Cant bring myself to try Viking
From what Ive read, altho items are included in Viking it appears they have no entertainment and/or casino on board. I just think for me, I would be bored to death in the evenings. Our nights are spent eating dinner, going to the show, stopping by the casino for a few minutes (and I literally mean a few minutes) and then getting dessert before bed. So I dont think its for us. And I wouldnt pay $5000 for 15 night cruise, never mind 7/8 nights.
I think American River cruises is just as expensive, last time I checked.
