I am interested as well as our Viking Baltic is leaving from Stockholm. Any hotel recommended by the port?

I'm wondering if you had a menu to choose from? I, also have to consider my salt intake and DH does not eat anything raw (and maybe even rare) With some information, we can make this work for us.

We went to the chefs Table dining area and looked at the menus before booking as some were not to my husbands liking. Once we settled on a menu, then we booked it with no problem at all.

BTW He loved the food in the main dining room ...

I an also Celiac. I was on the Viking Star for the transatlantic..I had a menu every morning for that night's dinner. Had a wonderful waiter that was with me the entire cruise and he took care of my special needs where ever I was. (Hi eric) so I was very happy with Viking Ocean. I did expect it would be as great as the river cruise and after the first missteps, everything went smoothly thanks to Eric.

we were in room 3058 right next to the atrium and never heard any noise from the atrium, life boats, room next door or restaurant...

I am probably the first one back from the first Viking Ocean EBTA from San Juan to Barcelona.

The mix and mingle was held on the second day in the upstairs part of the explorer lounge. Invitation was a note card in a nice envelope on the door portion for notes.

Viking had wine, champagne and soda plus several different types of passed items on a tray. the ships officers were there and introduced themselves.

A very nice event.

our documents said:

Gratuity of €17* per passenger, per day will be pre-charged to the guests’ credit card and can be

adjusted at the end of the cruise or modified to cash gratuities. The Gratuities are shared among

the whole crew, including the Cruise Director and Concierge.

* The €17 per passenger, per day is applicable for all non-suite cabins. All guests in suites,

including the Owner’s Suite will be pre-charged €20 per passenger, per day.

we just got back from this cruise and there is no dramatic entry to Vienna like Budapest..even so it is a beautiful city. Please do you research ahead of time, as The Viking tour was an overview and then we had free time to explore on our own..

Hubby and I are never dressy..he wears a nice pair of pants and a collared shirt, I am in nice slacks and top with suit jacket..not very dressy.

Just a quick note, as a Celiac I have found Viking to be very accommodating. .never had an issue, viking always worked with me to find the solution that works for me..

Viking does, not sure about the others

Is the chocolate tour worth $18 per person?? Do we get chocolate to taste?

Following.. we arrive Sat and want to tour OSJ etc before we cruise on Sunday.

Tips? things to do? places to stay? I really want to kayak and see the fish light up.
