My wife, Deb, and I had a great time during the Aug 4-11 cruise on the Emerald. The Skywalker lounge setup was a nice end of the day respite before dinner. One evening, we met another couple who cruise a lot, and were recently on a SilverSea cruise. Though we've traveled a lot on Princess, we had booked a SilverSea cruise for our 50th next year. They provided a lot of info for SS and provided some good comments comparing SS and Princess. We liked our Emerald cruise so much, we also booked same cruise on the Enchanted next August, and will be bringing a long our two grandkids. We talked to a lot of the staff and were quite interested in all their stories. Last time we cruised on Princess was more than 10 years ago.

Not sure if this helps, but I am enrolled with USPS Informed Delivery. This morning, I received a tracking notice from USPS that a tracking number has been assigned and to expect a delivery date notice once vendor has delivered package to USPS. As I've not ordered anything online recently, and we are about 3 weeks away from our cruise, I expect this is early warning that our Medallions are in process and will be on the way very soon. I hope so!

Just finished a call with Princess for CCL military benefit. The good news, after a very long wait as the agent waited for a superior to intervene, it was properly credited for my August cruise. While on the call with Princess, I logged into my brokerage account to see how my order for VIK shares was doing. It was rather dormant for much of the day, with no action. Finally started trading around 12:45pm and I got my shares at 2:21pm. Offering was prices at $24, it opened at $26.15, and I got my shares somewhere in between. We will have to see what is next for shareholders. I love Viking! Many more cruises ahead. Just was on Viking Egypt cruise and Jordan extension. Best time of my life on a cruise.

Thanks for that. Yes, the Port of London Authority does indicate Greenwich as the docking location arriving August 22, where we overnight. We just need to get to Heathrow for a 12:30pm flight back to Dublin. We'll book a Viking transfer to get there.

We are on the Aug 9-23, 2023 Viking British Isles Cruise from Bergen to London. The marketing materials indicate that our Viking Jupiter ship will dock in Greenwich, the cruisemapper.com website says it will dock far from London at the Tilbury International Cruise Terminal which is quite fare from everything. For anyone booked in the comping months, are you getting confirmation from Viking as to the real disembarkation location? Our travel agent is pursuing, but for right now, there is no consistent information. We asked the simple question, "can we purchase a transfer from the disembarkation on August 23rd, 2023, and what is the specific time and duration of the transfer to London City Airport and/or Heathrow. We plan to fly directly to Dublin later that day. We do not have Viking Air. Thank you.
