Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Main Dining Room
Used the My Time, no reservations and it worked quite well. Always asked for a 6-8 top and within a few minutes the table was full. Got to meet some really nice people.
Schooner Bar
One of the quaintest bars on the ship. Had a Comedian Piano Player at night that was really good.
Windjammer Café
Food not so great, all overcooked and looked like mush, except for the carrots, they were always hard. Staff was attentive and friendly
Viking Crown Lounge
This ship still has the Viking Crown Lounge and it is really nice for after dinner drinks and dancing
Solarium Bar
Wish it was open on port days
Café Promenade
Open for breakfast on the last day which was nice because it was right inline with our departure
Onboard Activities
Guest Services and Explorations!
Horrible, went down there three times and there were only four people in line and two guest service reps. Stood there for over 30 minutes while both helped the same couples, all the while several other service reps came in and out of the back room, saw the lines and walked right back in. Poor service, never got to resolve my problem.
Solarium
Best place on the ship
Casino Royale
Walked in, hit three .25 cent slot machines for a total of $50 and walked back out. Short, sweet and profitable
