Love this! Been waiting for this video. Thank for documenting all the food, it looks absolutely heavenly, although I’m not a fan of Fois gras. I’m shocked they served Dutch stamppot on a Caribbean cruise. This is something I would gladly never like to see when I’m outside the Netherlands. 😂

Just got off a plane and watched “Julia” - One of her comments, “If people don’t like food, she doesn’t want to be friends with them” - or something like that. Another is People who love to eat are always the best people." And let us say, “Amen” 😂

Love the part with Chef Joseph; all the food looked fantastic!

Viking food just keeps getting better and better. A caveat though: What I think is super fab, others may not. After all, we all have opinions. Thanks for your time Nick to view and comment.

I had to watch this video twice so that I could see all the delicious food again and make sure I didn't miss anything !! Wow, everything looked amazingly delicious. I'm ready to book a Viking cruise just for the food. Thanks so much for this wonderful video !!

That is exactly why convinced me to take the nondescript (to me, compared to the sights we were supposed to see on cancelled Hurtigruten cruise). Great, great food! Thanks for yumming the video with me. ❤️

Have you booked yet? We'll be going on our second cruise with Viking starting 10/31! . We are really looking forward to the ocean cruise as we have only done a river cruise in the past...FYI...the food was amazing on that ...it really helped that we went during Covid and there were only 29 guests on board!

It all looked sublime! Wonderful! I would have eaten everything! Thank you for the video!

Photography is fantastic. I'm with you in loving foie gras. You are adventurous, and apparently have been since the seventies. That was my first trip to .France in 1971.

On a ship recently, Viking to be exact, with veg Son, and I’m digging into calf’s liver, foie gras and he’s going, “eww” 😂 Told him, don’t look or move to another table. 😂 And yes I am adventurous, life is too short to waste a minute. 🌈✈

@@SheilaSimkin haha. I did try ris de veau when I studied in France in 1971 but didn't like it. I love foie gras but do not care for brains and other organ meats. If God didn't want us to eat everything, he wouldn't have created it! I love sushi and have eaten kangaroo in .Australia, moose and elk in the US, snake…didn't care for it. I do love venison and rabbit. Yum!

Excuse my belated comments, Sheila. The tours may have been limited, but the food seemed plentiful - enjoyed this video very much. And Marine Steve spoke not once but twice to the camera! Thanks again for giving so much of yourself to your viewers by sampling so much of the food! And Steve also...

amazing food! Definitely beats my cruise. Although we did have creme brulee with carmelized sugar on top, which is my favorite. I would have sent that modified version bk too! you mentioned there weren't many people on the ship. I don't see how they can afford to serve such a variety with so few people on board. they must be really losing money.

My thoughts exactly! They have hundreds of crew that have to be paid, fuel, food costs, etc., the list goes on and on. My word is “hemorrhaging money” 😢 Food was really wonderful 👍

I don't think the pigeon in pea soup has pigeon. I think that's the name of the type of pea.

Sorry, John, but you are correct, the food is usually what I like and am eating. That is, unless you watch some of my old Cambodia vids with tarantulas, snakes and other very unusual foods. (Yes, I did try a tarantula). NOW, if I was actually paid to do travel documentaries, had a crew and a script, that would be totally different 😂 However, I appreciate your time to view and comment and hope you and yours are well.
