Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. 🍹😁 enjoy your cruise. I’m already sorry that mine past
  2. The best place to see the correct time is next to the door when you are leaving ship and right before Viking tent on the ground. The letters and numbers are very large.
  3. SantaFe, I also planned my bday in Manfredis but had to cancel. We decided to check it first and it was great. We had seafood dinner. Next time we tried meat. That was disastrous. The “Prime” ribeye wasn’t even ribeye at all. I know the cut! Yes, very thin and extremely chewy. Then came a manager and tried to fix this, so he brought a bit thicker piece but you have to put you strength through cutting. Then Chef came in but we had a language problem looking at the 3rd steak. We left. There was veal on board at both Restaurant and WC. The veal in Restaurant was to die for and their Ribeye was perfect cooked to my liking rare to medium rare (my DH had medium and also great) Our observation: the food on this cruise was MUCH better than our previous 5 cruises with Viking…, except of Manfredis. note: we were on Star Nov. 10- Dec. 12
  4. Oh, forgot to mention. The price of a drink includes 15% gratitudes
  5. 1. It is $25 per day per person (both people in the cabin have to have Silver package) AND drinks up to $18 except for champagne). Some times house wine is not very good (personal opinion) if you are a wine drinker. Also it’s nice to order a drink without thinking if it’s included or not. People are different and you need to decide what you want and Viking gives you a choice. I wouldn’t call this “nickel and diming”. It’s a choice - you choose to have wine and beer at the lunch and dinner; any coffee drink through the day; you can bring your own booze on the ship AND to the dining place with no cork fee; you could buy drink by glass that is outside included drinks OR you could buy Silver Package and don’t think what you ordered. A lot of choices and Choice IS Yours. 😁

    STEP?

    No, you remember right. They need to know where you are in case of emergency. unfortunately, we all could see what could happened anywhere now…🙁
  7. Our airports are Washington Dulles and Reagan National itineraries are below in the signature box
  8. We returned from our last cruise in January 2020 and didn’t fly since then. All our international business class with Viking was business on all legs - domestic and international.
  9. Enjoy! Will be happy to answer any questions why you missing Hilo? It is on our itinerary
  10. I just noticed that you are going on Star to Hawaii. We are leaving to Hawaii and Polynesia in three weeks 😁 on Star as well.
  11. Thank you SantaFe1! You probably remember my previous stories. 😊

    STEP?

    We have registered with STEP for at least 20 years. There were times when we would get alerting emails do not go to a particular part of the city with detailed map or do not go anywhere and stay at the hotel/house. It gives you peace of mind that people know where you are and could alert you and your family. It is crazy World right now 😒
  13. Sorry this is incorrect. We bought Viking Air Plus and are flying business in 3 weeks to Los Angeles and back USA portion. Had preferred flights, times and seats. The price was good as well.
  14. This year (booked on 10/11/23) I had the best experience ever with Viking Air Plus! Honestly, I had to prepare myself before the call. Oh my was I wrong. Scarlet was so friendly and efficient. She asked me what flights, time, airline, class I want..then I was on hold for.. 5 min!😱 I didn’t have my preferred airline because we booked to close to the cruise (25 days). We got class, time, and seats we preferred. There were a few min she needed to talk to her supervisor and the result was in our favor. Scarlet gave us the best service we ever had with Viking Air Plus. I would highly recommend this lady!
