@vicd1969, that is correct. You just can't use gift cards to prepay gratuities.

I've always thought Viking's ads give people the impression that the entire cruise consists of scenic cruising. Just sit back and take in the sights.

Yes you can. You can't use gift cards for transfers and gratuities. Also, you can't split payments. For example, gift cards and a credit card.

@Navybikermom, I enjoyed your review.

I am unable to open the files once I download them. Is anyone else having a problem?

I was able to download and open the files on my Samsung tablet.

I took a 31-day South American cruise on HAL, and the cruise was definitely about the ports. I don't think you can generalize that ocean cruises are all about the ship.

I tried looking for an answer on ACL's website, and it just mentions wheelchairs and walking aids. Have you tried contacting ACL directly?
-
That's good to know.

If there are problems once onboard, the Neptune Suite concierge should be able to help.

What about the Dutch and Belgian waterways?

I didn't realize Emerald is a budget cruise line.

@sjde, have you checked out the "stickies" at the top of this page? Lots of good information about the different river cruise lines, including comparisons.

There is a huge difference.

Are you referring to the daily program? I'm not familiar with an entertainment guide.

@HSBC, I've never brought insect repellent with me to Europe. There just aren't the insects we have in the US. Part of that is there just isn't the humidity, making summer a different experience.

On one of my cruises I was singing along to "Wagon Wheel" in Billboard, and another cruiser asked me how I knew it. He had never heard it, and was unfamiliar with Bob Dylan, Ketch Secor, Darius Rucker, or Old Crow Medicine Show.
Obviously a culturally deprived person. 😉

I think Tauck and Uniworld are close to each other, with Viking being the outlier. Don't base your decision on price alone.

Tips cover more than food service. That said, even in the buffet, you're being served.

@kazu, I had to cancel Noordam - 04-Jan-25 - 28 day Coral Triangle, Volcanoes & Great Barrier Reef 😪
Please add me to Eurodam - 08-Jan-25 - 21 day Western Explorer/Eastern Caribbean Wayfarer
Thanks!

A lot of people don't realize there are river cruise lines beyond Viking. They look at Viking's onerous solo pricing and conclude river cruising isn't for them. I've had good solo pricing on both Tauck and Uniworld.

Last year I did Buenos Aires to Ft. Lauderdale. My favorite ports were Port Stanley and Ushuaia. It was 31 days.

What did you think of the itinerary?
-
Yes, it has to do with the staff having to schlep the bags on and off the ship.

Just to add a little additional info to the menus that were posted, Planks and Steamers are open on alternate nights, dinner only, and reservations are highly recommended but cannot be made in advance of the cruise (call the dining line or find someone at the host stand at the restaurant).
Vines is a charcuterie board (no reservations) but a very plentiful one, plenty of food to call it a meal for 2 people.
Newb to Princess and sailing on the Caribbean Princess, so this thread is helpful. Can I make reservations for Planks or Steamers using the app?
Sailing solo with HAL prices?

@FOPMan, I want that deal! I've always paid some kind of single supplement.
@westerdam, lately I've been paying 179-200%, depending on the cruise. There's no standard single supplement on HAL.
