This was my first cruise. My sister and I went with our Mom and her husband on this cruise, it was on her bucket list to go on one. We had a wonderful time and were very pleased we picked Viking for our first cruise. It was wonderful to be treated like royalty for the duration of our trip.

We were met at the airport and shuttled directly to the ship with no issues whatsoever. I believe that initially we were to arrive the previous day and stay in a hotel in San Juan but with the hurricanes, most hotels were either not usable or full of displaced residents and people helping with the rebuilding. When we disembarked, we were dropped off at the airport directly. I also understand that normally, we would stay at a hotel near the airport for our wait but that option was unavailable.

We were very impressed with the quality of the service and amenities Viking provided, from the staff that remembered our names and greeted us whenever we met to the fine food provided by all the restaurants. We ate breakfast and lunch primarily at the World Cafe and a majority of our dinners at The Restaurant. I can see no reason to eat dinner at the buffet when you can have such wonderful meals at The Restaurant. We had two dinners at the Chef's Table which were very unique and enjoyable although not meals we would eat on a regular basis, this restaurant is a tasting menu with wine pairings. We also enjoyed afternoon tea in the Wintergarden, a nice, relaxing break after a busy day. Read more
