This was our first cruise with Viking. We have sailed with Silversea, Road Scholar, Uniworld and other lines. We wanted to cruise in the Panama Canal and this seemed like the right choice. It was. An easy plane trip from Philadelphia to Fort Lauderdale. Viking handled all of the transfers. We were personally greet at the airport. It was an easy check-in and then were able to start enjoying the excellent food and service Viking provides.
Food was excellent. Service was wonderful. I could have used a little more activities on the ship but that is me. I used the indoor pool in the thermal suite on deck 1 almost daily. On the way there I had to walk past the bar where they had the most delicious cookies. I also tried to use the Fitness Center daily.
Cabin attendants were wonderful. We found a favorite server in The Restaurant and asked to be seated at one of his table.
