We took a WC and would eagerly take another if $$ were not an object. It had no segments other than the first few week to LA from Ft. Lauderdale. If booking again I would certainly try and be on one that did not have segments because we really enjoyed the camaraderie and feeling of community that happened after 121 (140) days. However, if there was a segement of a WC that we really wanted to do I would not hesitate to book it. IMO the WC had superior entertainment, special dinners, better wines and an incredibly engaging crew that we have not experienced on many subsequent Viking Ocean Cruises.
