We recently cruised the Western Caribbean on the Viking Sky, leaving Miami on January 10. This was our first ocean cruise with Viking. We had done two previous river cruises with Viking and liked their product, and we were looking forward to trying their ocean cruises. Overall, it was our 11th ocean cruise. We had three prior cruises on Star Clippers, two each on Carnival, NCL and Celebrity, and one on Royal Caribbean.

Ship Impressions

We really enjoyed the ship. With a maximum capacity of 930 passengers, it never felt crowded. There were plenty of areas offering peace and quiet, even on the sea days. The crew kept all areas of the ship very clean. As with Viking's river cruises, the service throughout the ship was excellent. There were plenty of servers and assistants during meal times, and the staff appeared very happy to be working on the ship. Read more
