Is anyone starting to plan around this inaugural cruise?

Just returned from the Maiden voyage segment Istanbul to Venice on Viking Star. Plenty of hiccups but somewhat expected this being their inaugural cruise. Entertainment was limited and what made it less desirable were the venues (for example the atrium and Torshavn) limited the number of people that could attend.

Food was very good but in the restaurant very very slow service, so in turn we spent most of our dinner time upstairs in the World Cafe.

TV's had very very limited service and lots and lots of technical problems.

The ship is just gorgeous. The spa and fitness center beautiful however $75 for a simple manicure is quite high. Staff very helpful but seemed confused at times.

Tours good however with the limited amount of only 6 lifeboats on board that are also used as tenders -times can be somewhat slow.

Bathrooms fantastic!
