3,000+ Club (3/15)

  1. They will give you a paper menu, if you ask. Your son is right--Carnival is the best!
  2. You also have access if you are in a Grand Suite.
  3. Of course they are allowed. Your shoulders and knees should be covered, but saw a number of women who didn't do that.
  4. I've dived at Puerto Vallarta for the last 12 years. The last couple of years it got worse and worse, so I will not dive there again.
  5. We got the payments on our credit cards refunded within days. I then went and got us booked on Panorama in May (paid with our 100% FCC), and Miracle in March 2025 for a 15-day Panama Canal cruise. Our refund was applied to that, but we still owe about $4,000. More days, and in a Grand Suite on both cruises.
  6. We were booked on the November 18th cruise, so we get the full refund plus 100 percent FCC. We've already rebooked the Panorama for next April (same cruise minus La Paz) and a Panama Canal cruise in March 2025. We kept the Grand Suite for both cruises since the cost is pretty much covered. We were supposed to get the credit today, but nothing yet. We were driving to Long Beach so no airline refund difficulties.
  7. Let me rephrase. There are NO fun activities on Viking. Boring......
  8. We were in Pisa on Thursday, better weather. No interest in going inside either building since this was my third time here. I've even climbed the bell tower in the past. I never use the showers in the changing room, prefer my own room. In fact, I never have a need to use the changing room. But, there should be supplies there for the guests who want to use them. I prefer my own products. This is my first time on Viking. We have another one next year on the southern Nile. I'd rather be on Carnival where there are so many more fun activities. I would kill for some karaoke!
  9. I cruise for the ports and dive at every port. Wouldn't think of staying on the ship and missing out.
  10. I'm on that cruise right now, going the whole distance to Istanbul. I agree with most of which was said. After our second night in The Restaurant where they brought both of us the wrong dinners and it took forever, I said no more. We are thoroughly enjoying the World Cafe. As for Pisa, it was only sprinkling at times for us and very pleasant. The cloudiness only added to the scene. The thermal pool is wonderful and not finding any problem getting enough bubbles. LOL Unfortunately, we also missed Crotone today due to strong winds. That was a major disappointment for me since I am a professional archaeologist and wanted to see the Archaeological Museum there. Next stop is Bari and it doesn't sound too thrilling.
  11. Very easy, we do it all the time.
