Siammau Posted January 17, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Hoping to get other's experience here. We are on our first Viking Ocean cruise in July this year. We have decided to also do pre and post extensions. Having looked at our Viking invoices, they have changed the hotels multiple times. As we are traveling from Australia to Europe for this, I wanted to book the pre hotel for a few extra days. As they keep changing the hotel, what have been your experiences with hotel confirmation? Is it days/weeks/months before the cruise? Our local Viking office cannot tell me anything other than you will know before the cruise. Thanks , in advance.

On our Viking pre we received final details about hotel and included excursion about a month before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JER/MPR Posted January 17, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 17, 2023 We received confirmation 30 days ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haqdeluxe Posted January 17, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 17, 2023 We typically don't see our final documents much earlier than 2 weeks out. As we have now heard through the grapevine that our pre-cruise extension hotel was charged last week, 3 weeks out (01/29), it sadly reaffirms that you can't be sure until you get your final documents. I suspect this problem is just another to add to the pile of things that are now suffering post covid. Sad! 😔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siammau Posted January 17, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Thank you all for sharing your experiences. I'm now convinced the local office is correct in that they don't really know for sure, and we won't get alot of time for planning.
