Review summary

All was excellent except for dinner meals which were not a 5-star. Highlights of cruise should include excellent dinners. In no way was this so. Very disappointing…May or may not cruise w/Viking again.

Appreciate your feedback. Riverboat and ocean cruising are very different. Glad you tried something new.
