I enjoyed meeting people, the great restaurants, no loud music and no casino. The included excursions were well organized and interesting and the optional tours which I had the pleasure of joining were also well worth the cost. I enjoyed The Restaurant where we ate most of our dinners and found Mamsen's a quiet place for breakfast and sometimes lunch. The specialty restaurants were excellent and I particularly enjoyed the Asian cuisine in The Chef's Table. My sister enjoyed being able to look up the day's menus for the restaurants whereas I preferred to have a surprise!

I appreciated the fact that Viking was still able to offer the cruise despite the difficulties with the hurricanes and even added a stop in St. Croix at the very last minute. I enjoyed the friendliness of every member of the crew with whom I came into contact and never heard a grumble from anyone.
