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.

Cabin Review

Cabin delux veranda

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.
