Creator's Key Takeaways
You can eat what you want, where you want, and with whomever you want. In addition, there's no formal or themed nights.
I loved going to eat breakfast at Mson's. I love those Norwegian waffles, that brown goat cheese with the waffles and pickled herring on the side.
Viking dining setup is one of the most relaxed at sea. Most of the venues don't require reservations. Everything is included and there's no pressure to dress up or be somewhere at a certain time.
