New to Viking and this group. We are regular Sandals Resorts visitors so I'm more familiar with how they do things, but I need to learn.
We were married on an RCCL ship many many years ago and have done a few other cruises in the intervening years. As you can see, I joined here a dozen or so years ago for different cruises
So, we are looking at the Mediterranean Odyssey in 2027 (2025 and 2026 are already filled in our travel schedule with other trips) with a friend or two/three (one will be a single) so I have a few questions -
When does Viking release the new dates? I know Sandals releases a new year in the July/September time frame. When might Viking release 2027?
Does Viking raise prices as the cabins sell? Does booking early save you money?
We are looking at an ES suite, but the person we will be traveling with will be a single in a basic V. Reading through posts it appears when it comes time for us to book specialty dining we can add them as a +1 to the reservation in our ES cabin, but is there anything similar with tours?
Am I correct I need to make a $500 deposit at booking? Is that per cabin or per person? For the single is that $500 or $1,000? As we are new to Viking it appears final payment for us is 12 months, correct?
I keep seeing alcohol in the room is replenished daily. We plan on the Silver Spirits beverage package (remember, we are Sandals regulars where the alcohol isn't a big deal), but can we get regular bottles of wine in the room or is everything minatures? I guess I'm just confused on how booze works on Viking Ocean.
I'm sure I will have a bunch more questions as I move forward. I tried this in another Viking group but dropped out after a bunch of search the group (Facebook search is the pits) and call Viking posts. I'm here to learn.....
