Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I just randomly went on My Viking Journey, and to my surprise the previously unavailable specialty restaurant options were open for dates and times that work for us, so we booked. We thought we would have to wait until we were onboard, so this was a pleasant surprise. Our cruise leaves in 24 days.
  2. Very interesting. As of now, we are on track to get the vaccine next week at our health dept, with our doctors blessing.
  3. We are on the Panama Canal cruise in December and have gotten confirmation from both our Viking rep and our TA that we must have the YF vaccination to disembark in Honduras after coming from Panama, and Honduras will NOT accept a waiver. So if our physician recommends against the vaccine due to our ages and/or medical issues, we will stay onboard at that port. Spa day?
  4. Thanks for that info. BTW, I have tried to call the Honduran Embassy in DC and several Consulates around the country. The calls do not go through at any of the offices I've tried. I guess we'll have to rely on info from Viking....
  5. Is the waiver a special form or does a letter from your physician suffice? If a form, where does one get this?
  6. We got an email from Viking saying that the Yellow Fever vaccine is required by Honduras if traveling from Panama to Honduras. This is the case for our cruise. So far everything I've read shows that YF is not endemic throughout Panama. I assume that Viking has confirmed the requirement, so plan to get the vaccine unless we learn otherwise.
  7. Thanks for that info. Will check with the airline.
  8. Our flights finally showed up on MVJ - 2 days later than we expected. I was about to call Viking Air Plus, when I checked MVJ and found the info. We were able to make the changes we wanted, so are pleased so far. We also wanted to upgrade, but Viking Air showed no upgrades available on our specific flights. Does anyone know if we can do this through the airline? Plan to give that a try.
  9. Newbie question: This is our first cruise with Viking Ocean. Our cruise in this December. We are supposed to get our itinerary today, but so far there is nothing on MVJ. Once we get the info, if we want to make changes, do we have to use Air Plus to do that? The info on MVJ seems to indicate that we can do it all online there without the extra fee. When we find flights that work for us it sounds like we should get ticketed right away - correct? And what happens if we have to cancel the cruise? Am I correct that any extra fees for flight adjustments (current promo is "free" air) should be covered by our travel insurance? Any other hints would be appreciated. Thanks.
  10. We checked the excursions too, and will follow up with Viking. DH bought a pair of trekking poles at REI today. He thinks they will be very helpful. CCWineLover: We love Paso wines, too! Which of the December cruises will you be on?
  11. Thanks for the detailed info. I do think we will find an appropriate excursion.
  12. This all seems to track with what I was told in the chat with Viking. We certainly don't want to slow others down, so will inquire at the shore excursion desk when we get on board. And we'll check out the hiking poles at our local REI. Any other newbie tips are appreciated!
  13. Just did a chat with Viking. Answer was that arrangements for slower guests are usually made onboard. Since we will be on the Star, I am hoping that CDR2001's experience will hold.
  14. Thanks. Will check with Viking, as there seems to be some difference of opinion on this.
