January 12 – 23, 2022
For twelve amazing days in January our home was the beautiful Viking Sea.
Our stateroom was spacious and comfortable. The private veranda was my favorite place to sit.
There were many different areas of the ship where we could sit and relax, take a swim, enjoy a cocktail, listen to music, or just stand at the railing and enjoy the view. There is also a Nordic Spa, Fitness area, hair and nail salon, a theater with live shows, two cinemas, and a promenade deck. The attention to detail was evident all around the ship.
We never went hungry or thirsty. The food and cocktails were all delicious and there was a very good selection of wines. There are three fine dining restaurants, several lounges, a buffet restaurant where in the morning we could order an omelet made just the way we like it and at lunch and dinner ask for a chef salad made to order. The gelato bar had a variety of flavors each day which went well with the fresh baked cookies. There are also a couple of restaurants for quick meals at breakfast and lunch.
We were spoiled the entire cruise. If we needed anything in our stateroom all we had to do was ask our room steward and he took care of it. The cruise ship staff were all friendly and attentive.
We are counting the days until our next cruise adventure.

It looks wonderful. I’ve never sailed with Viking but I would try it! We always have sailed with Royal Caribbean and like them a lot. I too love having a balcony it’s lovely isn’t it and worth the splurge.

This was our first ever cruise so I don’t have anything to compare it to but we loved everything about it.

He-Man loves cruising. I like the shows, and having everything done for me, but wish the stops were longer not just a taste of the places you stop at, but I have discovered a few places I’d like to go and spend more time in because of cruising. đŸ˜€

Amy, this was our first ever cruise. We chose Viking for several reasons, mainly because my brother highly recommended them. We didn’t want to go on one of the mega ships and the max capacity of 930 was perfect.

The cruise line should pay you to write and provide photos for their brochures. I’m glad you both had such a wonderful trip.

Judy, it’s hard to believe it’s been almost 3 months since we got home. I still miss the twice a day housekeeping and someone else doing all the cooking!
