Food, Glorious Food on a Viking Danube Cruise

[@simondavey7787]

As always, stomach rumblingly delicious. Thank you for all your videos. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your travels. Much love from the UK. Si.

[@SheilaSimkin]

Thanks so much, Simon, for all your views and nice comments. So much food! It gets to the point where a person can get nauseous just looking at it all. Best to you, Sheila

[@barclayjb]

Thanks for the review Sheila. It looks like you had a wonderful time.

[@SheilaSimkin]

I can't say anything bad about this river cruise, Jay, except for what is similar to any "tour" - there's never enough time to enjoy what appeals. It is meant to be a "taste" and that's exactly what it is. Great unpacking once. Delicious food (yum). And interesting ports. Thank you for watching and best regards, Sheila

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Oh, that looked magnificent! And none of it needed to be cooked by you or Steve! How could anyone complain?! Thank you for the video!

[@SheilaSimkin]

It's no wonder that we arrive back home and I just look at my stove. After an array like this, it is almost impossible to think, or decide, on what to make!

Breakfast is always great on Viking - salad bar at lunch too. Dinner on Viking River cruises hit or miss

[@SheilaSimkin]

I agree with you. However, no food on any cruise (or anywhere) is never 100% perfect. When you think about the number of people Viking has to please, it is amazing that they get it right most of the time. I heard a woman with her daughter on her cruise complaining and eating most of their meals off the ship because they thought the food was terrible. Can’t please everyone. Thanks for watching and taking time to give others your opinion. Regards, Sheila

Excellent!

[@SheilaSimkin]

Thanks for taking time to watch, Sherry. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and regards to you, Sheila

[@AB-pr4uc]

Wonderful food options, TY for sharing. As big of a foodie I am, I would have been exhausted by all that food halfway through the cruise (even such a high-end one). They really try to pack in as much as possible in a short amount of time.

[@SheilaSimkin]

I so agree with you about not wanting to even look at food anymore. And there is so much waste! But what an a person do about that? Thanks for taking time to watch and comment. Best regards and hope you have a happy New Year, Sheila

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

@@SheilaSimkin Because it is a river cruise, with land nearby, I hope they find some worthy charity to forward it to so that the leftovers are not wasted!

[@SheilaSimkin]

No they don't, Daniel. All food is thrown out! I find this so upsetting because the leftovers could probably feed a small nation. Sigh...@@danielintheantipodes6741

It all look delicious 😋 to me.

[@SheilaSimkin]

There is delicious, and there is "wonderful" Tracy. After eating non-stop for days, I think passengers (including me) then begin to break down what is served into, good and wonderful. But it is still amazing the amount of food the galley manages to churn out, day in and day out, isn't it? Thanks for watching and best regards, Sheila

[@rudyrox]

What a spread!

[@SheilaSimkin]

It is certainly overkill, Rudy and when you think about the amount of meals the galley turns out with so much variety, it's mind-boggling. Thanks for watching!

[@libbymorrison9975]

I’ve been on 4 Viking cruises. I always gain 5 lbs with the wonderful food.

[@SheilaSimkin]

Thank you for the consolation, Libby. It seems no matter what I eat (or don't eat), I gain weight. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment. Best regards, Sheila

My wife and I are going on the Rhine with Viking August 2021. I have a question about dinner. I know they list 'courses', but can you order more than one appetizer, entrée or dessert at a meal (without getting awkward looks from the waiter)? I want to try numerous food items at each meal, but there are only so many times to eat.

[@SheilaSimkin]

Hi Scott and thanks for your question. Know you'll have a great cruise! We walked along the Rhine years ago. It is fantastic. Oh yes. About your question 🤣. I am a firm believer in multiple orders. When in doubt, go for it and order away. The waiters are so used to it and many times when I've ordered something that is so-so, the waiter takes one look at my plate and asks, "Would you like something else?" Many times there is no room at the table for all of Steve's and my dishes 😱 Best to you and thanks for your time to view and ask a question. Sheila 😍

[@davidmccutcheon485]

Torture, just pure torture watching this. And I just might watch it again. Thanks again for bringing us along to the table...even if we can only watch.

[@SheilaSimkin]

It takes a while after a cruise for me to even think of food as appetizing. Wouldn't taste-o-vision be nice? Or...not! Thanks for watching David and taking your time to post a comment. Best regards, Sheila

[@alphaxg1]

Is there "table for two" availability?

[@SheilaSimkin]

All tables in the main dining area are big with no tables for two. But there is an area off the Upper Lounge that people can only eat dinner and have a table for two. The menu is exactly the same and very few people take advantage of it. Steve and I were almost always the only two up there. Thanks for your view and don't hesitate to ask if I can answer other questions. Regards, Sheila 😍

[@jitendersinghvlogs9732]

Wow Tasty tasty

[@SheilaSimkin]

It's getting to the point where I can't even look at food anymore.Such a shame when so much of the world is starving.

[@benjyc9746]

Oh !!!! I think I’ve put 10 lbs on watching !!!!!

[@SheilaSimkin]

I'm glad you enjoyed the pseudo 10 pounds. I'm struggling with the real 5 pounds! Love food...

[@deepakpowar2652]

Food is great but please try to avoid wastage .

[@SheilaSimkin]

It really sickens me, Deepak, the amount of food that is thrown away each day in restaurants or on a cruise. Even though I do my best to eat what’s on my plate, it is impossible and sad. 😢The amount tossed each day could probably feed a small nation. Thanks for taking tine to watch and comment. Best to you, Sheila 😍
