The two of us would not normally chose to book on a Carnival ship line because of their nickel and dime business model. But their transatlantic service is a Cunard specialty and, if you have the time, cruising is at least as plush as a business class flight and at about the same price. We’d recommend it for that reason alone.
We were in a Britannia Club cabin meaning we ate in the Britannia ...
Okay, first things first - the very worst embarkation experience in 40 years of cruising. Brooklyn's Red Hook terminal is small, over-crowds easily, and was understaffed. We stood on line for two solid hours. Horrible.
Regarding my title, please leave behind any ideas of 21st century cruising. Cunard is firmly rooted in a prior age - and that is good and bad - depending on expectations. ...
QM 2 is a wonderful ship. It is very nautical and has a large number of venues in which to eat, dance, drink or listen to music. The activities on this crossing which focused on art and design were very good. The entertainment in the main showroom was fair. The food is commparable to most mid to upper tier ships which is good but not great. The pub had good food and an excellent irish duo ...
We selected this cruise because of the reduced price. It was a remarkable deal. It was our first Viking ocean cruise. We love the Viking river cruises and have taken several. We liked the size of the ship and the passenger capacity; as we prefer the smaller ships to the mega ships. The food was very good; in both the main dining room and the specialty restaurants. The shows were lackluster - ...
This was our first cruise and we loved it. We chose Viking Homelands because friends took it and raved about it to us.
I did have trouble with sea sickness the first night out of Bergen while traveling out into the North Sea, rough waters.
The medical team took good care of me and I was fine for the rest of the trip.
Loved the cabin, decor, service, ammenities, food, spa, entertainment, ...
We chose this cruise because it was close to home. We have enjoyed Viking cruises because they are not only well done but educational. The expedition cruise was more than we expected.
Really enjoyed the boat having less than 400 passengers.
Our cabin stewards were always available to help or answer our questions.
We ate in the specialty restaurants three times for our evening meal. ...
What a wonderful experience this was. Not like any other cruise we’ve ever been on.
Food was delicious, service excellent, ship new! Rooms were so comfortable.
We spent our days in Zodiacs and military style jet boats cruising the lakes. We always had a scientist on board to explain the geological features we passed. Back on board, a wide range of lectures and science studies were ...
We took the stated cruise with the pre trip extension to Cappadoccia and the 3 subsequent week cruises through the Mediterranean to Spain. It was a trip of a lifetime. Viking was very well organized and got us to places that would have taken us extensive effort on our own. The ship was clean well staffed. We had the lowest cost room, a veranda on the 3rd deck and were very comfortable. It was ...
We choose Viking because it is the best cruise line in the World. No gambling and no children. No upcharges and no table selling. The staff are always accommodating and trying to please! The rooms are spacious and always refreshed each day. The food is plentiful and available all the time. In fact, where can you get unlimited King Crab and Lobster? Really enjoyed the land tours and the tour ...
We cruise a lot and the Viking Sky is the prettiest ship we have experienced. Spacious and comfortable. The staff are wonderful.
The quality of food is good but not great. More than enough offers, but the quality was uneven. Several frequent Viking clients agreed with my assessment. The Italian specialty restaurant was anything but special. We cancelled several of our reservations and opted ...
