We are investigating who we would sail with for a round the world. So far RSSC, Oceania, Silver Seas, and Viking have been tested. We ditched RSSC after a sub standard cruise in South America. We sailed with Viking Ocean in 2 years ago and circled back for this itinerary. The service was almost as good as our previous cruise. . That cruise, no one ever said no to our requests. This cruise we had a few no answers. But mostly yes. The service was almost as good as before, but the service on the World Cafe Terrace was definitely an outlier with respect to service. We felt like we were being purposely ignored. No problem ever in side, in the Restaurant, Chef's table or Manfredi's. One marvelous day about 2 pm after a late excursion, we had to ask the supervisor twice for water. The wait staff all were standing at the bar facing away from the terrace, the ocean, and the diners. It was almost that bad a few other days. Never a problem inside. The room was fine. The excursions were good. Thankfully they have added strenuous excursions so we can work off the food intake. The fitness center was excellent..The internet was slow, but that was expected. The house wines (no silver package) were marginal at best. My SO kept to sparkling wine and I mostly had white. The menu was repetitive, which was very different from our first cruise with them. So I sense a small push to have folks with a little wine palate to head for the silver beverage package, if they are on the margin. The heavy drinkers will already be there. And a bit of a push to go with the food venues with an upcharge if it does not come with your room. Dont worry, we booked another cruise with them and have a river cruise in a couple of months. No line is perfect, but we sensed a little slipping with this cruise.
