My wife and I booked an ocean cruise for our Christmas holiday and made sure it was long enough to also include New Year’s Eve, our anniversary. We were so excited!
We’ll, we were excited until we started trying to book our dining and excursions. I don’t know how Viking works it, but they open the booking at 11:00 PM eastern and I started up to be able to get good reservations. Dining ...
We appreciate you taking the time to share these details, Bretgida. While we are pleased to learn you found our onboard staff helpful and friendly, we regret that you were unable to secure...
Food was recycled several times to the point that it got spoiled. I ate gummy shrimp first night at seafood buffet and got food poisoning and severe stomach cramps. Before ten day cruise was over got food poisoning three times. Most of cruise stayed within 50 yards of a bathroom. Most shore excursions were impossible to take as gastric problems existed. Every night at sea was very rougn but ...

Very Noisy!
Ask Viking personnel, including booking agents, or query the Web about Viking ocean ship cabin sound-proofing and you will get assurance that the cabins are very sound-proofed. However, that is not true.
You can hear doors slam on each side, as well as the rooms above and below, which makes for door wars -- bad design. Some hotels have fixed it, but not Viking. You can hear ...
Room Service was terrible. The luggage forwarding, my name brand clothes are stolen by either the luggage forwarding company or port crew. Not enough activities for the world cruiser. Very disappointed with this cruise, was expecting the service to be outstanding. Some bartenders are good and some are disappointing. The Head Chef is excellent but when he left for vacation the food was not ...
Yes you do get one included excursion but if you have already taken the tour offered, you can’t transfer it to another excursion in the same port.
The talented entertainment was good but don’t go looking for a big production number.
This is the first time ever we have had food poisoning on a ship. I got it first and within 6 hours so did my wife. It wasn’t seasickness because we have never ...
Heard they were a top cruise line in Travel magazines. They had to have had to pay for someone to say that, it just isn't so. I called Viking inquiring about the cruise. My first and most important question was " does this penthouse in fact have a KING size bed and NOT a super queen. I was assured by the Viking rep that IT WAS A KING! Due to health I was on a low to no sodium diet. When I ...

My wife and I enjoyed this cruise for the most part, in spite of the numerous issues encountered, and were able to achieve our fundamental goals of relaxing and reconnecting during this much-anticipated, 25th wedding anniversary trip. However, much of this relaxation was achieved irrespective of Viking, and NOT because of them, and the experience was overpriced for what was delivered. This ...
Dear Goodguys,
We appreciate you taking the time to review your journey. We’re sorry to hear that the service, itinerary, and the steak at Manfredi’s did not live up to your expectations,...
First of all, let me start by saying that my sister and I have been cruising for 20+ years and in all those years this is the worst cruise we have ever been on. We booked this a month before sailing with vouchers from a cancelled cruise leaving Oct 13 requiring us to fly back from hurricane devastated Puerto Rico which we felt was not safe for 2 senior ladies so we re-booked on the Oct 29 cruise ...
Dear Long Island Girl,
Thank you for the opportunity to address your concerns. We sincerely regret that your Viking experience fell below expectations. The disappointments you describe in...
