I would just wear the medals, but then people wonder what they are for or from what service. So, a collar devise and small SCW device usually gives them some indication that they are not Boy Scout or NSCC awards. Also, on my jacket at work, we are allowed two "pins" and it has been a thorn in my side, but I wear a full size SCW device and CPO cap device. Hey, I only have two pins on my lapel for work. Talk with other vets so it makes for a good rapport with people coming in.

What company would you all suggest to rent a golf cart?

About this Viking Venus cruise that starts in Greenwich, is it for the British Isles cruise that ends in Bergen during the month of September 2024? My wife and I are booked for that cruise and date. I know there are a number of ports of call that require tendering. Kind of wondering how many which ones might be cancelled due to inability to either enter the port or high seas? We had two cancelled on our last cruise (Northern Lights in Norway) Narvik and Amsterdam. Has anyone start a group for that British Isles Cruise in September, 2024? Maybe if there is not, I could do so if someone showes me the way.

Sir, you know what they always say "A Chief can become an officer, but an officer can not become a Chief." We have standards. (Anyone laughing?)

The magnetic hooks can be used almost any place there is an empty spot. Have done it inside the cabin and outside to put a small banner to let people know about my wife and I and helps start conversations with people who see it. One suggestion is that if you can get the magnets with the hooks that fold flat, it helps with packing them.

My mistake, the cruise starts from Tilbury (London), England and ends in Bergen. The cruise is the British Isles Explorer and we arrive and check in on September 2, 2024. Leaving Boston on 1 September 2024. Just seeing if there is anyone else coming onboard for this cruise who are also members of the Cruise Critic page.

Hi, Wife and I have booked a Viking Ocean British Isles Explorer Cruise from Bergen to Tilbury in September, 2024. Am wondering if anyone else maybe booked on this cruise. Hope that if there is, hope we can all meet early on in the cruise for a Meet and Greet. Danny and Beth

Thanks.

As much as I would like to wear the mess dress as a Legalman Chief Petty Officer, USN, I have not had the opportunity nor the inclination to purchase a new dress uniform for sailing occasions. But what I do wear for formal nights, dining and formal gatherings is a dark jacket and pants. On the lapel of my jacket would and will be mu CPO device, my Seabee Combat Warfare badge and my medals (all in miniture). Works for recognition, and happy with it.
