Creator's Key Takeaways
We had a great time. It was an incredible cruise and we certainly don't regret doing it. We loved it and would love to do it again.
Vikings not playing that game. They've gone a different direction, which they've been doing ever since they've been in existence.
This was the best Wi-Fi I've had on any cruise ship, period.
They've maintained the same levels of service and they're not nickel and dimming you.
