Photopro2 and Azulann, good to see you two again in the the Virtual Explorers Lounge. It’s amazes me how you both seem to fondly remember our shared Trans Atlantic cruise a number of years afterward. We too think back on that particular cruise as one of the best, if not the best one we have experienced. We attribute it to the number of relaxing sea days, great fellow cruisers, the wonderfully attentive Viking Sea crew and officers, and not the least, the most successful Meet and Mingles (the 1st one at the beginning and the 2nd on our last night at the suggestion of the ship’s hotel manager). It all made for great memories.
Patti, we are hoping to be flying into MSP on the 17th of next month for our Viking Mississippi River cruise, but it is looking somewhat “ify”. Viking has had to cancel at least 2 months of the ships initial cruises, so it has not gone into service yet. The 1st cruise that has not been cancelled yet is the August 27th short cruise from St. Louis to MSP with 2 more similar ones before our 15 day MSP to New Orleans. We are checking what our alternatives will be if it is cancelled.
photopro2, we are booked for the same cruise as you are (Buenos Aires to Barcelona)aboard the Viking Jupiter but one year earlier beginning March 13, 2023. This will be our 3rd attempt at this 22day adventure. Both previous bookings have been cancelled for one reason or another.
Just time enough to get a Jack Daniels on the rock before heading back to our cabin and a good night’s sleep rocked gently by the ship’s motion through the seas. I bid one and all bon chance and adieu!
