I have never, in a long "career" sailing on cruise ships, ever seen any cruise line stay the same. Unfortunately they seem to all fall into the "bigger is better" mantra and move away from what originally made them so successful. In 8 years sailing Viking we have seen notable changes in food and service. Still good but not the Wow! of the first voyages. Our next two bookings are on Explora Journeys and Scenic Ocean. Both new lines with good reviews mostly. But then back to Viking for a couple of river cruises. As has been said many times before, the only constant in life is change. We just go with what works at the time.🍸
