JR,

I think it's an excellent choice for a first time (possibly only time) Viking cruiser.  We're in the same boat (pardon the pun) but we chose the Grand European river cruise instead.  It's scheduled for March 2023 and figured it would be our only trip, but now we're looking at an ocean cruise for 2022.  

I can't advise you on the cabin choice, but I think you'll love your cruises whatever you choose.

That looks pretty unanimous. Thanks to all.

Hi,

New to CC. We are looking to book the Magic for this coming summer (May/June). We are a family of 5 (Husband, Wife and 3 daughters (21, 18 and 13).

Trying to save money so we're driving to Galveston where we'll have the option of the Freedom or Magic. I've been doing trial bookings online and it looks like I we can get the following options at about the same price:

1. a single Ocean-View that sleeps 5 (Riviera 1376)

2. one ocean view and one interior (2420/2422)

I don't think two rooms would be an issue since the girls are older. I was just wondering what people thought of the difference.

Thanks
