Viking Ocean Barcelona Cruise Reviews

Experienced cruisers on multiple lines over many years, Regent, Oceania, Seabourn, Celebrity, Cunard, Carnival, Royal Carribean, and in our opinion Viking is not good value for money. Room attendants were excellent. Another postive is that only over 18 allowed on board. Embarkation and disembarkation good. In room TV entertainment good. Food was medicocre and lacks options. Only 2 ...

"The first high is nearly impossible to duplicate. As users try to escape the rebound low and recreate that initial feeling, they take more and more of the drug." - Methproject.org This was our 2nd cruise with Viking Ocean, and 10th overall. It was a 7-night cruise embarking at Barcelona and ending at Civitavecchia. We had the best cruise ever on the Viking Sky in March 2022, and we were ...

We booked a cruise from Barcelona to Venice (Fusina). We travel independently, and planned four days in Barcelona before taking a taxi to the ship. A week before embarkation, we were told it would now take place in Tarragona (105 km away). Any transfer plans for independent travelers? Sorry, said Viking. You are on your own. Our 90 minute taxi to Tarragona cost $185 euros. A week after we got ...

We have done over 70 cruises with a number of different cruise companies and had read, and seen on You Tube, very positive views on Viking so we thought we would try it out - in retrospect a mistake. The good points - the ship is well planned; the décor was pleasant and it’s easy to find your way about. There is ample deck space and the retractable roof over the pool is a great facility. The ...

We booked this cruise over 2 years ago and was seriously thinking about cancelling it and rebooking for a later date. We didn't due to no availability until 2023. Hind site is 20/20 and we should have canceled. We embarked in Barcelona and disembarked in Venice. This was first ever once in a lifetime cruise. We had high expectations due to great Viking reviews. Viking was being very cautious ...

We booked back to back Mediterranean cruises, Dec 30 2018, and Jan 6 2019. We were attracted by the itinerary, and the wonderful reviews of Viking. The itinerary turned out to be misleading, and Viking appeared to suffer from institutional disorganization and generally poor food and service.. Ports - After paying in full soon after booking, which is a Viking requirement, we discovered that the ...

This was cruise # 3 with Viking, we are contemplating on cancelling our next cruise. On board entertainment was the same on all three cruises, very boring. We were told by the cruise director ( he joined the cruise 10 days after living Barcellona) they were contemplating changing talent agency, to late for us. The restaurant wait staff reached the point of being a nuisance ( ...

We had gone on a previous Viking Ocean cruise and LOVED it. On that cruise we went from Bergen to Stockholm. We told all our friends how wonderful it was. This cruise was the complete opposite. Before we sailed one of the destinations was eliminated (Tunisia) and replaced by Naples which we were already scheduled to go to prior to the cruise. So we had a week in Sorrento/Naples prior to the ...

I chose this cruise to see the Mediterranean and explore cities. The weather was terrible. It snowed or rained almost everyday. The Barcelona tour was terrible. Couldn't understand the tour guide. Asked tour guide if we were going to sagra da familia and she replied yes we will see gothic church. In fact we were taken to a gothic church but it wasn't sagar da familia. Multiple people on the bus ...

Fourth Viking Cruise with good friends. This was the first non river cruise. Not as good as a river cruise. Fewer passengers on river cruise makes it easier to enjoy dining and other facilities. Restaurant facilities not as good as river cruise restaurants. We spent two days in Barcelona before boarding ship which was a great experience. Viking employees at hotel went above board to assist ...
