This is a quick cabin tour or room tour of a "deluxe veranda" class cabin on Viking Ocean cruise ship Viking Sea during a Caribbean West Indies Explorer Cruise. All Viking ocean cruise ships have verandas and the difference between a deluxe and regular veranda is how many specialty restaurant guarantees you get and how far in advance you can book excursions. The date is February 26, 2018 while Viking Sea is docked in Puerto Rico at the beginning of the cruise, which was fabulous. 

There is a reason why I say quick tour--I am in the process of posting another video giving a much more detailed tour and showing in detail a lot of the cool features of these very nice cabins. I know some people are not interested in all the details and so that's why I have made two, one for each taste so to speak.  But, as I said, all cabins on all Viking ocean cruise ships have verandas unlike many other lines. With Viking the difference between deluxe and regular is simply what deck you may be on and much more importantly, whether you get specialty restaurant guaranteed reservations and how far in advance you can book excursions. The excursion issue is the most significant because even with deluxe, many excursions are totally booked by the time the slots open to deluxe veranda class and so if you really want to make sure you get whichever excursion you want, you need to book a suite, that is assuming you have the money. And, even though a few excursions are sold out, there have always been many great ones still left so it hasn't been a real problem so far.
