Viking Star Review
Rating by category
Additional details
To be honest we took this cruise because there were not as many port visits, and so we could relax more on the ship, having cruise with Viking before, we know that the service on the ship is always excellent.
Attend the lectures, although not all were to our taste, but the ones that where, we really enjoyed. Plus the activities were really good and kept us very interested. especially the shows and the use of the Gym. The dining was very good, even though we mainly ate in the World Cafe, it gave us chance to meet other passengers.
The only complain that we have, is the flight down with United, having to fly via Huston in Texas, and being stuck there for three hours waiting for a night flight to San Juan, was bad enough. but Huston to San Juan was terrible. Due to the weather problems in Canada, we had decided to leave a day earlier, which was probably the reason for the flight, however I feel that as Viking have the booking so far in advance a better set up could be made. The flight from Toronto to Texas was very good, but the flight from Huston to San Juan was terrible, so cramped I could not get my legs under the seat in front, which did not make for a very good night flight.
Cabin Review
Cabin was excellent and kept very clean, lots of room with a very comfortable bed and soft pillow.
Port Reviews
Casablanca
It was a good tour, but it was not the Casablanca that we had envisioned, we expected to see the old lanes with the carpet sellers, unfortunately it is now a very modern City and the old places were gone.
Seville
We did a walking tour of Cadiz, which was very good, we had a guide who really Knew her history and we visited a lot of places.
Valencia
A really modern City, we took the coach ride, but unfortunately because of the time we were only able to see the modern buildings from the coach, it would have been better if we would have been able to vies the buildings for a longer time than just driving slowly past. Still the guide knew his City and was able to impart that onto the people on the coach.
