It was our first Viking cruise. We wanted to try out Viking so we picked this cruise because of length and places we had never been. We had a wonderful time. Everything was what our friends told us it would be. Service was super even when we were delayed for a day. The cabin was nice and clean. Bed was comfortable, TV worked well and closet space was adequate. Meals were very tasty and the fellow passengers were lots of fun. it was nice to have a choice in where to eat. Afternoon cookies were a nice plus after tour for a day. The ability to eat in town was a plus too. The tours were very informative and with the whisper machine we were able to hear the tour guide. it was nice to be able to look around and still hear what was being said about the history of what we were seeing. We are now trying an ocean cruise next year.
