Our group loved this excursion. Beautiful scenery and the boat captains were fun. However, the boats are small and the water was choppy. Also you board the boats via a very narrow floating dock. Some people in our tour group found it difficult to balance.

Yoga class was offered several days on the Viking Sea. Room for 6 participants and I really liked the instructor

We have always tipped bartenders and bar servers at the end of the cruise. Have had outstanding service from all and we like to acknowledge those who we have had the most interaction with.

I found the lobster tail to be awful. It came to the table grey in color, overcooked and way too salty. Crown grill meals were by far the best!

We are starting our Alaska cruise with a land tour. We fly into Anchorage and have arranged our own flights. I am trying to determine our options to get from the airport to the hotel in Anchorage that Princess has booked. Can we request a transfer through Princess even though we are arranging our own air? Any cost comparisons to that vs taxi or Uber?

We just completed a cruise in May and we had a group of 4 couples traveling together. We were not able to reserve specialty dining ahead of time for the group even though we were all in same PV level. We did make reservations for 2 parties of 4. Once onboard we talked to the restaurant reservations desk and found Viking is limiting restaurant seating to a maximum of 6 due to Covid. They did make a note to seat our groups next to each other both in the main restaurant and for our specialty dining reservations. They did have tables for 8 in the buffet

Testing everyday on ocean as of Med cruise that ended last week. Also very carefully looking at pre cruise test results and timing and if not done in right timeframe, embarkation was delayed as people were sent back outside for rapid test to be done

We recently completed Empires of the Med and made the same tongue in cheek comment about ADA. Lots of walking and steps and standing for long periods of time. There were clearly folks on excursions with mobility issues who were unable to keep up. Some in our group were complaining of aches and pains after a few tours. Do not understand why Viking does not offer slower pace tours as they do on River. That being said, please be realistic about your capabilities as it is not good for you or your fellow travelers to attempt activities beyond your limits.
