Best Value and Service on Viking Idi River Cruises
This was our second Viking cruise. We chose them again because they exceeded our expectations on our first cruise.
The hotel in Paris was totally unprepared for the amount of guests that came. Room wasnt made up and I had to go get towels myself. The breakfast buffet was a disaster. They only had 3 people working the restaurant and it was painfully obvious that they were not ready for us. They tried their best. I talked to the night manager and he expressed the difficulty that they were having in hiring competent staff (seems to be a common problem). The Hyatt in the Czech Republic was execellent. Truely, the difference was night and day. I would be very reluctant to recommend the Paris Hotel to anyone. Cabin on ship was excellent.
We enjoyed our experience with Viking river cruise. We just wish our room wasn't so noisy as it seems we were located near the engine.
The trip wa excellent and the tours offered were great. The ship was clean and the staff courteous.
Their were a few bumps along the way,( none of them your fault) thoroughly enjoyed our stay down the Rhine.
Be sure you have comfortable walking shoes! We loved the walking tours. The food was excellent and just the right size portions.
We had to change ships due to low water level, Viking handled the switch as well as could be expected
If traveling with Viking Cruise line, always book your airline travel through them. If you have any problems, Viking will make sure it is fixed and the issue kept at a minimum.
A few trips listed as easy within the Vikibg tour were not easy walking
