Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm on the Viking sea for a 10day Caribbean cruise and I want to bring you up to speed on Viking because a cruise on Viking ocean cruises really is different than a cruise on the other major Cruise Lines

Viking is adults only there are no children aboard no one under 18 years old so when you're relaxing out at the pool you won't be disturbed by screams and squeals

the other big difference is that there's no nickel and diming on Viking they're not constantly trying to get extra money out of you

this is my second Viking Cruise and I think it's a pretty safe bet to say that there will be more Viking Cruises in my future

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use a travel agent who understands Viking cabin types and perks
βœ“Consider a penthouse Veranda stateroom for more storage space
βœ“Bring your own liquor if you want, as Viking allows it
