As past travelers with Viking we expected and received the best treatment.
This trip we did the pre-extension in Paris which allowed us to see so many more local sites before our cruise began. Thus, more time to experience the great "City of Lights". From the Eiffel tower, Notre Dame, St. Chapelle, Montamare Hill's Sacre-Coeur Basilica and too many more to mentioned. When we travel we try to take in as many sites as time will allow.
Once onboard the staff, as experienced in the past, were always courteous and personable.
Although in the past we have had balcony rooms, we found no difference in the room except for the view, which we did miss. So we plan to try to book earlier next time
