We chose this cruise when we saw the exceptionally great price and the itinerary to places we'd never seen.
We were very impressed with the Viking staff who helped with the reservations and answering questions post cruise. When you talked to someone there, they knew or got the answers immediately and didn't switch me to another department. They always followed up the conversation with a confirmation of what they'd told me and ask if there is anything else they could do; assuring me that I should feel free to contact them again.
The embarkation was seamless and we chose the room on the absolute stern which gave us great views, of both sides and quiet with on one passing our suite.
Review above. Positives: a little larger veranda; great panoramic views, quiet, convenient to all restaurants and the buffet which are all in the back of the ship.
Negatives: Very little drawer or shelf storage; closet ample but so close to bed in king configuration that it was difficult to get into the closet and impossible to put your shoes on.
