  1. I don't ever remember the restaurant NOT being open for breakfast.
  2. I was wondering about the Odessey. I will look for some reviews from passengers. I know it is a small ship but prices seem to be high.
  3. I am so disappointed to hear this about Vantage. Really want to take the trip to Croatia but I certainly would probably only book a few weeks out to be sure it was a GO! I wonder if the new ship is sailing at all? Anyone been onboard. Linda 47 please report back after you do the Great Lakes. Is it scheduled on the new ship?
  4. I almost never get a promo code!!! Must be because we almost always have cruise booked. This is a GREAT idea Clay!!! I especially want Free SSP!
  5. We are doing an Antarctic Expedition this winter. I will not be dressing for dinner like I usually do on Ocean Cruises. There just will NOT be room in the luggage! Black slacks and a couple of warm tops probably NO jewelry, one pair of ballet flats. I imagine my husband will take one pair of slacks and long sleeved polos, perhaps a button down shirt and he will NOT be wearing a ball cap ( one of biggest peeves in any of eating venues.) But I am not sure why jeans are easier than a pair of slacks to wear in the dining room. Plus jeans take so long to dry!
  6. I always take a sweater...my husband NEVER does! and I do take one to the Main Dining Room because it depends on WHERE you are seated and how crowded it is.
  7. Great to heat. Waiting to hear experiences on the new ocean ship. We are Viking Ocean past passengers and would like to see how they compare? Is Vantage still NO Travel Agents?
  8. strange...maybe one of us who responded broke a rule....hope you had been reading them each day. Best of Luck to your wife!
  9. It makes me addicted to MVJ for a couple of months before we cruise!!! I dislike surprises once onboard!
  10. with the amount of lost luggage lately...maybe Viking should have a "shopping" room stocked with things passengers left on ship! HAHA on our last cruise Viking's laundry did the daily wash for a couple who had lost luggage.
  11. we are scheduled for end of December and hope she sails too!!!
  12. not inclined to pay for them!
  13. I would like eating in WC if all things were served! I have seen too many passengers doing silly things in the lines!! The omlet station works for me at breakfast and for lunch I gan get a Caesar Salad or soup and grilled shrimp handed to me. Otherwise I wash my hands AGAIN before I eat after touching serving spoons! But often times I still feel like it is a Jack in Box experience up/down so many times and triple that when trying to eat with others....and getting a wine other than "included" is difficult...I usually go to the aquavit bar myself to order! The wait staff tries hard but they are very busy....and do they put new placemats down or just wipe them off? and I am always loosing silverware!!!
  14. It is a beautiful cruise!
  15. I really miss those travel pouches!!! They are great to help keep things organized. I sure don't need anymore luggage tags but we did not get any extras with our 4 segment b2b cruises this winter. Remember way back when Viking was new and we also got "thank you" gifts after the cruise? I guess we should just be happy that Viking has been able to stay in business and continue to provide a great journey!!!
  16. Agree 100%...so nice on WC where it is included !
  17. Have you had that verified by someone?
  18. we take them to get great coffee in the "living room" and then take it to breakfast!
  19. no we just did not share table in restaurants
  20. SM77 why don't you just use the liquid body soap from the ship's container ?
  21. We returned april 31 from 4 b2b about 60 days onboard the Jupiter. As the number of passengers increased with each new segment so did the positive cases...definitely the new folks coming onboard brought virus from their travels from home (since everyone had to have a negative test to show up)! I also think that once masks were no longer mandated (on buses especially) the cases went up significantly. Each new segment we went back to 95masks and ate by ourselves for 3-5 days! We stayed healthy throughout. I do think the drinks int he Explorers' Lounge also provided added immunity :)!!!
  22. I would so like to be in a Viking focus group!!! what other things were discussed? Included gratuities? Slow walkers group for Ocean excursions?
  23. and don't forget the green juice for a healthy morning drink!!!
  24. Yes, putting in your credit card every time is time consuming! Thanks for the tip on the e-check!
