    Our first cruise was a Viking River cruise on the Elbe River to which we added a post cruise land tour to Warsaw and Krakow and the trip was fantastic. We appreciated being able to bring locally sourced wines and liquor as well as foods onto the ship and being able to leisurely stroll the towns along the way. It impossible to describe the quality of the food, the thoughtfulness of the crew, or the attention to detail we experienced - all fantastic. Our second cruise was a Viking Ocean cruise circumnavigating Iceland which the typical Icelandic weather impacted somewhat specifically affecting the land excursions. But the ship, crew, and all onboard experiences were top notch and very enjoyable. Once again, Viking does not prevent guests from bringing alcohol and food onto the ship, so we purchased some in duty-free and carried in onboard. But the comment about cocktails on the ship is true. We purchased two glasses of very good wine one afternoon before dinner and the cost was lower than we expected. We always had plenty of good wine with dinner and our waiter, we always tried to sit in Alan’s station, offered a glass to take back to our stateroom each evening. Dining on the ocean cruise was amazing with server Al reservation required restaurants to choose from and an amazing buffet restaurant that never disappointed. We thoroughly enjoyed the no casino, no kids aspect and will likely never choose another cruise line - why fix what isn’t broken?

    Definitely buy good travel insurance that covers medical evacuation. While on an Alaskan cruise, my wife became quite ill and had to be admitted to the hospital in Ketchikan. Two days later, she had to be flown by an air-ambulance jet to a hospital in Seattle. The entire time, the insurance company paid for my hotel, ambulance transfers, air-ambulance cost ($70,000), shipping unneeded luggage back home, meals, etc. They reimbursed us for the unused portion of our cruise as well. They didn’t make us pay first and submit receipts-they paid directly and very quickly. Axa insurance was terrific. We will return to Alaska soon, and we’ll again sail on Holland America.

    We had the worst experience with Viking in 2013, when we arrived in Budapest with what was called the 400 year flood. We had even called ahead to confirm that the cruise would happen, and they lied. We were bused from Budapest to Vienna, and that’s when we went home after 4 days, 2 of which were travel days. Luckily, we had insurance, because the compensation Viking offered was ludicrous. And I never had the courtesy of a response to a letter I wrote to them. Very disappointing.

    We were on the Grand European. The port talks got shorter every day we were on the cruise. They ran out of cookies at the coffee bar on many days. Regarding the Aquavit Terrace, not all of the outside tables were set for meals. However if tables w/o tablecloths were available, it we sat at one, the friendly staff would bring out a setup and serve us. Also lunch on the Aquavit featured food which was grilled fresh outside. We met guests who were staying in the fanciest cabins. They complained that they had to stay indoors due to many bugs. It was very nice to visit other guests. WiFi was good. I used Google voice to call me mom every few days… only a slight delay in the transmission. Staff was very nice & helpful.

    Wow. That looks like a hellish nightmare of epic proportions. Like being held captive on a floating Hampton Inn and being charged for it 😮

    Institutional food served in a cafeteria? Grocery store wines? No thank you.

    I'm a total newbie when it comes to cruises. Hopefully there's some shaded areas to sit at to people watch without getting a sunburn. I'm more of a watcher than a doer, so I hope I can get used to mixing and partying with others. I'm a bit nervous but am looking forward to the majesty of these huge ships. Wish me luck!

    I have done several ocean cruises. We decided to try a river cruise. I will stick to ocean cruises from now on.

    It’s definitely a cruise ship that caters more to the 65+ age traveler Nothing wrong with that, but just so people know that this is not going to be a nonstop party!

    Did one of the river cruises about five years ago, was unable to go up the river due to low water, which had been a problem for several months missed all but one of my excursions and the one I did go on. I had to be taken in a van and driven. Worst customer service they offered me a $250 voucher on another cruise after I paid over $5000. Would not recommend them to anyone !

    There is something mechanical about your reading this script. I can’t keep listening. Sorry.
