Viking Ocean Miami Cruise Reviews

We chose this trip because of the opportunity to experience the Panama Canal. It was the highlight of the trip. This review will concentrate on the excursions - mostly because I found few reviews on Cruise Critic about this itinerary before I took it. The staff and service were excellent. The comments are about my personal reactions to the excursions. In general, the quality was high, but I ...

We had originally booked this as a Cuba cruise (until Trump put and end to that) but decided to stick with the booking after Viking offered some decent incentives. I love cruising having previously sailed with (Oceania x 2, Norwegian x 2, Celebrity x 2, Disney, Holland America, and Princess). We have sailed everything from the 4,000 passenger Norwegian Bliss to the 650 passenger Oceania Nautica, ...

Over the past 35 years my wife and I have been on over 25 ocean cruises. We had sailed with 4 other cruise lines, but this is the first Viking Ocean Cruise. We chose Viking as they have a ship with a great deal fewer passengers. Not that my wife and I have anything against being with a large group of people, but we were looking for a less busy, noisy cruise and we thought with less ...

Our goal for this cruise vacation was to have a wellness retreat: to eat healthy food, to read a lot, to walk 10,000 steps daily and to relax in the spa and the Viking Sky fulfilled our wishes! This was the first time we sailed on a Viking Cruise and the reviews on this site helped us immensely with both deciding on the cruise and preparing for the cruise. BOOKING We called Viking direct ...

We enjoyed Viking Reine cruise and wanted to try Viking Ocean cruise. Viking handled our flights, and transfers which went smoothly. The smaller Viking Sky was particularly enjoyable for us compared to the many larger cruise vessels we have sailed on with other companies. All the support crew - housekeeping, bar and restaurant staff, and Customer Service staff, were particularly friendly and ...

Selected this cruise line after much research. We are in our 60's and wanted an experience that was easy, comfortable and well planned. We splurged and went for a Penthouse Jr Suite that turned out to be better than we had expected. Plenty of room for two people to lounge around in with outstanding views from the large veranda. The added perks to a room like this were very fun, they do your ...

I had been on a River Cruise and loved it, it was perfect. So we decided to try a Viking Ocean Cruise. The best cruise ever. We have been on 5 different cruise lines before. No nickel-and-diming on Viking which we appreciated, no overpriced water, it was free. The alternative restaurants, especially the Chef's Table, was a wonderful experience. We also took 2 cooking classes on the ship with Chef ...

Cruise was great, could not fault the ship which was just the right size compared to the other large ships we had been on previously, although still got lost in the early stages. The food was fab even the canteen as I called it was as good as some of the main restaurants. We had a drinks package which we thought was good value for us. The staff very friendly happy and great service. No nickle and ...

To experience a smaller ship with less crowds. The explorers lounge quickly became our go to spot. Lots of comfortable seating with beautiful views, provided peace & solitude. We experienced excellent customer service in every department. Many great food options. Easy to get a table in all venues. The LIV Nordic Spa sealed the deal for me! The staff is focused, dedicated & extremely ...

We chose this cruise to go to Cuba and were disappointed that didn't work out. Then we kept the cruise with the revised itinerary in order to see Key West. That didn't work out either as we didn't stop there due to rough waters. But the cruise was nice. Loved the lectures. Ship was nice. The main dining room service was very slow and they seemed understaffed. The other dining venues were much ...
