  1. We would like to hire a guide/driver for the day in Edinburgh. I appreciate the info on doing it ourselves but with a group we want a guide
  2. Our group of 10 is looking for a guide/driver to tour Britiana and the Castle and tour of old town area if time permits. May 11 thought we had it figured out but the company has not responded in over a week. Suggestions? we will be using New Haven harbor and it seems to be a tender port.
  3. We will be boarding a Viking ship in Greenwich and want to get to the Tower of London for the “ceremony of the keys”. It looks like there is an easy stop called Tower of London Has any walked from that dock? Was this easy to do or should we just take a a cab?
  4. I remember that hot day ! If I ever get back will do the snorkel that folks enjoyed and they got to see the dragons without the hike in the suffocating heat. I think we had two people collapse!
  5. Anyone done the island nature walk from the Shetlands? How demanding is the hike?
  6. The noise from the anchor is your alarm clock if any of your ports are tendering. You will hear the theater but it does not run late. Some practices can also be heard during the day. Never heard the cinema movies. As I remember the balcony was the same as other v staterooms. Pretty bouncy when we crossed Bay of Biscay.
  7. perfect photo...worth 1000 words!
  8. there is a wooden railing on top of the glass
  9. Jim, I wonder why it feels more crowded. Do you think the awe and splendor has worn off for you? Hope Viking's revised itinerary is an exciting one. Have fun....
  10. More than a "liitle" particular but the information has always been great! It was an awesome trip.. we also really enjoyed the Iguasu Falls if that is an option for you.
  11. we were in the lowest category ( 2037) and had plenty of room for storage. My husband is tall enough to use the top shelf. You will have more drawers. All cabins are convenient for moving about the ship. We liked being low and mid ship better for the Drake Shake! We felt that these staterooms were a bit bigger than Ocean Ships. You will have a great time I am sure. There are great discussions specific to Viking on the other Social Media page.
  12. I must have missed that there are earlier dates for booking excursions? What are they or where can I find that information?
  13. my understanding is that if you have insurance that covers "pre-existing" conditions medication changes are not a problem. That is why we always buy truip insurance immediately. Perhaps coverage in Canada is different.
  14. viking's Expedition team was extraordinary ( although I have no comparisons) and were so very knowledgeable. The ship is very comfortable and food was better than the larger Ocean ships. The entire crew was friendly and willing to help anyway possible.
  15. if anyone is considering doing Antarctica...do not hesitate...just back from cruising on Octantis one of the best trips we have ever done! Iguassu Falls was also amazing!
