Hope it isn't foggy 😃

We are just half an hour away from Heathrow, are about to embark on our 8th Viking cruise and have nearly always had direct flights with BA. In fact, for this latest cruise which starts in Barcelona the Viking rep first suggested flights from and to Gatwick but readily agreed to change them to from and to Heathrow at our request.

On a 2022 Into the Midnight Sun voyage we were upgraded from a DV2 on deck 6 to a PV1 on the same deck. We liked the PV1 so much that we booked the exact same cabin for our 2023 trip from New York to Montreal. About a week before leaving on that trip we were upgraded to a PS 1 on deck 8. If we liked the PV1 we loved the PS1 and especially its position on deck 8 with the so called secret door into the upper Explorer's Lounge except when we had 3 days -and nights!- of fog with the fog horn blowing all the time.😀 On both occasions we tried to find out why we had been so lucky to no avail.The only answer we got was that it was for operational reasons. In 5 weeks we are off on the Trade Routes of the Middle Ages in our favourite PV1. I guess there's no chance of "3rd time lucky"! 😀

Yes in a PV you will get a bottle of champagne in the fridge upon arrival It is not replenished ☹️

I agree with Clay. We were in 6005 on one of our trips. Beyond 6001 there is a crew only door and on the other side is the Captain's cabin right next to the bridge.
