Poor attempt at a bit of humour (playing on a quote from Hamlet) at asking if you were successful in obtaining a magnifying mirror on board (if required or asked for). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah ok, soz. I was scratching my head trying to work out now what was wrong with the pdf daily vikings I'd posted! lol in the end she packed a small mirror which she took in her case. I'd completely forgotten about the mirror! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much for the dailies - I'm on the Sea at the end of November (TA), so they offered me a bit of a preview for what we might expect on our many sea days. A couple of questions for you - Did passengers need reservations to use the gym? Was it difficult to get reservations for the spa (hot/cold pools)? Were you able to explore ports on your own?

They post on the other site: their meal in Chef Table and then movie on pool deck under the stars, relaxing in the lounge chairs and watching movie with wait service. Does not get any better than that for a relaxing evening. Cannot wait till we are on the ship next week. Awesome...wish we were going back for 21 more days!!! Memories!!!! Have fun everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gym reservations easily secured but some just walked in and used the gym with nobody there I got a couple hot/cold spa pool reservations, no problem whatsoever Only Malta allowed full self exploration EXCEPT that on Santorini our guide allowed 20 minutes exploration or shopping and at end of Oia tour and on Crete we were let loose on port for ~20 minutes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gym was hardly used and don't think bookings was needed. Spa did need bookings but was always very easy. They placed number limitations on the number of people in each pool or room. We always got a time we chose on the day, so again, it wasn't over subscribed. That included the second sea day, but suspect a TA will be booked more. In Croatia and Malta, we could tour on our own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Azulann Posted October 9, 2021 #1460 Share Posted October 9, 2021 The last charter flight on LF from Newark to Malta leaves on Monday evening. Got a nice email from Viking with an emergency number to use if we have any problems with traveling for this cruise. Nice touch. On the last Welcome back cruise from home port of Malta. We end in Barcelona. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, we better end in Barcelona. We are staying an extra day at a great boutique hotel . I will be doing a live trip report starting this weekend, so stay tuned. If your rumors are form that social media site, I would ignore it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
