Me too. As well as Venice, when you could still dock there (and experience that fabulous sail away).

As of right now, all US flights to/from Israel have been canceled- at least for now

Best of the Best. It’s a dinner for those in the top suites

My TA, while not exactly discouraging me, did express a lot of frustration a few months ago. Now he says it has gotten much better.

Ahh. Well, I enjoy all of the other stuff. I book the hotels, flights, excursions, etc, but I leave the Azamara shoreside (and the hours on hold) to my TA.

I’ll be going through the canal in less than 2 weeks on another line. I’m not worried.

This is exactly why we use a TA. They absorb all of the pre-cruise pain, and we just enjoy the ride.

Same

That’s what my TA says too.

It took 6 months from the end of a cruise that I had done a Refer and Receive, and 3 months after they sent me the R & R credit, for my TA to get them to actually apply it to my upcoming cruise!

Good to hear!

I hope so. My TA works HARD!

Same for our February 2024 Quest Antarctica cruise.

I don’t think you get loyalty discounts on the Experience More packages. You can certainly buy them before you board and use, you just have to pay for them by CC. After you buy them, you can book excursions using the OBC associated with whatever package you buy. I think I am correct about all of the above!

Thanks. I only asked because sometimes Azamara offers $40 per laundry bag specials, so I thought Viking might too.

Are there ever any “specials”, like a bag of laundry for $$, instead of by the item? The OP doesn’t want to spend time in the laundry room.

Great deal on the cruise! Pricey drink packages!

Not sure I agree with you completely. I have lurked on some of their roll calls where they have organized meet and mingles. But it is a process that involves contacting someone onboard the ship with the names and cabin numbers of those who are interested. Not a particularly easy task for a newbie on a quiet roll call. But I, for one, enjoy starting a cruise already knowing a few people, whether or not I am sharing private excursions

The roll call for my upcoming Viking cruise is almost completely silent - and I’ve tried!!

So sad. It’s such a great way to meet others on your cruise!

I hope they let us know.

But they can’t know that the ship would not be full when planning the event months earlier, so that would not be a factor.

I think Chefs Tables are $95 pp, but there are packages for those too

I am still chasing referral $$ from Azamara six months after the friends I referred completed their cruise. So this problem is not limited to Viking!
