Viking Ocean Eastern Caribbean Cruise Reviews

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 ...

We had never taken a Viking Ocean or River Cruise before. We were doing a last minute search for a trip to the Eastern Caribbean when we discovered this offering. Upon contact with your representative and after a thorough discussion of the itinerary, the Viking Sea ship, the cruise amenities and the cost of the cruise, we decided to commit to our first cruise with Viking. We were extremely ...

Viking Ocean Cruise 2016 Review We have been on the Baltic Viking cruise, we were familiar with the Viking philosophy. We liked the itinerary so we decided to try it. We were not disappointed. We have booked another Ocean Cruise next year. The ship is very well laid out, we never walked into a lounge or other room and felt crowded. The included excursions were not a good as we had experience ...

We chose another Viking cruise based on excellent experience in the past. Viking is not flashy, there are no kids, no casino, etc.Only 900 passengers. It's a more sophisticated and older crowd. No one gets loud or drunk on Viking. This was the West Indies Explorer itinerary. Dining is excellent, including wine or beer or soda with lunch and dinner. Waiters seemed a little more harried than ...

We had been on Viking River cruises before, which were fabulous, so we signed up for this Caribbean Island hop on one of Viking's ocean ships, with just under 1000 passengers. The ship is lovely, and our cabin was excellent. Food was good as well. After the charming old San Juan, there the first couple of islands on our itinerary didn't have much to see. Things improved though as we moved ...

We chose this cruise after a lot of cruising experience because Viking has taken the difficulties out of the experience making it hassle free and very enjoyable. The dining experience was so elegant and the food interesting and delicious. The bathroom we had was the nicest ever with a shower head with power and drawers to put things in. We loved the size of the ship and the smaller number of ...

Overall, my family and I were extremely impressed by this Viking Cruise. First, the highlights: The ship: Viking Star is an absolutely beautiful ship. It's still new and kept immaculately clean. The decor is Danish modern - I loved the furniture, especially in the public spaces. While it's a definite bonus that each room has it's own balcony, we also found ample places to sit in the public ...

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 ...

Tried something different. Heard good things about Viking Cruises The service at. The steward was efficient, knew us by name on the first day. The dining choices were enjoyable and the special restaurants were like eating in 5 star restaurants. The included excursions were average but this could also be because the Caribbean islands are all similar with not much to see culturally. The ...

My husband and I, average age 62, took the West Indies cruise on the Star for the New Year. We are experienced cruisers with voyages on Princes, RCI, Celebrity, Azamara, Oceania, and Seabourn in Europe and the Caribbean. In general, the cruise was very enjoyable, food very good, friendly staff, and beautiful ship. Our impression is that this cruise was somewhere between a Celebrity and ...
