  1. With 12-15 couples, I would definitely use the services of a TA that specializes in river cruises, and let them negotiate a deal for your group and handle all the bookings.
  2. I enjoyed reading your review. Glad your return to cruising was a success.
  3. More seating in the Lido and/or more 2-top tables for solos and couples. More specialty cafes such as the Dutch Cafe that are included in the fare. Full promenade deck.
  4. Where is the train station and how do you get to it from Seatac? How much does it cost and where does it drop you off in Vancouver?
  5. I used to use Quick Shuttle, but their current schedule gets you to Canada Place at 2:30 and all aboard is 3:00. Don't know why they don't adjust their schedule for cruise passengers.
  6. I'm flying into Seattle and taking the HAL transfer.
  7. I sailed Tauck last year, and they asked that each passenger only bring one suitcase to minimize the staff's workload. I was on an 8-day cruise and was able to pack enough in one suitcase and a carryon to get me through without having to send out laundry. We often got back late from tours, and I sometimes wore the same top to dinner and exchanged my leggings for a pair of pants.
  8. Those prices are very reasonable when you compare them to what couples are spending for weddings on land.
  9. Which means they use their customers' money instead of taking out bank loans.
  10. Sorry I missed that. In post #2 they say Celebrity. I think the OP is confused.
  11. I went as an adult and thought it was fun.
  12. My personal opinion is that Viking uses their customers as their bank. I doubt they keep the advance payments in a non interest bearing account.
  13. Hard to do when you're by yourself. On one of my solo cruises, I ended up sitting out at a table by the Lido pool. Sometimes too hot or too cold, and especially in the morning, there aren't always waiters circulating around with coffee and water refills. Can be a long walk if you need to grab something from the buffet, and then come back to cold food.
  14. I've had this problem on Holland America. People "park" themselves at a table, especially families and groups sailing together. They chit-chat, play cards and board games, etc. I usually sail solo, and I sometimes get the stink eye when I ask to share a table.
  15. As a paying customer I refuse to accept this.
  16. I happen to like Uniworld's decor, but on my first river cruise I joked that it looked like Marie Antoinette exploded in my cabin.
  17. Coffee and tea, and the hot water needed to make tea, are available 24 hrs a day in the Lido.
  18. I take it you've been in a French bordello.
  19. Have you considered a European river cruise?
  20. Sorry about your bad experience. Accusing new customers of fraud is serious and not a way to garner loyalty. The solution, which you've already arrived at, is to not book with Viking in the future.
