Creator's Key Takeaways

we felt it was prettyy cold overall and they always seemed annoyed at us

the biggest problem was the smell we came in there the first day and it was a lovely smell of sewage

Viking has a really good reputation for their dining I would generally agree I thought the standard of the food the ingredients was pretty high

the tours were great so we gave that five

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Save money by booking a French balcony cabin instead of a full balcony
βœ“Book Christmas market cruises early as they fill up quickly
βœ“Be prepared to sit with other passengers at meals as tables are shared

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

small cabin size β€” Cabins are small but manageable; French balcony is recommended over full balcony
limited dining choices β€” Food quality is good but choices are more limited than other cruise lines
shared seating at meals β€” Be prepared to sit with other passengers; it's a social experience
