the desk, a small chest of drawers in the closet, replace night stands with real shelf space.
SCHEDULING OF MAJOR ACTIVIES and DINING: 6:30 -7:15 pm is the guest lecturer in the theater; after which a mob descents upon the “ anytime” RESTAURANT. If you scoot out a few minutes early- you're more apt to get a table right away. The major entertainment shows start at 9:15 pm back in the theater (there's only one show) - The problem- the kitchen is SLOW. We rarely made it to the show on time. AND when we did- there were NO SEATS!! What can be done?: We discovered the World café as a substitute to the dining room. Food was excellent and the Seafood was plentiful (Shrimp and King Crab Legs), However, my husband and I enjoy being served…so when we opted for the Restaurant- there was a conflict with time. What can be done? Viking could start the guest Lectures (which were excellent) earlier, perhaps at 6pm and start the show a little later, perhaps at 9:30 pm.
VERY comfortable beds. CABINS ARE SAMLL. Major shortage of storage space in the cabins. Nice sized bathroom with full shower. Floors were heated...which many liked...I did not- as it made the bathroom too hot. My make-up started melting!! They were able to it turn off. It's not controlled within the cabin.
The Orkney Islands and standing stones were a nice surprise.
Beautiful Fjord- great views from bus tour and from the ship
