I was looking forward to visiting Puerto Rico and many of the Lesser Antilles islands. Many of those islands suffered major damage from the 2017 hurricanes, but we were able to visit most of those ports-of-call anyway. It was great to see the positive spirit of the people in each location hat had been affected. We tried to imagine what those places may have looked like before the hurricane destruction. The aboard-ship services were unaffected by the damage. Everything was first-rate, as always! Staterooms, public spaces, dining facilities, fitness center, and shops -- all were excellent!, My wife has special dietary needs, and these were addressed throughout our cruise. Sailing on Viking Cruises is more expensive than many alternate provides, but we weren't nickel-and-dimed to death, as on virtually all other cruise lines. On Viking, everything that a passenger might want is provided in the cruise fee. This was our second time on Viking Sea, and we had a wonderful experience, again!
