I took this cruise with all five sisters and spouses. This is the second Viking cruise the ten of us have taken. We began with two extra days in Barcelona. Fantastic decision as it gave us time to see Barcelona and visit many of its attractions.
When it was time to embark we everything went somewhat smoothly. Although, the constant TSA like security every time we boarded got old fast. Once on board it took many of us a while before our roo ms were ready. Yet this transition went relatively smooth considering the number of people boarding.
As a group we usually ate our meals in the World Cafe. Although, all ten of us did eat at Manfredi's Italian restaurant twice. My wife and I also ate at the Chef's table a couple of times.
I enjoyed the room. However, I don't think it was much different than many hotel rooms. The included coffee maker worked well when we wanted it before leaving in the morning. However, I found going to the World Café gave me better coffee options.
Had the opportunity to participate in the annual lifeboat celebration
