Viking Emerald

Sail date: March 01, 2014

Ship: Viking Emerald

Cabin type: Balcony

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 10 years ago

Review summary

The ship was first class, but almost everyone on the crew was a trainee, making communications difficult, but they honestly wanted to please. The meals were top notch and the wait staff knew our names after the second day. The only down side was they use the Euro split comforters on the bed. We tend to sleep like nested spoons, leaving someone uncovered. The balcony was such a lovely opportunity to relax and watch the shore glide by.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
I only attended the \"fashion show\" and found it culturally embarrassing. It was more of a farce\, but you could tell the staff really tried to put on a good show.

Service and Staff

Almost all were trainees and we were their second cruise of the season.

Pros: It was all first class accomodations and the tour guide was supurb
