Hi, the food is out of this world. The ribeye steak in Manfredies is delicious. If you think the buffet restaurant will be inferior to the other options, think again. That was like no buffet I’ve ever seen before, fantastic! This was our first time on Viking and I’m sure it won’t be our last.

Thanks! That’s great info!

We’ll be on the Star in just over 2 weeks! 1st time Viking. How was the food? What was your favorite dish?

At that the beginning of the week I asked on a thread here. But I haven't been able to find anything like the cruise director schedule/roster that some like Carnival have.

Word is that he'll be on the Star for our cruise in June

When we took a Viking Cruise out of Rome in January 2016 the pickup at the airport was fantastic. Once they had a manageable number of patrons, they sent them to the ship. There were many Viking representatives at the airport and once you checked in they took charge, loaded your luggage and showed you on the bus. A big improvement over my past experience on a Viking River Cruise where I had to wait a long time at an airport before they left for the ship. One of the things that I loved about my Ocean Cruise, which was also true on all the tours that week, was that they never waited for the buses to be filled. They would board people for a short period of time and then send off the bus and start loading the next one. The departure from the ship in Barcelona to the airport was also ran very smoothly. When our assigned time came, we went to our bus, they drove us to the nearest door to our airline desk and had porters bring our luggage right to the check in gate. Very well done.

We're flying into Rome next month and time didn't allow for a pre-cruise stay. Did the drive from the airport to the port go through or close enough to see Rome at all?

I'm sure it's a well earned R&R. Those guys put in a lot of work. Texas is a great place for that, of course I may be a little biased.

We'll be on the Star in 41 days. Can someone who is currently or recently onboard give some info on the CD? Thanks.

I'm 6'2" and 240. The provided robe did not fit. I asked the cabin Steward if they had larger and could I get one. He made sure my robe was always big enough to fit.:p

That's great info! I'll do that.

I'll be following this thread since I'm 6'4 and 260.

Midnight Pacific time

Have you tried a non-Viking excursion like Viator? Just a thought.

That was way easier than expected!!!!! I was able to book a table for 4. I had the option to invite guests, and since I had the booking number and last name for my sister and BIL, Done deal!!!! Now if I can go back to sleep!

Thanks so much! I know I can count on you for the good, bad and ugly. LOL.

Tomorrow is the 60 day mark for our Iconic Western Mediterranean Cruise. Any tips on getting a reservation for Manfredi's for 4 people in 2 separate cabins would be appreciated I am prepared to be up at 3am central time if need be. Thanks!!!!

My favorite thread of the week!!!!!!!

On the deck plan it looks like 4052 is directly across, but the other 2 are further away.

That's good to know. We'll be in cabins 3054 & 3052 on the Star, directly across.

I just checked My Viking Journey for our cruise on the Star in June and it shows lunch seating as well!

I greatly appreciate all of the advice!!!! We set sail on our 1st Viking Cruise in 120 Days!!!!!!!

We'll be in cabins 3052 and 3054 in June. Good thing I'm a musician. I plan on enjoying all of the entertainment Viking has to offer!

Great info! We are booked on our first Viking cruise in June and will definitely be following this thread!
