Food and Dining

When you book just a delux room, I expected I was able to still book at the specialty restaurants as they advertise. But this is not the case, they limit you on how many night you can book. disappointing. As with the food, one night at Manfredi's I had to send the veal dish back, because it was tasteless..meat was swimming in water. At the main restaurant, we were forgotten one night and left after waiting 30 minutes to see a waiter. The buffet was the best, but expect good and bad...good selection was nice, but many times the food was cold.

as expected, but as they say in Viking marketing, they use the best toiletries ..they dont. Got super small bottles of Chinese shampoo and soap. Disappointing. Towels were on Hotel6 quality.
Ship tip
Although they sell themselfs as the best cruise line out there, they certainly are not. Compare they prices to others.
Thank you for sharing. Will be on the Viking Sea in December 2024. Looking forward to it. Hope you find the cruise line that fulfills your wants and needs.
Sorry it wasn’t what you expected, but I would always say read the terms and conditions for the tier/cabin you book every single time. They can and do change, even between cruises on the same ship and company a year apart. That way it avoids any disappointment or frustration.
Thank you for your review and am sorry for your disappointed cruise. I have been on 3 Viking ocean (2 after the pandemic) and have always had a great experience. Hope you find a cruise line that meets your needs. Safe travels.
