Really glad to see you've made it this far...almost there!

Thanks for doing the CC updates, in addition to Instagram, Clay. Really looking forward to hearing how it goes. Good luck with the travel!

Lois, which three did you end up with?

While we've consistently had above-and-beyond service on our Viking cruises from every one of the crew members, one example that jumps to mind is from our In the Wake of the Vikings cruise. We had surprisingly wonderful weather almost every day, including two days of sun in Bergen. Our day in the Faroe Islands was cool and drizzly. After a long day of touring out in the elements, my husband's shoes were a muddy mess. He set them aside in the bathroom on a plastic bag to deal with after dinner. When we got back to the cabin about five hours later, after dinner, the show in the Star Theatre, and a little time in Explorers, our cabin steward had removed the shoes, cleaned them thoroughly, replaced a slightly frayed lace, and rubbed them with leather protector. Amazingly thoughtful, but not that unusual in our experience on Viking.

Viking has no casinos.

To help prioritize your searches, take a look at Viking, Oceania, and Azamara. Lots of inclusives, much less nickel-and-diming.

My mother and I were in this suite for a very special birthday on a 7-day cruise in 2019, and we heard no noise from anywhere. It was a wonderful experience.

I don't know about cruises, since we haven't been on one since the before times, but I'm seeing them everywhere else...concerts, outdoor/garden weddings, even just walking around outdoor malls. So it seems like they actually are having a moment right now.

How is the arch support? I have really high arches, and that is my one "rule". I love the way these look!

Favorite so far: Asian Panorama Second favorite so far: Scandinavian Want to try: Great Britain #1 Wish they would create: Greek

I have a cream-colored pashmina - a largish one - that I always take on warm weather cruises. It looks fine with all my summer clothes, and I need it in the main dining rooms, the theaters, etc. almost all the time. I got mine several years ago on Amazon, I think.
