Yep... a great product -- whether it be River, Ocean, OR Expedition. Reach out to us when you're ready to book again. We can always add goodies not available on Direct bookings.
They actually do enforce the clothing rules for the specialty restaurants. It just depends who the Maitre d' is, and if they feel like enforcing the rules or not.
Enjoyed your video very much! I have a question about our room on an upcoming cruise. I wonder if you would give me your opinion. We are in DV5, Room 4002. It's at the very front of the ship so I'm concerned about rough seas. And also wonder if the Suite next to use would block our view from the veranda in any way. What are your thoughts? Thanks
All the Viking Ocean ships have the latest in stabilizing equipment, but even so, you will feel the ship move more at the front than in other places. If you're on the open ocean this might matter (can't predict the weather). If you're in Alaska, the Med, or the Baltic, then it is less likely (although not impossible) you'll experience rough seas. I haven't stayed in room 4002, but I can't see any reason your view would be obstructed any more or less than any other DV room on that deck.
You can get tea in the World Cafe, and I'm assuming you can get it at the bar in the atrium next to the piano. They have a coffee bar there with snacks throughout the day. I have never seen anyone getting tea there, but I'm sure you can. They also have afternoon tea every single day in the Wintergarden, and if you're walking through the Explorer's Lounge in the afternoon, they will usually have coffee and hot water sitting on the bar so you can make your own tea. If you want to do it in your own room, I'm sure you can ask your room steward about having tea and a kettle of hot water in your room every single day.
