We hadn't been to those particular Caribbean islands on previous trips so wanted a brief time to explore. One day in each port gave us an idea which island(s) we might wish to return to for a longer stay. The sunny skies (most days) and warm seas made the trip extra enjoyable.
The cruise staff gave excellent service. Our cabin was kept spotless. The singing entertainment group chose music ...
Viking did an excellent job of make the ship seem more intimate than it really is. There are several smaller areas you could go to relax and seem that that this was your private cruise. Especially enjoyed the Explorer Lounge area, which was never crowded. The good was excellent--loved seeing the open kitchen in the World Buffet. Also liked that you did not have to pay additional to dine at ...
Pros
The ship was beautiful and clean. I loved the age group and the limit on children (age). I went on the cruise for peace and relaxation and that's what I got. The thermal area was great. The music was beautiful. Embarkation and Debarkation as well as the transportation to and from the airport was seamless and stress free. The customer service was amazing - from the room stewards to the ...
We went through the shore excursions before the cruise. I would recommend two things, one, book your excursions early, they fill up fast. Two, when you get aboard check for additional excursions that were not offered on-line.
We ate most of our meals in the main dining room which has an excellent selection for dishes and good wine. Second most dining was in the 7th floor buffet which also ...
Very interested in trying out the cruise ship. The riverboats pleased us greatly. Viking made the leap to cruise ships with great aplomb.
A peaceful, almost zen like feel to the ship. Graceful lines, a lightness and airyness to the ship - nothing heavy or ornate or garish. Simply a beautiful ship and a very serene, comfortable ambiance throughout.
The staff, at all levels, were ...
We did a river cruise in 2010 and loved it. We have always planned to take another Viking cruise, however, life came in the way of children's college graduations, trips to India to visit family, and lastly a child's wedding.
We love the level of service offered by Viking and its employees. Both of us are veterans of the hospitality industry, we are hotel school graduates, we have worked for ...
Took cruise as a way to get introduction to Viking Ocean. Ship of beautiful design. Public areas all very nice. Explorers lounge fantastic. Cabins were well laid out and bathrooms were excellent. Loved the heated floors. Cabins were very quiet, even those by elevators, no noise, we asked several passengers with cabins by elevators. Food was good to excellent. Beef outstanding. Service ...
Exceptional service, food, entertainment and ambiance during this Caribbean Cruise. Also, the smaller size gave the trip an uncrowded appeal that allowed the voyage to be unhurried and relaxing. There are plenty of spaces on the ship for private areas of enjoyment or you can find plenty of opportunities to visit with others to secure new friendships. The ship is beautiful and state of the art ...
We had done a Viking River Cruise in Central Europe and enjoyed the Viking approach to cruising - smaller vessels and all inclusive packages (air flights, beer/wine with meals, excursion in each port, etc) . The ocean ships were just being built and they are the size of ocean cruise liners we prefer. This cruise was excellent, and the crew and ship was a joy to sail on. Although with eight ...
We chose Viking's West Indian tour since we wanted someplace warm and we were looking for a slightly different type of cruise experience. We took advantage of a special advertised deal for this eleven-day voyage. Everything about the cruise went smoothly from our initial arrival to our departure. We loved the modern ship and the clean, new, well laid-out cabin.
The food in all of the venues ...
