Terrible Food

Review for a Canada & New England Cruise on Zaandam

Chaswyck
2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

We chose this cruise because it traveled to places we’d never been before. We are still on the cruise as I’m writing this and we’re not very happy. The food at the Lido buffet is absolutely terrible and that seems to be the consensus is most of the passengers we’ve spoken to. The only very good food on the ship is at the Pinnacle Grill but there is a hefty surcharge and reservations are difficult ...

My First Viking Adventure

Review for a Canada & New England Cruise on Viking Octantis

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

We chose this cruise for a family reunion adventure. There were four siblings and two spouses. My brother had been on two Viking Cruises and when this one came up he thought it would be great family fun. We all agreed and set his plan in action. We met up in Thunder Bay where Viking collected us at the airport and delivered us in grand fashion to the docks, treated us to a snack and ushered us on ...

Great crew! Undiscovered Great Lakes

Review for a Canada & New England Cruise on Viking Octantis

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

We sailed the Viking Octantis Undiscovered Great Lakes cruise (Thunder Bay to Milwaukee). First the ship is exceptional as are the crew members. Very, very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the itinerary, especially the three days in Canadian waters where the ship's "toys" could be used. We were fortunate to be able to go on the sub dive, Zodiak and Special Operations Boats. We did not try the ...

Shoddy, old ship

Review for a Canada & New England Cruise on Liberty of the Seas

10+ Cruises • Age 40s

This ship hasn't been renovated since it was launched in 2009 and it really shows. A cruise ship is a floating hotel. This is like a cheap roadside motel. One that is insanely crowded so you wait in line for everything. Every detail is wrong from the thin, stained towels to the table cloths in the main dining room, also covered in stains. We got to the show 30 minutes early and were turned away ...

My first expedition cruise

Review for a Canada & New England Cruise on Viking Octantis

Gillofwestgables
First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

I had never cruised before as always thought it would be done in later years when we were less active but this was great. Trips out on zodiacs, special ops boats, submarines, canoes and the tender made for a great adventure in the Great Lakes. We stopped at some interesting destinations for hiking, cycling, wide life watching or horse drawn carriage tours. On board cabin facilities were top notch ...

Viking is PERFECT !

Review for a Canada & New England Cruise on Viking Polaris

Marty Graw
2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

We had booked a Viking River Cruise in Europe in 2020. This was canceled because of COVID 19. We had a credit from Viking that we had to use and we were not yet ready to fly after Covid. So we booked this cruise out of New York City so that we did not have to fly (we live in PA.) Everything was clean and comfortable. Thoughtfully designed. Exemplary service! Outstanding food and beverages. ...

Review for a Canada & New England Cruise on Viking Polaris

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

We took a river cruise last fall and really enjoyed it. Some friends and us decided to try all 3 of Viking cruise ships. Viking does a first class job of getting you to the boat, making you feel welcome and catering to your every need. All of the crew, no matter what the level were engaging, helpful, at times entertaining. They were always professions yet engaging and friendly. You get a ...

A most satisfying and enjoyable journey

Review for a Canada & New England Cruise on Viking Polaris

dtostilane
2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

We have taken Viking River cruises in Europe, but this is our first cruise on their Expedition class ships. We loved the attention to detail, good food, service and thoughtful excursions on the river cruises, and this cruise was no exception. We were greeted by our steward as we arrived at the cabin and warmly welcomed. The ship is very comfortable, and the number of passengers is small enough ...

Montreal to Boston in the Spring

Review for a Canada & New England Cruise on Zaandam

Texgal13
10+ Cruises • Age 70s

Weather as expected, cool & rainy, but it was great weather for reading a book and watching the scenery go by. We did this cruise the first time in 2014 and thought it would be fun to do again...and it was. Biggest change is Canada has now restricted speed to 10 knots an hour to protect whales in area. We thought this was a great change although it did cut time in port by an hour to several in ...

Review for a Canada & New England Cruise on Viking Octantis

Rphcoffman
10+ Cruises • Age 60s

We chose this cruise because we wanted to stay in North America and see some areas that we have never been. The Octantis is a beautiful ship . We bought the lowest grade room accommodation and it was wonderful. Spacious, comfortable bed, retractable outside window, large bathroom with HEATED floors, all amenities. Located on deck 2 , a quick ride to deck 5 , turn the corner and at World ...
