We never go to the production shows. We do karaoke and wouldn't mind a passenger talent show, but no a comedy show.

I'm trying to get our one-way return flight from Seattle and was wondering if a 9:30 am departure is too early? I am Platinum so we can get off the ship early, but am well aware of everything that can go wrong. I hate having to wait until 6 pm to head home. Just wondering about others' experiences.

We're looking for recommendations for a one-night stay in Miami prior to our cruise next April-May. I haven't been to Miami for about 40 years since I always go through Fort Lauderdale. I usually stay at a Holiday Inn Express due to their rewards program and that would be my preference. I'm looking for one with an airport shuttle, restaurant, and bar. Good reviews don't hurt, either. Thanks!

Nothing to do with etiquette. It's basic common sense, which is sadly lacking these days.

They will give you a paper menu, if you ask. Your son is right--Carnival is the best!

You also have access if you are in a Grand Suite.

Of course they are allowed. Your shoulders and knees should be covered, but saw a number of women who didn't do that.

I've dived at Puerto Vallarta for the last 12 years. The last couple of years it got worse and worse, so I will not dive there again.

We got the payments on our credit cards refunded within days. I then went and got us booked on Panorama in May (paid with our 100% FCC), and Miracle in March 2025 for a 15-day Panama Canal cruise. Our refund was applied to that, but we still owe about $4,000. More days, and in a Grand Suite on both cruises.

We were booked on the November 18th cruise, so we get the full refund plus 100 percent FCC. We've already rebooked the Panorama for next April (same cruise minus La Paz) and a Panama Canal cruise in March 2025. We kept the Grand Suite for both cruises since the cost is pretty much covered. We were supposed to get the credit today, but nothing yet. We were driving to Long Beach so no airline refund difficulties.

Yes, it has.

Those have not been offered on this cruise.

Let me rephrase. There are NO fun activities on Viking. Boring......

We were in Pisa on Thursday, better weather. No interest in going inside either building since this was my third time here. I've even climbed the bell tower in the past. I never use the showers in the changing room, prefer my own room. In fact, I never have a need to use the changing room. But, there should be supplies there for the guests who want to use them. I prefer my own products. This is my first time on Viking. We have another one next year on the southern Nile. I'd rather be on Carnival where there are so many more fun activities. I would kill for some karaoke!
