Food and Dining

A lot of places to eat. We enjoyed Mamsen's for their signature Norwegian Waffles. The World Cafe's buffet always had a great variety. In the evening, you could always get crab legs, shrimp and fish. The Dining Room's service was superb. We had the Parmensan Chicken for our anniversary dinner and it was superb. Several times for lunch, I had the seared salmon from the Pool Grill along with fresh made onion rings.

The spa was heavenly. The spa pool was our favorite. This was the first time my wife and I used this facility.
Entertainment

We went to the nightly show 10 out of 14 nights and enjoyed the variety. The guest act was the MacDonald Brothers (from Scotland) for a couple of nights.
Service and Staff

What can I say? This is one reason that Viking excels at. Their employees!
Very foggy. The Port Master wouldn't clear us to anchor until fog lifted around noon. Tender port and all excursions were canceled. It was a 30 minute tender ride then a 10 minute bus trip into a rainy town. We stayed on the ship.
Very rainy first 2 days there. Did some independent exploring but didn't take any tours. On 3rd day we disembarked and stayed for 2 days in a hotel. Weather improve somewhat and we did enjoy our extra time in Bergen. One of my favorite Cities. Found good restaurants, went up the funicular and took a Fjord cruise. Also booked the Fjord cruise on Shipmate. Quite enjoyable and mostly a dry and clear day.
We did an optional tour through shipmate and they gave us some incorrect information on what time to meet our tour. We almost missed the tour but did do the Giant Causway. Overall a very good trip. The driver was very good but had forgot to charge his microphone. Being in the rear of the noisy van, we could not hear any of what he was saying.
One of our favorite places. Good included tour to get an overview! We did the exceptional optional tour of the Beatles Experience. Our guide was great.
The included walking tour was really good. A lot of cobblestone and some stairs. A good overview.
We took an optional tour to the Tower of London. Saw the Crown Jewels.
We also went on the ship, Cutty Sark. Very interesting.
