Oh my YES come join the Viking family.
The thing I love about Viking guests is they don't lead with their "credentials". They don't try to one up on how many cruises they have been on and where they have gone.
We have had wonderful meals with folks only to find out halfway through that they are a 4 star Admiral or a garbage man (there were two on one cruise and they did not know each other!).
There are self made people with their own companies and many, many working folks like teachers, nurses, retail, etc.
The guests ages cover the whole spectrum. We took our early 30's sons on a two week cruise to Norway and they had a blast.
No one comes across as snobbish or pretentious.
I myself come from southeast Michigan...I am a girl from steel and cars from a very blue collar family.
I moved to California in 1984 after I met my husband there.
If you love meeting people from all walks of life, all ages and all experiences without the likelihood of being looked down on, then Viking just might be a good fit for you.
Maybe someday we will meet and we can have a cup of coffee and get to know each other.
