That’s unfortunate. I thought Viking had restrictions on running too early in the morning. We were on a cruise that someone ignored the allowed running times. After several complaints, the PD mentioned the problem at a port talk and said a crew member would be waiting for the person the next morning. Everyone laughed and clapped. No runner after that! LOL
We are considering an Antarctic cruise, too. There is a Cruise Critic Group (Viking Expeditions Thread) that might give you more information. Also, there is a FB group that is very active (Viking Expedition Antarctica Cruises.)
Thank you for the information. That’s truly unfortunate. We booked a 2024 cruise under the $25 pp deposit promotion. We are not sure we are going to go on the trip. We were able to get the final payment pushed to 6 months before sailing since we had another cruise fully paid. If we don’t go, we are only out $50.
@notamermaid Is it correct that Germany will drop face mask requirements for airplanes beginning October 1st? I read an online article but I see nothing on an official German website.
I am also taking the Rhine cruise in October. I did the same cruise 3 years ago, so I would like to skip the morning bus ride to the Black Forest. Any suggestions for getting transport from Breisach to Colmar and back?
I have a cruise scheduled for next month that included free airfare. I decided to book my own upgrade airfare with a large airline credit I needed to use. Viking did not give me any credit for not using their “free” airfare.
I agree. After booking a Viking cruise, mailers and emails stop. I get the business reasons for targeting people who are not booked, but it would be nice to get the same offers as others. Thanks to this group, I can still find deals!
Definitely ask for the delayed final payment. We took advantage of the $25 deposit deal and booked a 2024 ocean cruise. We have a paid in full cruise scheduled for this October. I asked to delay final payment, and they gave me October 1, 2023, which is 6 months before sailing.
I agree, @Sunflower & The Scientist I’ve never understood why the topic of dress code and attire can be so divisive. Simple question, simple answer. No need to be unkind, snarky, etc.
