Don't let the 6 days at sea crossing the Atlantic deter you. Time basically stood still. The included wines at lunch and dinner were as good, or better, than anything you would buy for yourself. Befriend a few bar and wait staff, and you'll have more than you can handle (and be sure to tip them extra at the end)
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Smooth sailing, even before sailing.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
1 out of 5
Daily menu was wide and varied, with nary a repeat. There was always something new to try, to expand your palate. Buffet, meh. We avoid them, anyway, but had no choice the last night, as the boat from venice got too back late for main dining. Some people can be disgustingly unsanitary.
Onboard Activities

Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Great ship, and not one of those floating city mega things.. 900+passengers, and seemed a lot less, except on Lobster night.
Cabin / Stateroom
1 out of 5
Cabon was as you expect. Cabin stewards were exceptional.
An oasis in the Atlantic, after 6 days of sailing. It's an awesome island and we must go back for an extended stay. The scenery was spectacular, despite lousy weather
Again, lousy weather, but will be going back again, anyway, in the near future. https://www.boqueria.barcelona is a must visit on la rambla, wandering around the Gothic Quarter is a step back in time, and next trip, hoping for Park Güell NOT in a downpour
Great historical city. Took the viking shuttle into town, and had booked a private tour through the vatican museums. You can never do that too many times, as there is so much to see in there (really crowded, too. Book a tour or tickets in advance, or you will wait in a looooong line.
Another Old town, bit i guess a big hit for "game of thrones" fans, and the Gerald Durrell trilogy on netflix.. Somewhat touristy, given it's the bulk of the island's economy, but you can find decent stuff if you look
Nice countryside, but heavy traffic. The old town was nice, as they all are, but I had forgotten this was a war torn area a mere 30+ year's ago, and the damage from shelling and arms fire is evident everywhere.. And More Game of thrones locales for fans
Disembarking was quite orderly.. Viking added a bus transfer to the Santa Lucia train station during then cruise, so we took advantage of that and cancelled the private, rearranged transfer. We Saved a few hundred dollars over a private transfer
