Viking River Cruises

I received a call from William Karevoll on our most recent Viking cruise - Paris & the Heart of Normany (4792731) that we took with two couples that I highly recommended Viking cruise. (1st time on Viking). We and my guest were very disappointed with the food served on the ship. The food was very marginal (like going to Denny's) and not comparable with other cruises we have taken or previous Viking cruise. Also we were very disappointed with the noise and smoke in our room. William last email stated I needed to contact customer service. We are requesting either a delay in payment or ship credit on next cruise with you. (5224855) We currently have three rooms booked (Nancy Meech will also be jointing us again) and had five rooms booked on our previous Viking cruise.

See below for string of emails. If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me.

Hi Gary,

Thanks again for the feedback, we greatly value that. I have forwarded your concerns along, but I do not have the ability to issue credits/refunds or change the final payment date. Those kinds of requests can be escalated to [protected]@vikingcruises.com for further review. Be sure to include your booking number, a description of the issue, and what you are requesting.

Best regards,

William, thank you for your email and I'm glad you guaranteed the food situation will improve and be what we expect on a Viking cruise. Also, I appreciate you took the time to survey us and get our feedback. Did you talk with anyone else in our group as they encountered the same situation? As a business owner, I know you need honest feedback so you can correct issues timely. As our group has been on several Viking cruises and we encountered this food issue on our last cruise can you either postponed final payment or provide us with a shipboard credit?

Thank you.
