  1. You don't do customs until you get to US. When we were stranded in Bergen/Oslo we went SAS codeshare Oslo to AMS and then AMS to ORD on United. The planets two worst airports in one day!.
  2. I know ----- let's have a hair splitting contest!
  3. This is probably where some sort of "30 minute" rule would pertain. Clearly one should be able to leave a chair for a moment or two. It's the "save a chair for later" types that earn the rancor.
  4. Come right back? Give us a break. To answer your question ----- yes.
  5. Just fine. Anyone who leaves a chair unattended for that length of time knows what they are.
  6. If a chair I wanted to sit in went unattended for 30 minutes I would have no problem unreserving it. Rudeness to rude people is not rude.
  7. "Haggis" served at Burns Festival in NYC is not authentic/traditional due to the FDA deeming it "unfit for human consumption."
  8. Pretty hard to find someone working Alaska tourism who is actually from Alaska.
  9. Now, if you were on a ore boat -------------------
  10. I remember the behemoths/hordes descending upon Skagway and wondering how long Alaska was going to be OK with that.
  11. Seems to have worked so far -----------------
  12. I wonder how often the itinerary called for Flam rather than Eidfjord. That's where the "one-off" description might fit. Our Flam RR excursion called for a stop at Voss on the way back with a meal at it's "famous hotel." In reality we stopped at the Stalheim on the way to Flam. Maybe it's a matter of when Viking can get a bloc of tickets on the RR?
  13. Because doing so has worked so well in regard to "gratuities."
  14. Hearing someone singing (and playing) "The Boxer" is why I stuck my head into Torshavn one evening.
  15. "Everything in the design is about passenger enjoyment, not revenue production." Bottom line.
  16. My mom said something like that too ----- but it meant something different 😊.
  17. The steward did not present him/herself and show you around the cabin? I thought that was SOP.
  18. I wonder if your "Full-Day Train to Voss" was a one-off that was slapped together for your cruise. I never heard of it and can find it nowhere. Certainly sounds a bit slip-shod.
  19. We did the Flam RR from Flam up to Myrdal. The bus stopped at the Stalheim on the way to Flam for a very good lunch.
