Viking Ocean Southern Caribbean Cruise Reviews

I had been on Viking River cruises and loved them, but this was my first trial of their ocean ship. Previously, I had travelled on much larger ships on the ocean. I was very surprised about how much rocking and noise there was from the movement of this ship. I was very seasick, even with meds. To be honest, my travel companions and most people I met did not experience any symptoms and they loved ...

We decided to do this cruise because of it's very different itinerary. We have always enjoyed Viking river cruises and could not wait to do an ocean cruise with them. My advice: DON'T. The staff were all very good and quite helpful, BUT The food was just so-so, and eating in the main dining room was way too long, 2 1/2 to 3 hours each night. The food in the buffet was underwhelming, and ...

We enjoyed a smaller ship with less passengers and better yet no kids running around. We could always find a quiet corner to read or to relax. There was plenty of food. This was my first cruise experience but my partner had been on more. I was impressed by the high level of service and the comfort in all areas of the ship. However, there are several issues that we came across. The electrical ...

I've done 2 Viking river cruises and was pleased. Ocean cruise was a disappointment. Billing mistakes on their part through days after disembarkment. I take 3 to 4 cruises a years and have never had so many accounting problems that they continually tried to blame me for before finally fixing their mistakes.. Entertainment was virtually nonexistent or what little there was happened during ...

We looked forward to our first Viking ocean cruise after a lovely Viking River Cruise earlier this year. We’ve traveled extensively on other ocean cruise lines and were extremely disappointed in this 48 day cruise. Starting with Embarkation, the tone of the cruise was set. Viking booked the cheapest airfare with a 3-1/2 hour layover at DFW airport which is a haven for storm-related delays. We were ...

We chose the cruse base on a recommendation from a friend. The Ship was nice but I felt I was at a retirement home. Made more connections with the crew them shipmates. Everyone seemed to be on Valium. Land excursions were pretty much getting off the ship and on to a bus. We did not get any real insight into the islands except the first walking tour. If you go to another country you want ...

We wanted to sail the Amazon River and enjoy the view from our balcony (see cabin review). The balcony was so disappointing. Food: The food is excellent. Our favorites were The Restaurant and Manfredi's. Chef's Table is fine if you like the fixed menu for that night. The included wine with lunch and dinner was another disappointment. There's one choice each day, red or white. You don't ...

When we saw the ad on PBS touting the elegant experience we should expect aboard a Viking cruise, we believed the hype and signed up for their cruise to the Caribbean and Amazon. The itinerary certainly sounded interesting and we were excited. Having now had it, I can say that this Viking experience was barely average, especially when compared with other cruise lines in the same price point. ...

We are in our late 60s. Australians. We had long heard of the wonders of the Amazon and the beauty of the Caribbean and this cruise took in both those destinations. We were so disappointed. The ship itself is good. Very well appointed, in excellent condition, lovely cabins and nicely decorated. 900 people is not huge and our cruise was child free. The passengers were 95% middle America. We have ...
