Thanks SO much for taking the time; it sounds amazing! We also love to strike up conversations with the many interesting fellow cruisers we've met casually on our five VO adventures. I tried to PM you to express appreciation, but it said ( by the little envelope) that the feature was disabled 🤔 . Fingers crossed that we can take this dream vacation.

I would LOVE to hear about your French Polynesian cruise and was thinking about writing you a PM 😃. We're ( casually because of house and pets) looking at this 33 day itinerary on Neptune in 2024. It would be more than twice as long as any cruise we've been on since our 3 and 4 day cruising in the 80's !

AWW, I always feel sad for those who feel they have to put down other cruisers. We've enjoyed fraction of the price, yet SO much fun and excitement in younger days! Speaking from over 30 years of twice yearly, mainstream cruises; some fantastic, all great - now older; 5 VO cruises. Just not into this; we met wonderful friends through the years.

Ugh, this thread is so depressing - we paid over 15K this year - oh, to go next year, partially use a Viking voucher for Empires of the Mediterranean. When the pandemic is over, (years?, good grief). All of this testing, masking nonsense is in place because of those who will not let go and obviously need to stay home for their piece of mind. Why, oh why, do the minority alarmists not think most others are on expensive vacations 🤔 and would actually want to enjoy meeting people, enjoy ports, NOT wear masks, spit in tubes before 8 AM daily? We'll lose the $, go to pool, lake, great restaurants and have a much better time if restrictions go back.

Oh, gosh, we've gone on so many cruises since our mid 30's.- beautiful places, great time meeting people, fun times. Now, married over 45 years and booked on our 5th VO cruise, I just can't imagine Viking in our 20's. Wonderful ships, great food and service, but not.a demographic for young honeymooners. All the best !
