Even the balcony in 4000, which is right forward had glass topped with a teak taff rail. So I expect all balconies have glass.

Thanks

All balconies are the same. If you follow the link I provided above there are photos of the exterior of the ship as well as a section on cabins that have issues.

Thank you

I guess my actual question was misunderstood  Is there a full view from each balcony or are some near the front a partial view because it is partially blocked by the steel plating ( or whatever material they use) and you only get the full view when you stand up.  

Do all the balconies on Viking ocean ships - specifically the Viking Sea - have the full plexiglass viewing area or do some have a partial steel plate ( or whatever they use ) that only offers a full view when you stand up?  Specifically I am in 3003 which is very front. It was a guarantee and I think probably one of the last cabins they booked on my full cruise😏

This was a month ago on the Viking Neptune.

Others have posted that their Waiters/Restaurant Managers recently have said they are trying out 4 slightly different Manfredi's menu.   But we've only seen this one new one in 3 cruises in 2023.  

Thanks

Where can I find a copy of the most recent Manfredis menu?  Leave on the Viking Sea to West Indies in two weeks. Thanks

Would it be suitable for a relative beginner?  Hopefully see a fair amount of 🐠 

Thanks!

Is there any particular place someone can recommend?  Thanks in advance

Does anyone know?  Thanks in advance 

I have cruised solo before on Holland America but this Feb will be my first experience with Viking. If you have sailed solo with them I would  be interested in your impressions. Thanks

Is everyone guaranteed one Manfredis reservation. I am on the bottom rung cabin wise in V2. Was wondering if they let other folks double book before everyone gets a chance. Thanks ps. My cabin level cannot book until we are on board. My first time sailing Viking and I am not thrilled with the way they handle reservations🤔

Thanks in advance. 

If you cancel an excursion while on board and replace it with another one that opens up for the same port do you receive a refund or credit for the cancelled excursion?  Thanks in advance 

Is there a site which reviews cruise ship excursions?  This will be my first time on Viking and in the Caribbean. I will be on the Viking Sea West Indies explorer. Thanks in advance.  

Are you  guaranteed a spot if there is only one included tour and it is showing up as sold out when you try to book?  Thanks in sdvance

Ps. The Cason  decor was rather blah and the cabin lacked a chair. Makes it rather difficult to do room service  I found myself either eating off my bed or dining standing up. For reference I had a picture window ocean view cabin

My recent first experience with NCL was a recent Baltic cruise on the Dawn. I will give some high points and low points from my own perspective  First off the walls were paper thin. I had loud takers on both sides of me which lead to sleepless hours. Also the garden cafe was always mobbed. Not NCLs fault but I ate my first meal of my cruise with my plate propped on a ledge next to a trash can. Needless to say I avoided the cafe in the future. The staff was lovely.  I would give the food a B overall. Plenty of selection. The shore excursions were varied and well done. From my own perspective as a solo traveler the ship, although not one of the largest, just seemed too crowded for me. I think I will look to some smaller ships if I decide to cruise again

I just found out that I have a transfer from the hotel to the port in Copenhagen. Part of my hotel package

Does the airport pick up service pick up the hotel folks as well?  Thanks

I will be coming into the NCL hotel pre cruise for one day. Will the NCL rep be there at that time or do they show up on the day you are transported to the pier?  Thanks

Good morning. I have the free at sea which includes 150 min WI-FI  Do I also need an international plan from Verizon? I

probably will only be using my phone onboard to do things like researching the next port  Thanks in advance

Good morning. I will be transferring at Toronto airport for my flight to Copenhagen. I originate in Philadelphia.  I hold a US passport. Is any special documentation required by Canada to do this transfer?  Thanks in advance. I have tried to get through to NCL flight dept but their lines are quite busy. 

One meal for me😉

☺️ Thanks
