Firstly I and tens of thousand of others are being 'MIS-SOLD'. The customer is given the opportunity and often pays extra to choose a balcony cabin or similar, only that MSC cannot be bothered to log the details and given a random cabin, yes we are in the computer age. This is a known issue with Cruise Consolidators and happened to us on MSC Seaview in December last year and the Preziosa in April ...
The cruise was chosen because we anted to see more of Holland and Belgium as well as the flowers in bloom at this time of the year.
We were welcomed abord the Emerald Luna by the staff and show the cabin its controls and features. The cabin was just the right size containing shower room toilet bed two chairs and table very comfortable large bed, wardrobes cupboards and drawers. Our cases ...
For our 35th anniversary we wanted to visit Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and England. After our trip being delayed twice due to COVID the year before, we finally were able to go. And it well exceeded our expectations!! The staff was over the top and the ship was not crowded at all, only at about 80 percent capacity. We especially enjoyed the daily excursion when we were able to go as they were ...
We will never take another cruise line again. The ship was wonderful. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful!! We met the best new friends that we plan to cruise on Viking again with. We booked our next cruise while we were on the ship. We can't go until April 2024, but I have a feeling that if we can sneak away from work, we may take another one before then. We would like to ...
My background is in Horticulture and I have been in that field for 55 years. I have always wanted to see the Tulips of the Netherlands and had great interest in their progressive ideas in Horticulture and Agriculture. I am also fascinated by the history of Europe. And how can I leave out Belgian Beer! The crew was top-notch and very engaged with all of the passengers. The ship itself was ...
We enjoyed our opportunity to see Sagrada Familia on the pre-trip as during the trip this excursion was sold out before the opening date for excursions. We loved our balcony room and proximity to the elevator. The ship was friendly, clean, and elegant. We spent the extra money for every excursion because the included trips did not allow for any in-depth experiences. We enjoyed the tour to ...
This was my second Rhine River cruise with Viking. I did the same one with my husband in 2018 and was lucky enough to be invited along with my uncle and cousins on their voyage.
I have nothing but amazing things to say about Viking. Service and food are extraordinary. Right away several of the restaurant and bar staff had learned our names and gave us personal attention. We were always taken ...
Wanted to do a small ocean cruise and to see a sampling of cities and countryside. We were able to do most of the excursions we wanted. However, when we tried to sign up for some in advance, it indicated availability, but would not let us book (i.e. Porto - port wine). One was not as described - Filigree museum, but tour director said he would report discrepancy to Viking. All others were ...
We were particularly interested in seeing the Normandy beaches where the allies landed. We are from the New Orleans area, and had toured the WW2 museum not too long ago. This itinerary peaked our interest mostly for that reason. Paris is, of course, marvelous. France is a beautiful country, and there is history and something to learn everywhere. Seeing Monet's gardens (Giverny) was amazing ...
We chose this cruise because a) I wanted to be away for 2 weeks and b) the Rhine has been on the bucket list for ages.
There were only 73 guests on board, not unusual for the first voyage of the season apparently. There were 4 Brits on board, including us, and 2 Canadians. The rest of the guests were American.
Our fellow guests were a delight. They were interesting and interested in the ...
