Got some good news for those of us flying home on August 31 and for those arriving to Iceland on the 31st.  Received a text from Iceland Air saying the potential strike by the Air Controllers has been settled and our flight will go as scheduled.  

...and here is the link. see update 1

We requested and received two tubes the morning of departure.  Left our samples with them as we disembarked and they emailed our results within 24 hours.

May I ask, who did you ask for the additional tubes? The stuard? The guest service desk? Somebody else?

Thanks!

Viking does not normally do a test the day you disembark. The last sample is collected the day you are visiting Haimaey. So it will be valid for that day plus two. As an example, disembark Saturday and fly on Monday for the three days and travel day.

Do you think they will if asked?

Thanks for your reply

We're staying 3 more days, so , the last morning results would really help us! Whom and when should we ask for the "last day results" to be emailed us and to get extra spitting tube?

Hello

I was not able to find many review of such cruise, so if someone done it before, please share.

Here is few specific questions: what to pack?- (we'll be also in Machu-Pichu)

Are yellow fever vaccination really necessary? Are taking medicine against Malaria is also a must?

How is the life and amenities on the ship (mv Zafiro)?

Thanks!

PS if somebody prefer to write to me directly,- my email address: mark4k@aol.com

Really good tour company. The plan the tour so that you are not at the major sites at the same time as the bus tours. Best shopping was at the falls and we actually found that the shopping here was better than Bangkok, or I should say the shopaholics found the shopping better here.:D

Well, maybe they're good company, but I've asked them few questions about 4 days ago and so far no answer. I've found different company (probably even cheater), that answered to me immediately. And tour for 2 people will cost 1500 bth a person (not including lunch, which the guy has said will be about $10)

When are traveling? (if you're on Princess Sappire, 12/01 you can get in touch with me- I'm trying to organize few private tours in different ports- mark4k@aol.com)

I got in touch with bangkokasiatravel.com (they have tour to Pattya) and so far have difficulties to open their suggested itinerary/prices, but they responded very quickly. I think they offer the same itinerary to everyone, so if you lucky enough to open their attachment, please resend it to me.

Thanks!

Hello!

We're coming on Aug 27 (Tue) and it seems that there is no walking tours available for that day of the week (there tours on Saturday, Sunday or Wednesday) and besides HOHO bus (which we dislike) there is only one company that provides daily bus tours ("Expert").

I've contacted tourist info, but nothing more came out of this. So, my question is do you aware of any other company/ies that provide group tour and do you think walking or bus- what would be preferable?

Thanks!
