Worst cruise we have ever been on. Food was bland. Had beef tenderloin one night..couldn't cut it..too tough. Food was so unappetizing that we ate as many meals off the boat as we could. Miserly entertainment on board. Cocky wait staff in bar. Viking used to dock close to downtown spots so you could walk around. This trip, most dockings were in commercial shipping warehouse areas. Room was so small, I had to crawl across bed to get in and out of it. Wine selection at dinner was an insult, a cheap red and cheaper white. Both were undrinkable. Several staff members seemed to be on their first cruise...inexperienced. Shore excursions were rushed, couldn't really delve into the locations. We didn't take any extra-cost excursions this time as they were terribly overpriced. I could go on, but why bother. We will never go on Viking again. They used to be a lot better.

French Balcony

Barely adequate for a 2 week cruise.
