We made a trip with Viking Line Cinderella between Friday and Saturday. Sometimes it is nice to get away on a small trip, even if you do not go so far away. The entertainment section on Viking Line Cinderella has been rebuilt, and there is both a new nightclub and new restaurants. So what did we think?

ShareRestaurants at Cinderella
We have been able to try two different restaurants on board the the vessel. We had dinner at the new Italian restaurant Bottega Prosecco Bar. We must say that this restaurant offered a very nice environment, good food and great service! We shared a plate of Italian cold cuts for starters and then had a perfectly cooked beef fillet for the main course.
Today we had lunch at Ocean Grill, which unfortunately was not as impressive. Here we were greeted by far too long waiting times and somewhat disengaged service. The food was ok, but not as good as at Bottega Prosecco Bar.
The interior of the new parts definitely makes the cruise feel a little more luxurious compared to before. But otherwise, the atmosphere is as it should be on an Åland cruise ... plenty of people who have had the occasional Longdrink too much in Tax Freen.
Entertainment on the Viking Line Cinderella
The atmosphere in the women's toilets was probably at its best. There the happy chatter was loud! Unfortunately, the music was not much for us. There was, among other things, karaokee and otherwise it was rock and dance music from the 90s, performed by some half-bored entertainers in glittery clothes. But that's always the case, you have to like the music to feel like dancing. For us it was not too late on Friday night ...

Yes, that's how we usually feel on these cruises. Oh just the entertainment sucks... if you are still sober enough to take it in. Oh, you are - unfortunately;-)

The last time I went just cinderella, E-type appeared and then it was a really good move. But yes, it is quite sunk in general haha and probably does best after a few shots 😉.

I've never gone on a Friday or Saturday night and I can imagine that some of the audience is more festive then. We have sometimes looked at which artists have performed and then booked, mostly Tuesday to Thursday or Sunday. Pensioners...
Great that the food was good in Bottega, but sad that the service and food was worse in Ocean Grill.
Now one experience richer....

It's been many, many years since I've been on an Åland cruise, and I can't say it's particularly appealing....

Have a nice weekend!

It has been a long time since we did a cruise. Not so fond of the rocking on the sea.

BP, well we were sober enough for that...
Alexandra, I think you should probably choose cruises according to what it is for artists or themes - then it can be better! However, the boat felt much nicer now than before, with the new restaurants.
Ditte, if you want artists you like, it's probably smart to check first! Bottega was really nice! Not so stressful there, but calm and good food.
Marina, not really us either... but with the right company or the right choice of entertainment, it can still be enjoyable.
Inga, thank you so much! I like it too, but it's just something simple and cheap from like Glitter.
JoY, the rocking is quite used to us... hihi... although it actually rocked much more on the Åland boat than on our little boat at home!

No boat trip we are longing for anymore, we have finished with the Öresund boats. Thanks for the honest reviews, the Italian meal was up to par, great!
