Yes. Several older threads addressing this. They will exchange coffee making equipment for a kettle on request. 

Thanks for this!

Surprised this thread still going....lol.......I may even try to bring on a six pack of beer in my carry on....wife likes wine....I like the beer....Heineken of course on this cruise...........this is all moot for us anyways as this is the first cruise we have done the "all in package".....but apparently to have a drink in your room I have to run to the bar and then carry back???....and If wife wants a glass of wine what about getting two drinks ....will they allow that???

I find the Galveston hotels to be expensive. I like to stay in Webster which is 30 minutes away from the port. I usually get something decent there for under $100. I've been parking at Discount Cruise Parking. I pay about $90 for the week there which is the cheapest parking I've found there post-covid. Here is a comparison of all Galveston parking lots I did a few months back.

Never tried it.  Since it was simple to do as I did, I guess I didn't think of it.  

 

The flavors they have set out really are good.  🙂 

Thanks

There is a small retractable roof but unless you are sailing in the tropics I doubt it is ever open. Calling it a “pool” is generous, the one in the spa is much larger. It connects to the outside where there are hot and cold plunge pools on either side. I never saw anyone using it. It’s more of a stairway to the outside.

 

 

Awesome pictures.  Thanks!

All of the glass on the sides of the terrace are actually doors that can be opened. I suppose they can be left open or maybe they are on a track to allow the entire terrace to be open. 
 

In any case enjoy your trip. The ship is beautiful.
 

BTW the theater has a state of the art million $ 3D projection system, the best I’ve ever experienced. Be sure to go to any 3D movie presentation. It’s pretty phenomenal.

Thanks for the great info

Been on the Viking Bridge tour on BOTH Ocean & River.  Loved them both!

I simply go to the coffee/tea station and grab two mugs of hot tea...so many flavors!  Bring them and a glass of ice to the cabin.  Combine and enjoy!  😉   The Apple and Cranberry being my favorite.  

Are you able to request a kettle in your cabin for making tea?  Thanks

Cheers

Wow

Where are the May PuPs??

I know this to be true. I booked an Oceania cruise directly with the line in 2020. Since I was booking early, the rep offered me an accessible cabin “because it was bigger.” Since neither my husband nor I are disabled, I declined it because I didn’t want to take it from someone who actually needed it. And was kind of surprised that the offer was made.

Awesome.

Thanks for this review!

If anyone wants to know why Viking does not encourage scooters or wheelchairs, you should realize it is the same reason they make us pay deposits a year ahead in most cases. It's because they can. 

 

When Tor started Viking Cruises, he decided to do a cruise line he would want to take, add all the things he would want and not worry about the things he wouldn't. Then, provide such a great product that loyal customers would put up with a few things being missing. If you want to go on Seabourn, Regent, Oceania or which ever other cruise line because you can take a scooter or get an accessible stateroom lower than a suite or pay a deposit only 3-6 months in advance, Viking is willing to have you do that because they have lots of other people who will take your place. Their ships and riverboats always seem to sail full or they do a last minute sale. Either way, not a lot of empty staterooms around, just a bunch of very loyal cruisers. 

Spot on as usual.  +1
