[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cunard is lovely but I’d caution taking an 80 year old on an overnight flight to Europe unless she is in very good health. I think JFK might have daytime flights to London and Paris.

Re: Viking - river cruising is very different from big ship cruising like Cunard.

I think big ship cruising is more fun because of the evening entertainment.

What about doing a cruise out of Florida? Avoid Disney, Carnival, NCL, and Royal Caribbean (more kids, more crowds, more rowdy) and opt for Celebrity, Holland, etc.

I’m not sure if Cunard cruises out of the US. I’ve only seen their ships in Europe/Mediterranean. We basically followed a Cunard ship in the Mediterranean last summer; their passengers skew older and appear more affluent/preppy (based on seeing their passengers in lines and on tours).

Yes Cunard cruises out of the US, and Viking has many ocean ships.[/quote]

Correct re: Viking—but most people associate Viking with River cruising in Europe. [b]They don’t have many ocean ships[/b] and they aren’t known for entertainment. Viking is good for older people who are very social and like group tours and group dinners socializing with other older people. There are a lot of older couples on Viking. I’m not sure it’s the right fit for the op and her MIL. [/quote]

Viking currently has 9 ocean ships.  That's more than cunard (3), seabourn (6), regent (6), crystal (2), oceania (7), azamara (4) and only one less than silversea (10).

Kinda hard to support the claim they don't have many ocean ships.  And they are preparing to launch 6 more over the next three years.[/quote]
