As I stated above, I always wanted to cruise on the Rhine River. Many people I have known have been on Viking cruises and had wonderful things to say about their cruises and encouraged me to go on on. I do not like being on ocean cruises so these river cruises are perfect for me.
Once we booked the trip, using My Viking Journey was very helpful to use so we could plan excursions and other ...
I almost never write reviews and I'm afraid this one is going to be long, but I feel I must say something. I have been on 8 cruises on 5 different lines and my wife, growing up in Long Beach, lost count but is over 50 cruises. This cruise has broken us from EVER going on NCL and almost from ANY cruise line ever again. From pre-boarding to disembarking almost every aspect was a zero. While I take ...
Luxury crusing at its best. Although our tour was booked on the Jewel, we actually sailed on the sister ship the Jade, due to prior water level. On arrival we were greated by friendly staff that quickly became like family. The rooms are spacious and beds are top quality. Our personal butler, cabin steward, bar staff, wait staff, activities crew members and all others behind the scenes were ...
We had scheduled this cruise many years ago and postponed it twice. Once for family and once for covid. We chose this cruise based on friends/travel companion recommendations. The cruise was very good and we enjoyed ourselves very much. It met and exceeded our expectations. Our first river cruise and as expected it was very different from the ocean ones. We are happy we booked a veranda suite ...
I study history and have wanted to go to Belgium and the Netherlands to see the culture, architecture and art. We have tried a few cruise lines but like Viking the best. The cruise meet are high expectations for Viking. The tour guides were all excellent and fun. The cruise director Chantel was the best. She was full of enthusiasm and fun. She was very interactive with the cruisers. She made the ...
Here are the good and bad about this particular trip via Norwegian Getaway. Boarding was a disaster. No consideration for your selected boarding time. Spent well over 2 hours in line outside to get on ship. Room was a balcony and was good except for outlets. There were no USB outlets and two plugs. Hair dryer is close to balcony and not in bathroom. Small regfrigerator filled with water ...
Excellent ship; great food; no nickel and dimming; beautiful room; incredible bathroom; public bathrooms clean and beautiful; plenty of hand sanitizers everywhere; great specialty restaurants with several of them included in the fare; efficient port stops; great staff with few exceptions; plenty of seating in restaurants and in public spaces; great menus; some dishes too salty; entertainment is ...
We heard this cruise line was ok. Wow, were we wrong! Uncaring, indifferent personnel. Mediocre food at best. Restaurants and buffets were subpar.
They made many errors regarding our documentation including screwing up the transfer to the airport. We meticulously provided the information and reviewed for accuracy. They still screwed up. We were forced to pay an exorbitant amount of money ...
Cruise chosen as it was a round trip from Southampton [Portsmouth], so that did not involve flying and we could drive right to the terminal and leave the car in the hands of the efficient on-site parking company.
We boarded smoothly and went directly to our cabin.
We sailed on time into the Channel, where the sea was very smooth.
The cabin was excellent and newly re-furbished. The ...
We responded to a special offer as we liked the look of the itinerary. Some guests arriving by private car found that the problems started before boarding as they had not been sent luggage labels. We phoned in advance to ask about this and were told that we get them at check-in. Great, but by then we would have dropped our car off for parking and our bags would have been taken by the baggage ...
