Unless you organize a card game with fellow passengers, none, although they do have electronic game tables that include poker, blackjack. Backgammon, chess and checkers. It seems you haven’t really researched Viking’s product. It’s not like other cruise lines. Edited June 26 by OneSixtyToOne 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AroundWithMAPTravels Posted June 26 #6 Share Posted June 26 Note that the game tables that @OneSixtyToOne refers to are just that, games. Not gambling games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larryems1 Posted June 27 #8 Share Posted June 27 No official photographers nor is there any official gambling. Perhaps poker in your cabin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffElizabeth Posted June 27 #9 Share Posted June 27 One reason we are trying out Viking in September is because we don't care much for gambling or photos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirklette Posted June 27 #11 Share Posted June 27 It's our first time on Viking as well. Can someone fill me in on the types of entertainment at night? I know it's much lower key than on a "regular" cruise ship. Also - We're considering an excursion, 9-11:00, the first night. Would we be missing anything special - on embarkation evening?

formernuke Posted June 27 #12 Share Posted June 27 No, you would not be missing anything "special" on the first night. There are no embarkation day special activities to speak of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One that first afternoon and evening in Bergen, I think you will find folks going ashore for dinner and evening walks. Aboard, folks will be getting familiar with the ship and resting, after a long period of travels. I'm sure that evening there will be a lecture on Bergen, but you can always watch a taping of it on demand at your leasure in your cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our recent Hong Kong to Vancouver cruise, there was a destination performance (Awa dance) the evening before passengers disembarked in Tokyo. It was repeated on the evening passengers embarked in Tokyo. This was one of the many highlights of our cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They evening schedule typically consists of a Port Talk, Enrichment Lecture, Trivia in the Explorers’ Lounge followed by live music (typically a guitarist), classical duo in the Atrium, some sort of show in the Star Theater (solo singer, duet, musical review, magic act, comedian, etc.). The schedule changes on sea days as well as additional activities. There is usually some form of local entertainment and enrichment at some ports. Pool deck usually has a special dinner or movie night. Edited June 27 by OneSixtyToOne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoj Posted June 27 #16 Share Posted June 27 In reply to the OP’s literal question, I do not offer any photo packages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either sit in the theater or sit on the bus, we still have to wait for the (choose you own epithet) few who think deadlines don't apply to them. I'd rather wait in the theater. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather wait in the theater. yes ALWAYS irritating to me....and those that saunter on and never apologize. Yes there is an occasional acceptable reason for being late BUT at least be courteous to the other 25 folks you have made wait for you!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
