Yes, I am using an iPad. I’m embarrassed to say I don’t know how to “clear my cookies.” Can anyone help?

For at least a week, I’ve been trying to log on to Celebrity’s site. I keep getting BAD REQUEST 400 (or something similar). I am able to log in to the app but there doesn’t seem like there’s a way to access luggage tags from the app. Any thoughts? thanks.

So what’s your secret? I’m E+ and have never had wine gifted to me by X.

OP here…my error. I meant VO not V in my post. Sorry for any confusion. I really appreciate all of your comments.

Hello all, we will be on our first Viking cruise in March. We know policies change frequently, so we’d like first hand info from someone currently or very recently onboard. Are there any advantages to waiting until we’re onboard in March to book a 2025 cruise? Of particular interest is the final payment date. V wants 14 months in advance if we book now. We’d like a shorter date. Any other perks like OBC, etc. to booking onboard? Thanks for your help!

If you are able to walk your bags off yourself, you’ll be among the first off the ship. It should be no problem getting a quick shuttle to FLL.

That is REALLY irritating. You buy the premium drinks thinking you’re covered, then they nickel and dime you. I hope they don’t do this with martini and WCB cocktails.

We had a lovely dinner in Eden. We had purchased dining/tip online prior to the cruise. The next day we had a $96 and a $10 charge, both marked Eden, listed on our account. When I called to question these charges, they said we had the “tasting” menu ($96 extra) and the $10 was “extra gratuity” that we had authorized. I informed him that we did not have the tasting menu, nor did we authorize an extra tip. He apologized and removed the charges. Honest mistake? Hmm. Just a heads up to watch charges. We could have easily overlooked these.

Interesting. I just disembarked Beyond 12/1 and was not charged extra (we had premium pkg). We drank many glasses of Decoy.

Why?

How does one find out when/if a group is to be onboard?

We just disembarked from 9 days on Beyond. Room was 6152. No odor and no noise. Maybe we were just lucky.

Hi just wondering if this changed? Also, any great Black Friday deals if booking onboard. we board Beyond Wednesday. Thanks!

My thanks to all of you for your suggestions. I tried the above first and it worked!

Is anyone else getting this error message when attempting sign in on X site? I’ve been getting this on my iPad for about a week. Oddly enough, it will allow new cruise search—just not my account. I’ve tried rebooting my iPad. i can use the app but not get all info I want.

I did a B2B in January. At that time, we enjoyed all four. Going again next month and hoping it’s just as good.

OP here. Thank you all for your comments. I learned a lot from your experiences and plan to book ourselves going forward.

Thank you! I’ll give it a try.

Thanks for your replies. I guess I bought into “special Viking contracted rates.” The Viking rep indicated that Viking didn’t contract for ANY business seats on these flights, though. It’s not that they’re gone.

Thanks for your response. I didn’t intend to belabor the transfer issue, which is annoying but ancillary. My main concern is why can’t we get Business Class seats through Viking? We were led to believe we had this choice so long as seats are available and they are.

First time on Viking….we booked a cruise for March 2024 and just received our air itinerary. I called today to upgrade to Business class. The very pleasant Viking rep informed me that, despite the fact that Air Canada still has business class seats available on our flights, Viking isn’t offering them! I would need to book air independently (to include loss of ground transportation.) This came as quite a shock to us. The Viking rep apologized and said this is very unusual but Viking offers no upgrades on these particular flights (Rome to Orlando). She also indicated that Air Canada has the right to assign us seats and doesn’t need to abide by our seat selections. Has anyone experienced this? Do we have any recourse other than booking independently? We purchased the Viking post package in Rome so don’t see this as a good option.

Thank you, bikerunner. Good to hear. I was referring to the new description online.

The classic package description doesn’t include coffees or teas period. It must be an error.

Can you please explain what the benefits are? I’m a first time VO cruiser and for other lines, always use a big box TA. Since they don’t book VO, I’m using a small independent TA. She hasn’t mentioned any “benefits.” Thanks!

Thank you. Sorry, I should have searched first.
