Petra looks amazing.

 

Curious - was your Luxor tour the included Viking tour?

No, it was a Viking optional excursion.

We wanted the addition of the Luxor museum and temple

A question for those pax aboard the Neptune, as I am frequently reading of complaints with challenges using the wi-fi. I have also noted many, many photos being posted from the ship, both on the multiple blogs and the multiple FB groups DW reads.

 

To those posting photos, are you posting photos straight from your phone/camera, or are you compressing. The photos from my cameras are 30-40 megs, but before posting to the blog, I convert them to jpg, shrink them to 1024 pixels on the longest side and compress them to about 300K for uploading.

 

On the couple of times I forgot to compress a photo, it wouldn't upload.

 

Are you posting photos straight from the camera, or shrinking and compressing them in post processing? If posting straight from the camera, what is the average size of the photos being uploaded.

while the internet is not great, it is the best I have ever had at sea. With a bit of patience I have been able to do all I need.

I do convert images to lower quality jpegs, about 100k each, before I upload. My experience trying full size images has been the same as you mentioned, they fail to upload

I'm not able to access the link - I think this may have happened once before and it was readily corrected by the author (not sure if it was yours!).  I'd love to read it though!

Every once in a while Wordpress gets messed up. the site is up again now.
