Clarity on Barcelona docking location post mid October?
Liz Masterson replied to bison2013's topic in Viking Ocean
I plan on checking on my MArine Traffic App the day of boarding... Also it is possible to call the ship. The phone number is somewhere on your documents. -
Clarity on Barcelona docking location post mid October?
Liz Masterson replied to bison2013's topic in Viking Ocean
Following for early November cruise. The Viking ship might be small enough that it will stay. -
So Viking handled our bags several times on our 2022 Norway-Iceland Cruise. We started with a pre-extension in Oslo. On the last evening in Oslo, we left our large bags outside our room and a luggage baggage handling company picked them up and took them by van/truck to the hotel in Bergen. I'm trying to remember... I think they were waiting for us inside our room, or maybe outside our room at the Bergen hotel. I don't bring anything expensive or delicate with me when I travel. In situations like this, I always keep necessary documents and medication with me in a day pack.

Alsoā¦ if one person in the cabin has to bow out it should be easier to substitute someone else. Sure there could be a fee. But how it is done now is ridiculous.

Iād really love more overnight ports on cruises. The chance to dive more deeply into the location. Not all ports of course but some. Iād love to see more small group excursionsā¦. But monetarily I get that it would be challenging. There should always be the option to book a 1 day pre extension that just includes the hotel and transfer to the ship. Transfer from the airport would be great tooā¦ but I can live without that. To be able to fly in the day before to take some of the stress off the fly in would help lower anxiety greatly. No one likes that part. It would also give lost bags some time to catch up. Flying post 2020 is not what it was in 2019.

Eastern Seaboard Cruise - Help with Boston port stop
Liz Masterson replied to Suzanneab's topic in Viking Ocean
I always recommend a stop to see the Glass Flowers at the Harvard Museum of Natural History. They are absolutely amazing and you will not find them anywhere else in the world. So realistic they will take your breath away! https://hmnh.harvard.edu/glass-flowers -
I do not hesitate to recommend them based on my experience. Also, check out their Trip Adviser reviews.

Do TVs Have USB ports for the Firestick
Liz Masterson replied to QualityPlus's topic in Viking Ocean
Well, that would suck. One of the highlights is being rocked to sleep. I kind of like a slightly rocky ride at night time. -
Absolutely loved an independent tour I booked with this family-run company to their sloth hangout. https://monkeyandslothhangout.com/site/our-excursions/

We often piggyback our cruise with my husband's business travel. Once he had a work meeting in Poland so met me in Oslo for our pre-cruise extension. I wanted to get in a day early to explore a bit with him so Viking was not going to transport me to the hotel anyway. So work paid to get him to Oslo and we used points to get me to Oslo. We used Viking Air to get home. For our next Mediterranean trip, we want to spend 3 nights in Barcelona on our own. So we are flying in early on our own and using Viking to get us home from their Tuscan Villa Extension. You when you book your cruise go ahead and let them add Viking Air. If you decide to fly on your own they return that portion of your fee.

This may have been posted here before... But I think this video on Viking Ocean Dining options is so well done it deserves the attention of all New Viking Cruisers.

Or you could splurge on this amazing AirBnB... https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1169191?source_impression_id=p3_1693672242_LbqTAnwQSHT1skES

Also, those drawers in the bathroom are pretty big. I kept my undergarments in there, to free up other drawers.

No. But that is easily solved by asking your steward for extra hangers and hanging everything up.

Just thinking... what a wonderful problem for Viking to have... everyone is tired of seeing the ABBA and The Beatles shows on the Viking ships... This indicates they have a very high number of returning sailors... So maybe they could cut back on all the catalog mailings? I'd love just one big beautiful Viking Cruise Guidebook each year...

Ice trays? For injuries or cocktails? And a picture frame? Does it frame someone special? Is it to put new photos of your adventures in? Inquiring minds want to knowā¦ -

Live from the Viking Neptune World Cruise 2022-23

Marriage game eh? On a cruise of this lengthā¦ that could be a BIG mistake when couples are sharing small quartersā¦ -
Here is my reading pile. Iāve gotten thru some of them. Iād like to put in a pitch for juvenile books. The 2 thin books are from the non fiction selves in the childrenās library. Kiddie Lit (as we called the course in teachers college) has to distill complex concepts into concise, accurate reading that gets the point across. The book āSilver Peopleā is a young adult book written in verse about different viewpoints along the canal. āCanal Zone Daughterā is a first person account of a woman who grew up with her family living in the Canal Zone. I was noticing much of my reading was more historical than that and I wanted something more recent. āSaffireā seems like it might be a bodice ripping romance. Perfect for poolside. š
