Traveller94 Posted September 30, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 30, 2014 We had been thinking about our first river cruise, possibly the Rhine Getaway on Viking, but just weren't sure. After the wonderful reviews from Cruisinskier and Mimmy52 all our questions and concerns were answered and we are ready to book. I want to say a big thank you to Cruisinskier and Mimmy52! Also thanks to everyone who reviews. They are such a huge help and a lot of fun too! Soon to be a Viking river cruiser, Stacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveller94 Posted September 30, 2014 Author #2 Share Posted September 30, 2014 OK, I guess I didn't have all my questions answered.:D I am getting ready to book, and learned about the referral program. Does cruise critic allow you to ask about referrals? Anything else I should know before booking? It looks like there is a sale that ends today, so I'd like to book today, if possible. Thanks again!

H2Otstr Posted September 30, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Be sure to check around with a couple travel agencies for pricing and you should get a sizeable discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ukalady Posted October 5, 2014 #9 Share Posted October 5, 2014 If you're still looking for info that a river cruise "newbie" might wonder about, I have about 50 posts tackling everything from traveling there, specific ports, food onboard Viking, footwear (yes, everyone kept asking me what people wore!), stateroom tips, suggested packing lists and more. I've even heard from a couple travel agencies that they're reading the blog (which is continuing even though I've returned) and it gives them help in answering folks' questions.

Traveller94 Posted October 7, 2014 Author #13 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Thanks, mimmy52! If I do it will be in part because of you! I really can't thank all of you who have done such wonderful reviews enough! Wapavo, that's a great air price! Our agent advised us against Viking air since we are visiting family in the UK first. Wish we could have taken advantage of something like that, though. Ukalady, I spent all Sunday afternoon reading your blog. It was such fun. I have also travelled with my mother, who is also one of those people that everyone gets to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
