Originally, having never cruised with Viking, the offer of free airfare was an incentive and being away from Colorado snow in December was especially appealing. Now, we will never travel with another cruise line, period!
The on shore people who greeted us on arrival made the transition to the ship extremely easy. Checking in once on board took very little time and the most amazing thing was the customer service. Also the wait staff in each restaurant we visited were so attentive, also at the various bars-truly amazing they remembered our names.
We have already booked our next cruise with Viking after speaking with the Viking historian (who was so knowledgeable and entertaining) and hearing about the special discounts offered to returning guests.
Small, but our cabin steward was wonderful and very accommodating.
