Totally agreed with you. How many ABBA/Beatles shows can returning Viking cruisers see?!? I like the idea about shows featuring local music.
I think this is a great thread. I also feel Viking needs to add some varieties to keep things interesting for returning cruisers.
For me, I felt diminishing returns with each Viking cruise. The first one was fabulous. The second one less so, but still was amazing. By the third one, everything on the ship felt just too familiar and the sense of wonderment was largely gone.
I still enjoy Viking and all it has to offer. But, something new, such as new shows, new menu, to spice things up would be a welcoming change.
