Ship tip

Viking lies to its passengers about the likelihood that you will have to change ships mid-cruise. We were scheduled to sail on Lofn from Amsterdam to Bucharest but they told us the day before boarding that it would be a different boat, the Lif, because of “technical issues” with Lofn. But then midway through our trip (at Bamberg) they announce we have to change ships—to the Lofn—because low water levels prevent passage past Bamberg. This is apparently a frequent practice but they never warn prospective or current passengers about this.
