Review summary

we had to wait 3 years to finally go on our cruise because of covid and it was even better than we imagined. The staff from housekeeping to managers were wonderful. The servers were wonderful, and the Chef did an amazing job with the food. We were only a few days in and already thinking of booking our next Viking Cruise.
