I have an Otterbox Magsafe hard case that's a little finicky, but it works. I checked the reviews before I bought it. Some are definitely better than others.

Rare Astromaid Posted April 18 #903 Share Posted April 18 Clay, I have seen you playing a game of LRC and needing 3 one dollar bills. There is a whole discussion on Carnival about some one reporting this game being played on a Carnival ship and the participants have fists full of dollars. Illegal on Carnival and security shut them down. Must be that Viking is OK with the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking is way more mature than Carnivorous.🍸 Try and bring a bottle of wine on Carnival and they throw you in the brig.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnivorous might be ok if you played with $4 and gave them one. They need their cut. Actually maybe $5 ;o) 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No issues so far on Viking and in fact Max, our shore excursion manager mentioned in his port talk yesterday about Dakar (where we will be tomorrow) that guests should have dollar bills if they wish to pay for souvenirs and suggested stopping by the pool bar at 3:30 today if anyone need to change larger bills. 😂 Also have never had any issues on NCL where on one TA our pot was typically over $100! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which thankfully don’t exist on Viking. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deec Posted April 18 #909 Share Posted April 18 I did not know MAX ( if he the same Max) was onboard...he was on the Jupiter with us in 2022 when we went from Santiago, Chile. to Buenos Aires to Barcelona to Bergen to Amsterdam ( loved those Covid cancellation and 25%)...he and his team worked miracles as things opened and closed as the world was reopening! You were lucky to have him trying to navigate the mess you all faced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that on the Getaway where we had a conference room booked and played every afternoon? I had so much fun and met so many nice people by playing that game.

Rare Clay Clayton Posted April 19 #913 Share Posted April 19 We are in Gorée Island & Dakar! Much to my surprise given it’s been removed from most (all?) itineraries over the last few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deec Posted April 19 #914 Share Posted April 19 I just saw that more of my favorite Viking folks have joined you on the SKY...Mike and Wendy Seigel. Make sure to attend Mike's lectures...they were always well prepared, delivered and enjoyed! His wife, Wendy, is a delight too. If anyone has the opportunity tell them Dee and Pat Clark from the Jupiter in 2022 send our best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our group was so big we were afraid we’d get shut down for competing with the casino. We did get asked to quiet down by the Mah Jong ladies across the hall in the game room.

Lots of tourists and seemingly an equal number of roving sellers of beads, statues, fabric, etc. My biggest takeaway was the contrast between the island’s colorfulness and the atrocities committed 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Clay Clayton Posted April 20 #922 Share Posted April 20 Amazing breakfast selections aboard Sky this morning. Beautiful and delicious spread of mezze. We didn’t know it was breakfast food but according to our friend Wiki it is! #yummy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Clay Clayton Posted April 20 #923 Share Posted April 20 LCR today at 3:30 at the pool bar. Come see if Linda will make it a four-peat! By my calculations she has won close to a hundred bucks…seems like it’s time for someone else to win. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
