Review summary
Our second Viking cruise. First one was a river.
Have used Silver Seas, Crystal and Oceania.
Thought being on a brand new ship would be the best. Was pretty dissapointed in several things.
Most glaring was food was big dissapointment.
Only 2 places on ship to eat . Main dining room was unremarkable and buffet was same basic food everyday except the meat course.
Was almost impossible to get into the 2 other restaurants. Small and always booked by frequent Viking cruisers and people in the suites .
Wine choice was a white and a red, period.
Excursions never included lunch or time to explore and shop.
At several big city stops we had to be back at ship by 3:00 , not enough time to see a great city like Corfu and Dubrovnik.
But for some reason stayed till 6:00 at tiny towns that had little to see.
Climate control in our very small veranda room never did response to what we needed. We either sweated or froze.
There was literally no drawers or shelves to put personal items.
Compared to other luxury ships this was so surprising.
Lastly the entertainment . Basically there was not any. No food and music theme nights at pool or guest musicians.(always the same 3)
On plus side ,staff was great. Nice size shower and extremely quiet room.
But Will be going back to other small cruise lines for our next vacation.
Wish we could be more positive but knowing ahead of time is always a plus.
