Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Other than being introduced at the Captain's cocktail, we never saw Taylan again (Jan 13 departure).
  2. Huh?? I certainly can understand a personal supplement to the daily hotel charge gratuity fee, but an additional $140 each?
  3. I haven't brought a suit on a cruise now for several years. My last suited experience was on Princess when, on formal night, our formally dressed selves were seated for dinner in the MDR next to a dude in a T-shirt, shorts and flip flops. That was my never again moment. Hope I'm not shamed out of the YC in khakis and a collared shirt when we sail Seascape in January.
  4. Thanks for the comments. Well, I went ahead and did it. We are booked for the March 27, 2024 TA, San Juan to Barcelona on the Viking Sea.
  5. Several hundred dollars in discretionary tips after mandatory gratuities? Seems way over the top especially when MSC's guidelines say don't do it.
  6. I'm considering a Ft Lauderdale to Barcelona trip next Spring. Viking has both Star and Mars scheduled. We have sailed the Viking Mississippi and really like the product. My concerns are two. The Viking itineraries include only two port stops over thirteen days. My other TA experience included six stops. Also, given the relatively small size of the ships, entertainment is of much smaller scale. I'd really like to experience the food and service of Viking again, but, will we be bored?
  7. UPDATE: I received confirmation of the OBC from HAL late yesterday. So, it was a total of nine days from fax submission until I got the credit.
  8. I faxed in my request to HAL yesterday for shareholder OBC to be applied to my July cruise. Can someone tell me when and how my request will it be acknowledged? Thanks.
