Friends were going. Like traveling by ship with all of the amenities. Disappointed that we were not able to see more of Barcelona. The docks were too far from the center of town. The ship was awesome. Viking really catered to the older adult. Food was fantastic. I am to 2 other cruises on the same size ship. We were docked at the downtown area and were able walk on and off the ship. I would have liked to see more of the cities, especially Barcelona. Dining was enjoyable. The breakfast and lunch buffets were great and the dinner dining room and staff were awesome. The dining hour was a plus for seniors. The shows were fantastic - of the times. Movies could get a little uncomfortable after an hour. Especially enjoyed tea time. Flights were booked with no long waits for connecting flights. I am considering a river cruise in the near future.
