Vancouver Cruise Reviews

Let’s start with the ambiance ….utterly amazing walking onto the boat you get the feel of class and royalty with 1st class treatment the boarding process you can’t avoid but from the second you walk onto the boat you are nothing short of amazed at every level of the ship from the Cafe al Bacio to the Gelateria to Specialty Dining. Being mid ship is pure beauty while on board and the atmosphere ...

Ship was extremely crowded, the size of the ship is not large enough for the number of cabins. Use the stairs the get around, elevators were always crowded and slow. Getting on and off the ship was very crowded, so be ready to wait in line Buffet food was at best sub standard, think of it as a notch below golden corral and was always crowded. At times we walked around searching for an open table ...

Overall, we recommend both the Emerald Princess and also this itinerary. We had a fabulous time and really enjoyed the trip! The Panama Canal is a "must see" for any traveler and Princess does it right! We had Traditional early dining at 5:15 in the Botticelli - it was great - very attentive staff. We also ate at SHARE (excellent) and Planks (Good). Pools were good but crowded, Movies under the ...

Chose it by going online and reading reviews. I was attracted by the fact that there were no children, no gimmiks, no casinos. The food, while pleasant, wasn't spectacular, as I'd been told happens on a cruise. However, I did enjoy the special times, such as the seafood served outdoors. The Captain's table restaurant was a bit of a disappointment. First, we were seated with strangers ...

My husband has always wanted to go to Alaska and when Viking made it available we decided to book. We knew Viking had a smaller size ship and I was a little hesitant because I get sea sick but he assured me that since it was an inside passage the odds of that happening was low to none. And I did find out that was correct. This was our first ocean cruise, we have been on 3 river cruises. We love ...

We had been wanting to go to Alaska but we’re not sure Ocean cruising was for us. After our wonderful experience with a Viking River Cruise, we decided to try Viking Ocean. We were delighted with every aspect of the Orion, including and especially the service. Our cabin steward was efficient, friendly, professional and clearly followed through ASAP with every request. The food was very good to ...

Alaska was wonderful, but it was the Viking Orion that gave us a fabulous vacation. This is only my second cruise. I never wanted to cruise after my only other cruise experience on a Royal Caribbean ship 20 years ago. My husband and I enjoyed Viking Orion so much that we booked 4 more Viking cruises after this one. We enjoyed the dining, the public space, the entertainment, the lectures, and ...

My wife and I have been on numerous Viking cruises. We have been on three river cruises and this was our third ocean cruise. We have never been disappointed. The ships are beautiful and a size that is not overwhelming. The passengers have plenty of room to move about and not feel crowded in any space. The staff is courteous, friendly, and very efficient. Having been on other Viking ocean ...

My husband and I really wanted to do something special for our 40th. We were so glad that we booked the pre trip to Vancouver. The hotel Hyatt Regency was in the perfect location in the center of the downtown area. We upgraded and popped for a room on one of the high floors where we had a gorgeous view of the city even into the harbor. When the Hyatt learned we were celebrating our anniversary ...

We chose this cruise because we had such a good experience on a Budapest to Amsterdam Viking river cruise. The ship was both comfortable and elegant. The lounges, restaurants, and other public areas were spacious and comfortable. The buffet served excellent food. We loved the custom omelets and the daily smoothie. We never had trouble finding a comfortable table. The poolside specialty ...
