The numbers are just for relative and subjective location on the ship. All DVs are the same as are all PVs or any other class of stateroom. V and DV are the same room size and layout just slightly different ammenities. Some people like the higher floors as they are closer to the pool, Explorer Lounge, and some people think the view is better (and the higher rooms are away from the life rafts). Some like lower levels for less waviness. Sane with mid ship- less movement. Worth it is subjective- PV has significantly more room and storage but DV is a very nice room. As you go up in category you getting more advanced booking for excursions and dining but many people say they got what they wanted regardless.

In that case I’m not sure what is possible other than Tripmate? When we went on a WC I believe we had to get Tripmate through Viking but not sure if this is still the case or not?

It's difficult to find travel insurance for that long a trip. One option is annual trip insurance.

Good move! Anything can happen in CO!

I’d be nervous with 1 hr but as long as you are going to the cruise embarkation city at least 1 day if not 2-3 days early it probably would be ok to have only the 1 hr connection time.

Yes you are right. I was just referring to tourists less than 90 days.

You do not need any visa if you are a US citizen anywhere in the EU.

The invoice page 2 or 3 should list the itinerary with times and whether tendered or docked.

Yep. There is nothing in Tilbury.

no bird sounds?!? 😞

If you have points you can use you may want to do that. Otherwise look at the prices online and compare and see what makes sense to you. I would definitely add Viking Air Plus so you can pick your flights - it is now $150 pp additional. Prices right now for this fall (I know you said 2025) are around $1000 RT for economy and $2500 for Premium Economy so it looks like a good deal in premium economy.

Love the asparagus!

We really liked a company called Bora Bora H2O.

We loved ours on Viking!

If you stick yo one alliance, like Star Alliance (United, Lufthansa) you MAY be able to check the bags all the way through.

I’d say 2-3 hrs. Especially if checking bags as you will have to retrieve them in Munich.

Pulpit Rock cruise.

It differs depending on airline but I think it is worth it if you can get the 2 seat side. To me that is the big advantage as you don't have a stranger sitting next to you. A lot of posters have said that they won't pay more than $50 per hr more than economy. This would be an additional $850 on a 17 hr flight.

I purchase as far out as possible. Typically 330 to 355 days out depending on airline's policy.

We are going to Japan on Eva and coming back on Singapore in the fall.

You could also look at Singapore (NRT-LAX) and EVA Air (NRT-TPE-SFO).

You are not supposed to drink half a bottle a day....or are you :)??? Ha ha

Have never had a problem getting it but not at all bars.

Seems like your TA could ask them the hypothetical easier than you could.
