There are so many warnings about scammers and pickpocket artists in many of the larger tourist towns. So, Men, do you still just use your wallet kept in a pants pocket or something hidden under a shirt? Silly question, but what do most of you use? My husband scoffed at me for suggesting something other than his usual wallet.

We were on an excursion last summer and were warned about pickpockets. A man on our tour had his wallet taken from his front pants pocket in a crowd.

We are thinking about booking a SE Asia cruise for this fall on the Viking Orion. Last several cruises have been on Celebrity, but we are getting bored of their identical ships and the itinerary on the Viking cruise is very interesting. Questions are:

 

• The cost will be over double any other cruise we have been on, is Viking really worth double the cost (per day) of a Celebrity cruise?
  
• How are the included excursions? How early do the excursions start (we don't like to get up super early while on vacation).
  
• What sort of price range are the non included excursions ? Are they overpriced like on other cruise lines?
  
• Are there typically shuttles in each port (if needed)
  

Thanks!

We went a Viking Ocean cruise through the Baltic last summer for 15 days. We loved the ship, the food and our room. However, the included excursions were very basic. Either a walking or bus tour through a small part of the older port of town. Why pay so much more for junky, crowded tours? Don't think we'll do this again.
