This was my first ocean cruise and it will be my last most likely. Much prefer the river cruise experience. Far more intimate and educational.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Went smoothly and much to do with having done the pre-steps they requested beforehand.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Great food all the time. Chef's Table however was a mystery and not well described so our experience was a surprise especially when members of our group of 6 don't like Asian food and that's all that was on the menu that night. We did not understand this restaurant had only one choice and no options. Everywhere else in Viking restaurants, there are always options.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Loved the spa.
Entertainment
3 out of 5
Too much 'let us entertain you' feel for me and the performers where ok, not top-notch.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
this is where Viking excels ... staff is beyond wonderful. Attentive, engaging, helpful, caring - can't say enough.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Amazing attention to detail all over the ship. Constant care and cleaning.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
very comfortable ... loved the shower!
Ship tip
Get to know the ship early on - it's big and confusing.
Delightful town with plenty of shopping but we had no time provided to shop. The Oil Museum was a waste of time that I would have preferred to use as free time.
