Silver Spirits Drink Package turned out to be a bad deal. They promise top shelf liquor but did not even have Patron Silver. Beverage Manager told me Viking will no longer carry it.

Review summary

Viking is declining in quality of food & drinks. Pre and post cruise extensions going the same way but the costs are still going up.

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

See above for Silver Spirits package. Manfredi’s & the Chef’s Table have both gone downhill from previous Viking cruise. Restaurant was okay but the selections were very limited. Clearly have attempted to lower their food costs by providing less food & lower cost meats.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Pool was fine & hot tub was great. Limited daytime activity.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

This cruise was the first one for the Viking Band and the on board singers. Both were wonderful. They could improve the band by getting a new singer for the group.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Waiters, bartenders & housekeeping were terrific. They are definitely well trained, care about the customer and are amazing at remembering your name and drink preferences.
