We are on the Barcelona to Buenos Aires repositioning cruise (Jupiter) and are doing daily testing. We were not allowed to get off at Casa Blanca because covid rates were greater than 1%. Senegal had already been scraped so no Africa. We did go to Mediera and Cape Verde Islands instead. Hopefully South America will let us stop.

Or use another chair for your feet.

I asked Viking if they'd have Paxlovid onboard and this was their response, "We do not treat Covid on board the ship. If the guest requires a specific medication for Covid, they will be treated at a shoreside medical facility." We're on a repositioning cruise with five days at sea crossing the Atlantic--won't help any one sick at that time.

DH and I were able to do it prior to trying to book excursions. As long as you know it might not work if both are on at the same time, you know what to do.

I guess you have to be fast. I just typed up something and went back to it and had the edit option. Thanks for your response.

I ended up closing everything down and starting over and got in. I can see you "edited" your comment. Can you please tell me how you edit in this forum? I can't find edit or delete and would really like to know how to do that 😉

That's what I ended up doing and I was then able to finally get in. So I am assuming that the whole thing was caused by having the other account opened? But we didn't open the DH account until after I tried opening mine. Oh well. It's good to know for next week when we can do dining to only open one. Thanks.

It's now 5:15 p.m. and I still can't get into my account and I logged out of my DH's account at least two hours ago.

First time Viking cruise. I've read everything I can on this site that I can. Today was our "67-days-out" day to sign up for shore excursions starting at 3 p.m. ET. At 2:45 I went to get ready to do all the things I've read on this forum to get the excursions you want. And I got the "Your booking is currently locked for updates. Please try again later" message!!! I thought surely it would let me in by 3 p.m. NOPE!! I also had a credit card on file so that info didn't have to be re-entered. We already had my DH's computer ready to go--he was going to reserve one optional excursion while I reserved the other. He and his computer are not really savvy, but he could get in and slowly work through what we wanted for optional excursions. And apparently the credit card is only good for onboard purchases--had to enter cc info for both bookings. Once we had those I went through the included tours and reserved the ones we wanted, reserving for both of us. I then went through the excursion page and verified that we had what we wanted. And then I went through the calendar. And on the calendar, it was only showing the reservations on the included excursions for him, even though I had clicked reserve on both names. So back to the beginning and again did the reservations for me. And then back again to check the calendar and see that we both had reservations. It is now 3:45 ET and I am still not able to get into our account on my computer. As soon as I can, I will be emailing Viking and letting them know I am not happy. But be prepared with two computers and two accounts when your time draws near.

For those of you that have done the November Southern Atlantic Crossing, what was the weather like? I know weather changes, but an idea of what it was like for your trip would help. I've looked at the average temperatures and weather in all the ports, but would just like a "human" summary if possible and an idea on what kind of weather to pack for. Thank you so much!

Wow, just read this thread. We're doing this cruise in November, 2022. Don't know if anyone will see this almost a year later. If so, what was the weather like?

So it is coming out of the TA's commission from Viking.

Haven't cruised in a few years and deciding to do one soon. I always did everything myself after much reading. Read for hours this weekend on CC and read about the OBC for using a TA. I should have saved the information but didn't. I contacted a TA and she didn't know of any OBC and contacted Viking and they said they didn't offer any What I read was $500/person for a cruise over 15 days. Was what I read very old and no longer in effect. Can someone please clarify for me. TY.
