Sometimes I like sitting with other people at lunch or dinner on a river cruise and sometimes I don’t want to , but on Viking my husband and I didn’t have that choice. We were always with the other people unless it was breakfast, when not everybody ate at the same time and there was room to spread out. I don’t think there were any two-tops. Or even four- tops. So my question is -which lines give you that choice?

I don’t mean to hijack this but I tried to create a new post and when I copied and pasted , no text showed up. Any advice? Thanks!

I hadn’t even realized that about them. I too like a variety of perspectives. But Canadians are Americans- North Americans.

We really liked GCT but the twin beds- not so much.

We’ve been on GCT. Can anyone tell me how it compares to Vantage and Gate 1?

MacMadame--Would you not even compare Carnival to Walmart or Target?

CDNPolar-Viking was not my favorite river cruise lines so I am hesitant to take one of their ocean cruises.

This topic has gotten derailed. I think you should start a new post!

“seem to recall a higher proportion of infirm passengers on larger ships.” Well that is certainly true when talking about river cruises. Some don’t even have elevators ( though there aren’t many flights).

I don’t love crowds but after 10 nts on a 700 passenger ship I felt a bit confined and like there were a lack of ( new) dining options and things to do. And I am one who can usually easily entertain myself with a book .

Unfortunately, I’d get so sick on those smaller ships!

Yes actually I was, though I thought the Princess quality had gone down when I recently went, after having not gone for 10 years with them.

I agree with all of the above except I found the food as good on Princess, Celebrity and RCCL as Oceania and Azamara.

It’s economy of scale too.
