Mexican Riviera Cruise Reviews

For our 3rd traverse of the Panama Canal, we expected Viking to offer a distinct educational experience and culinary quality. Both were average (to be generous). One of the lecturers spent more time presenting his experienes in SE Asia than in the Panama Canal and Central America. None of the lecturers addressed the substance of developments in the canal's routing, engineering, building, and ...

Panama Canal cruise with Viking is the best cruise I have ever been to by far. Buying cruise and after sale communications - A+. Ship Mars - A+. New ship feels like NEW. Great design, smooth sailing. Stateroom - A+. Spacious room with balcony, large bathroom, fully equipped. Food - A-. Buffet on the deck 7 and The Restaurant on the deck 2 are both outstanding. Specially restaurants on ...

This is my second cruise. My first experience cruising was not the best, however this time was amazing! The staff was very nice and attentive. They even new our names and addressed us as such. There can be a little wait to get a drinks, however it goes by really fast. Every food place that we tried was good. I especially enjoyed the Seafood Shack and Big Chicken as well as the Italian restaurant ...

From the embarkation to the sad day we had to leave the ship, it was wonderful. The weather and the seas did not take away from the on board experience. This was our first Viking cruise and I can see why they won Best. We have been sailing with another luxury cruise line that has reduced it's quality. Viking gave us what we paid for. Crew was exceptional from the Officers to cleaning crew. All had ...

That catchphrase is used by Viking, and it's apropos! We explored everything --- the ship, the food, the learning opportunities aboard and ashore. We thought it was quite a great cruise -- the ship is modern, with great ambiance, terrific crew from over 50 countries, amazing food. We enjoyed this being a cruise for adults (no kids under 18), and with no casino to have to go through, and no ...

First off I’ve been on 18 past cruises several lines .. No beginner here! Went aboard open minded , street fights while in line to board. 6 hour delay in ship taking pasangers. Ok this is life. Conditions change in ports. Ok .. but. Finally boarding elderly/ handicapped folks got no expedited assistance from port folks. Zip nada wait in line sucker. Nothing ! Felt like a rock concert. Was ...

We chose this cruise so we could celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary in a special way. This was our first cruise. I would have liked at least two days at each port for further sightseeing. Half a day was just too short. We ate primarily at the World Cafe. I can control what I eat and how much I eat better at a buffet. I don't eat fish and felt there was an over abundance of fish featured ...

I've sailed with Viking before and honestly, won't cruise with anyone else. The ship is marvelous. The support before and during the cruise is professional and total. The staff are unfailingly helpful and pleasant. The excursions well planned and organized. A well written daily newsletter (Viking Daily) provided information about all the goings on for the next day so you have time to decide what ...

We chose this itinerary because we had done a Viking river cruise and thought having a journey with more relaxing time onboard would be very luxurious and relaxing. The accommodations are nice, spotless and relaxing. There are many areas to spread out on the Star. Many places to socialize, have a drink or seek privacy and read a book. Housekeeping services were exceptional, our room steward did a ...

We froze in san francisco till after midnight, told there were sandwiches at hyett, not true. Ship didn't leave until 2am on the 13th so we miss a whole day. No farewell party. Princess, $25.00 will not save your reputation. 2 days later, found fridge wasn't working and my husband's meds went bad, they couldn't find anything to replace it in any mexico ports. Our last port and the rest of our trip ...
