Thanks so very much for all of these suggestions. @Mich3554 is the Petit Palace you referred to the “Boqueria Garden” or “Museo”. Thanks again to you all. I will probably have more questions about all of these places.

Yes, it was.

We are booked for Viking Mediterranean Odyssey and Empires of the Mediterranean B2B. I have researched the CC port forum and garnered some information, but I would also like Info from Viking cruisers. We will be in Madrid 3 nights and Barcelona 2 nights before we board and stay another night in Barcelona on Viking Sea. At the moment we are looking at Iberostar in both cities. In Madrid we want to stay close to Plaza Mayor. In Barcelona we want to stay near Plaça de Catalunya, perhaps down toward the Cathedral and the Gothic Quarter. Can anyone who has recently been to either of these cities recommend a place to stay. Thanks much.

I have noticed over the past couple of months that posts, and also whole topics, have been removed without explanation. Maybe they should put a few informed forum contributors on the “Board of Deletion Decisions”. It seems rather unfair that the contributors don’t have a say in what gets deleted, as some of the info can be very informative and helpful to others. Even Trip Advisor isn’t that harsh —. and for saying that, this post will probably be deleted. But at least TA doesn’t delete whole topics. They close topics for unacceptable content, which is fair, but they don’t delete a post without explanation.

A few years ago our agent was on vacation when we wanted to change something. We called Viking and they did what we asked and confirmed the change in an email to the TA..

That would be Truro, Nova Scotia. 😊

When we returned from our cruise last month, we deleted all of our information on Verify and closed the account -- of course, it's probably still out there somewhere. 🙄

And we are booked for the Hong Kong to Vancouver part in spring 2024. 🙂

I have searched the forum and have found minimal information on forwarding luggage. We are considering using this service for a Viking cruise out of Barcelona and I am cringing at the thought of sending my luggage unlocked. Anyone with thoughts and/or experience with this?
