Viking should look at taking care of (tips) for the many bus drivers, small boat drivers and the security person on our excursions. We understand the tipping off the ship and buses, but when provided by Viking, the tipping should be included
Pros: Excursions, staff, food, safety and great hotel srlections
Cons: Too much extra tipping on Viking buses and small excursion boats.
