Viking Ocean Miami Cruise Reviews

We have done 4 world cruises previously and wanted to try their first World Cruise 141 days.The ship is lovely the food was like most ships we did not as a whole enjoy the specialty restaurants the food was not the higher quality we expected. The portions were small and usually too salty or strange to our taste that even though they were offered to the world cruise set free we canceled our ...

We choose this particular cruise, since we had traveled on the Viking Sky in February when it made its maiden voyage on the Mediterranean cruise. I had always wanted to visit the Caribbean and since we had such a great experience with Viking Cruise Lines we decided to take another cruise with them. I was surprised to see that Viking was sailing the Caribbean, since I thought Viking only ...

We really enjoyed the Cuban experience but were very disappointed by the cancellations/changes in itinerary. A cruise which included Cuba, Belize, Cozumel, Key west, Miami was reduced to Miami & Cuba. We were informed prior to embarking that the ports of Belize & Cozumel were scraped & we were not pleased. Some of the day excursions were unavailable. Also, we were not permitted to dock inn Havana ...

We took this cruise due to the list itinerary. It included Key West, Belize, Cozumel, w days docked in Havana, and 2 sea days. It gave a test of destinations that we had never seen. We had been on the sister ship last year and loved the cruise. 2 days before cancellation without penalty or a penalty of $100 a person, we were alerted to an extreme itinerary change. It eliminated Belize, Cozumel ...

The Viking Sky is a beautiful ship. The public spaces and room were all exceptional and immaculate. The dining venues were excellent and the food wonderful. The crew was amazing and their service was above and beyond. Five star all the way. One of the best things was having a laundry on each floor. Another, the specialty dining rooms. The smaller setting and excellent service were ...

I liked the fact that only 930 passengers aboard. Leaving Miami was stunning with the evening lights. The shore excursions were sub parr for Viking except for Key West, Panama and Jamaica. Too much time spent cruising from one port to another and with rough seas it seemed enless sitting around. Unfortunately on the third day I got food poisoning at Manfredie' s and spent two days in my cabin. ...

While there was much they did right, and while the ship is gorgeous and well thought out, I can sum the experience up in one word—Boring. It was flat, monotonous, one dimensional. It was like they made a beautiful drawing but forgot the colors. The lectures were awful, the entertainment was blah and the side trips that were included were horrible. The clientele was so old it made Regent’s look ...

Cuba. If you decide to travel to Cuba, do not take Viking cruise. I am a big fan of Viking but they did their passengers a disservice by landing at Cienfuegos. To get to Havana, we were onboard a bus on uneven, rocky highways for almost eight hours there and back. And, Havana is what you most want to see in Cuba not Cienfuegos. I loved Havana - the Hemingway House, the historic squares and ...

We chose this cruise because my sister in-law thought it would be fun to see Cuba. We made our reservation in September 2016, over a year before the cruise. In August of 2017 Viking informed all the passengers that they never received permission to dock in Havana. This means they sold us a cruise when they did not have permission to dock in Havana/Cuba. Viking informed us/passengers that they ...

Itinerary: Miami, at sea, Key West, Cienfuegos 3 days, at sea, Miami Viking should stick to the European cruise market and forget about the Caribbean. If you were thinking about taking a Viking Caribbean Cruise don’t do it or at least wait a few years until they work out the kinks. I did not appreciate experiencing their growing pains on my dollar. To start, the itinerary I paid for was ...
