Thank you Heartgrove, for giving us the sailaway experience! Links and which cams to watch - much appreciated! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartgrove Posted June 27, 2021 #2303 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Future reference for those like me that enjoy watching ships. On July 11, the Viking Sky will be at the Skarfabakki 312 position on the pier, the same as today. The Viking Jupiter will be arriving that morning scheduled for 08:00 to dock at Skarfabakki 315. That is the position just forward of the Viking Sky. Both ships should be visible on the webcam. Once Viking Sky vacates the position 312, the Viking Jupiter will move from position 315 to position 312. Jack July 17-24 cruise 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went to a facility in downtown Reykjavik, and the test was a breeze — no line, in and out, and a negative result for each of us. Now we can fly back to Seattle on Tuesday to endure the worst heat wave in the region’s history. We’ll miss Iceland’s cool temperatures! Thanks for your posts.

Have a save trip back to Seattle. And remember if we are ever on a future cruise together we owe you both a drink (or two) for giving us a preview of some of what we might expect in Iceland in a little over a week from now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with @Dukefan. Only difference is we leave tomorrow and arrive in Iceland on June 29th. Bags are packed and boarding passes printed. We are ready for a very long travel day! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartgrove Posted June 27, 2021 #2307 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Tomorrow Viking Sky will be in Isafjordur. The 1st cruise pier is directly behind the Icelandic Coast Guard ship but the second one is not visible.

Look how the six stripes take up the entire street, from the planter box on the left to the curb on the right. No space to add a seventh stripe. Clay, you should have hired yourself out as the architect! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just in case someone knows the answer to this question here, I'll give it a shot. We recently renewed our U.S. passports. I was wondering if Global Entry and TSA pre-check information electronically transfers to the new passports or if we have to do something to make that happen. Would anybody happen to know? Thanks. When did you mail your passport renewal and how long did it take for you to get your new one? I sent mine in 4/22 and it is still " in process." I'm trying to change it to "expedited" to be able to go on this cruise in August. I called them on Friday at 5 pm with the "call back" option. They called back at 1 am Saturday from an "unknown number" so i didn't pick up. Calling again Monday morning. I have a cabin on 24 hour hold that I will reserve if I can get my renewal expedited. Passport renewals are now apparently taking longer than a couple months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent in early November and received early February. And, as someone else noted, we needed to update Global Entry with the new passport information.

If so how was the temperature on the plane during the flight? We are flying from Seattle on July 19th and am wondering if we can wear some fleece lined pants so we’ll be warm enough when we land at 6:15 am.

Temps on the plane (Icelandair) were very comfortable. Just my opinion, but you’ll be far too warm if you wear fleece lined pants. It was cold outside the airport when we landed, but Reykjavik has warmed up considerably since then. You’ll roast just getting on the plane in Seattle if present temps are any indication! We’ve been following the extreme weather conditions and hoping for a cool down by the time we land Tuesday night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passport renewals are now apparently taking longer than a couple months ago. We are in same boat. Applied for expedited service 5/24. Has been “in process” since 6/1. We have another trip planned next week that may have to be canceled. You might want to contact your US Senator. Have heard that they can help but so far they haven’t been able to speed up our renewal. We also checked out going to a passport office for immediate renewal but unfortunately all appointments are filled and they are only accepting new appointments for life and death emergencies.
