Viking Ocean is very good. We enjoyed the ship design and the food and service was excellent. There's no casino and no kids - a big plus for us. One thing we didn't care for was the entertainment or lack thereof - this was a long cruise from Miami to South America, a leg from their World Cruise. They do have good speakers, but the music is almost totally classical and quite bland, imo. The cabins are very nice as well. I'd give it shot if the itinerary is what you are looking for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of analysis on excursions, drinks, transfers, etc. what about booking airfare including the air deviation options? Thanks. SS business class upgrade to Europe is around $2,000 USD for 2024 sailings, a very good value in my opinion. This is for flights from Toronto. We usually don't book air with the cruise line, but this was too good to pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy cruzer Posted July 4, 2023 #204 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Thanks. I like O's air pricing but when you add the dev fee, it hurts a bit. Some of the lines don't charge that and you might even get a lower price by doing the deviation. But since we rarely do the premium/luxury lines, love hearing what others have experienced.

Compare what the airfare is doing it yourself then see what it will be with Oceania including the deviation fee I would never just take Oceania air without asking for the flights I want & paying the fee if they can get it less than I pay with the airlines Do your homework 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
