JLP,

I was told about this site by someone who was on Facebook and was interested in meeting people that would be on this cruise.

After reading the bashing we are getting for reviewing our recent Star cruise, I will say that I never heard of this site until approximately 2 months prior to our departure. I was told about it on another site and decided to check it out.

Yes, we have been on other Viking river cruises but never reviewed our experiences before. We also were on a Carnival Cruise of the millennium, and a Dolphin cruise line man-years ago.

If Cruise Critics is so worried about the influx of new members submitting reviews, perhaps they should ignore them and just post what they want.

I was on the Bergen to Stockholm leg of the cruise and my tv worked fine the whole time. The WiFi was also fine, no slower than what I have at home.

I have not noticed any loud or repetitive music on the ship. People are seen reading in all of the venues, so I cannot believe it is a problem.

I certainly would not cancel my plans because of this.

Thanks for your. Fantastic positive review. It is truly refreshing after reading so many negative reviews. I also will review after our Bergen to Stockholm trip is completed. So far, all is Good

We did the Chefs table tonight. The food was great, and we did not go away hungry! The wine, while I am not a wine drinker, I Prefer beer, the wine added to the meal. The service and the explanations for each course were greatly appreciated. We are looking forward to returning once the new menu is posted, on May 25.

What is the going rate for tipping a tour guide on the optional excursions?

Thanks.

We definitely want to see the Northern lights!

We get are supposed to land in Iceland around 6:30am.

I will have to check. I know we leave Mspl around 7:30 pm, but do not remember what time we get to Iceland.

Our flight arrangements were made by Viking Ocean cruises and they set us up to be on Icelandair. We have never flown on them before so it will be an experience, but we are looking forward to it.

Hi,

We are on the Iceland pre tour. we leave from Mpls. to Iceland.
