I am appreciating all the discussion and am learning a lot. I now remember being on the Queen Mary on a TA, sailing tandem with the Queen Elizabeth. They changed position every night so starboard folks had a good view of the sister ship one day, next day portside woke up to the older sister along side. It was amazing!

Excellent points! The Star is a big ship and we will not be hugging the coast. I'm remembering our last cruise, a small expedition ship (the Vavilov) - we were fortunate to be on the land side. Great views!

A big ship will be a big change for us. Thanks again, we just saved $800!

My husband and I are considering a Med cruise on Viking Star, Rome to Rome. Looks like the ship leaves Rome, heads south to Sicily, circumnavigates the Med and returns to Rome. The best views will be portside, land?

We're quite happy with a basic V cabin which gives us no cabin choice.

If we want to choose we'll have to pay $400 extra, each, for a DV4 (also a bunch of extras are included we're not interested in). Same size cabin!

Wiil the portside have nicer views? Is it worth paying $800? Any other suggestions?

Many thanks, Saskia, first timer on Viking
