Viking Sea Cruise Review by happygolucky887
- Sail Date: Nov 2019
- Destination: the Caribbean
I chose this cruise because I wanted a smaller ship. The ship was very nice, but the main pool only had the roof partially open so there was no breeze making it unbearable hot. The entertainment in the evenings was nice but needed more variety. The same 4 singers did shows 4 nights on the cruise. Two other nights were the cruise directors singing. Two nights (first and last) didn't have a show. The movie in the pool area was never used except for the dancing under the stars to show everyone dancing. It would be nice if they had more variety in the shows (comedian, impressionist, hypnotist, etc.). There were no cute audience shows (i.e. newlywed game) which can provide quite a few laughs. The included excursions were not great but paid excursions were awesome. The destination was the Caribbean so there wasn't much difference between each of the islands which may be why the included excursions were just ok. Each island seemed a repeat of the previous island. The service was fabulous and I loved the balcony. Also loved that it was easy to walk everywhere.
Cabin Review
the cabin was great. We were on the 4th floor and since there were 8 floors we were close to everything and only had to walk 4 floors to go up or down. We did wish there was more storage in the cabin. The drawers were half the size of what they looked like they should be able to hold and they had a desk but no drawers. They had 2 chairs that they should replace with a dresser or other storage (1 chair/1 dresser??) We found it was hard to find enough space to put our clothes without asking for a bunch more hangers and putting clothes on the chairs.
Port & Shore Excursion Reviews
Mallory Leroux (our chef) was amazing! We made 2 dishes and both were delicious! Mallory was hilarious and great to learn from.
View All undefined undefined Reviewsit was a little scary as we were driving up to the tubing location as the roads were horrible and there were more rapids than we expected BUT the team was AMAZING! They had guides strategically placed at each of the rapids to make sure no one got stuck on a rock and to guide the tubes in the best path possible for a fun ride!
