Impressions of Viking

Food: Although there have been some dishes that were disappointing, the food was very good. I also like the fact that beer and wines are complimentary with meals. The drawback is that I know I'm going to gain weight during the cruise, not a good way to start the holiday season. 

Docking locations: Most times, Viking docks in walking distance from an attractive town.  For some reason, the starting and ending locations for this cruise was moved from a dock in Paris to a dock about 30 min by car from Paris, in a town with few good places to walk. 

Impact of Terrorism: one of the other passengers said that 80 out of 200 passengers cancelled, so Viking upgraded some of the passengers to bigger cabins.  Although we weren't upgraded, we enjoyed our luxurious suite.

Bus rides: The visit to the Normandy beaches was a 2 hour bus ride each way.  The buses were comfortable and had a toilet so the trip was ok.  Another tour was a1 hour ride each way, same comfy buses.
