Viking is not my thing

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Viking Saturn

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

Had the opportunity to cruise with Viking for the first time recently. We've done 21 cruises with most of the major players out there, and a few of the premium lines. Positives: - Very clean cabins with 2X day housekeeping - No cruisers under 18 years of age - Perfect sized ship - No upsell once on board - Embarkation / Disembarkation very easy - Decent selection of Video On ...

Not as good as promised.

Ship, stateroom and staff were all great. For the cruise cost, other aspects of the experience were, in our view deficient. Our TV system was of such poor sound quality as to be inaudible and when reported it was clear that Viking had no more interest in a resolution than they do to responding to other constructive criticism. Food is generally quite good but not exceptional and some aspects are ...

This was our ninth cruise with Oceania. We started on Riviera and were totally thrilled. Coming over from Cunard Queens Grill as the Oceania way of doing things suited us better. That first cruise was a 10/10 for us, and we’ve been committed ever since. The small changes that have been made are never to enhance the passenger experience. The food has slipped. Not always, but not as refined, not ...

We were spoiled by our prior cruises and very disappointed with our recent cruise and the sell, sell, sell underhanded charging for services. A few examples. I booked a $199 spa treatment and I had a $50 coupon. I expected a $149 bill with optional tip, but the final bill was $247 plus optional tip because they added service and other charges not discussed with me. Next, Oceania cancelled one ...

My sister and I wanted to visit Istanbul on the newer RSS Splendor, so we were very happy that we made it to the Turkish ports of Istanbul and Izmir, which were the reasons for booking this itinerary. It was my sister's 1st cruise, and she loves cruising now! I have sailed Regent, Oceania, and WindStar with husband and loved all voyages, but this was a girl's getaway. Pre-cruise, we ...

My wife and I chose this cruise to finish a self managed holiday as we were in Europe and wanted to travel through the Suez Canal to Dubai and this cruise had the stops we wanted included three days in Egypt. My wife and I cruised the Silver Spirit from Athens to Dubai in late October through to mid-November 2023 and now have had time to reflect on the experience from booking through to ...

The cruise from Athens to Sydney was split into 3 parts : Athens to Dubai / Dubai to Singapore / Singapore to Sydney. The maximum passenger capacity is approx 2700. The back to back passengers (sailors) totalled 1200 for the 42 days on board. The demographic / average age was 61 yo. Unfortunately despite Virgin Voyages having this information well in advance, the entertainment was aimed at a ...

Was really excited to be boarding this cruise. My cabin is wonderful. The ensuite is very impressive. Full sized shower. Great for the plus size travellers. All staff are extremely friendly and very helpful. The excursions are very physically demanding. The food is really designed for the American pallet. Spicy or overloaded with sugar. The menu really doesn’t alter in the restaurants. On the plus ...

10+ Cruises • Age 80s

We just returned from a 26-day TA from Athens to Fort Lauderdale; actually a 12-day Mediterranean to Barcelona and a 14-day transatlantic crossing to FL. HAL sold it as a single 26-day cruise but the second 14-day leg was much cheaper so many got on in Barcelona for TA. Unfortunately the weather prompted the captain to cancel Cadiz and Portugal. We had also lost 2 ports on the 12day segment but, ...

Pros: Loved the ports - beware though tendering at Zakynthos; unless you had a ship tour booked you could wait 3 hours plus to get off (we gave up) But the ships tours WERE very good and would recommend. I had the “key” package and loved the little perks (great WiFi!) Food - excellent food in MDR and service (buffet not so good - food often tepid and dining area itself is dismal ...
