    We booked our excursions a couple of weeks ago but didn’t receive a reminder email.

    Good to know - I always need lots of extra hangers

    Great review which mirrored exactly how we felt from our first Viking cruise last September. We really had very few negatives & have 2 more upcoming cruises with Viking within the next 6 months.

    Yes we have a saying ‘money can’t buy class’ 😀

    Great report Clay - really excited to see all photos as we’re sailing from Reykjavik in September (also on Saturn) & never been to Iceland before. Enjoy.

    Have a great cruise 🎉

    I agree - we’re in a DV cabin & our excursions opened up last Saturday for our cruise in September, we got what we wanted - granted, we didn’t book non-included excursions for every port but there seemed to be availability.

    Brilliant😂😂

    My husband is of the opinion that, that looks like the amount I pack/take with us 😂😂

    I checked thoroughly but did not find a magnifying mirror - the usual place would be the bathroom but none there. The mirror in the desk is very handy but definitely isn’t magnifying. So pleased I took my own or would have really struggled with eye makeup😱

    Thanks for this review. Good to know that you enjoyed it & you feel Viking is back up to pre-covid standard. Bodes well for our September cruise😀

    My beverage of choice is Jasmine Green Tea with a slice of lemon, so take my own tea, get the room steward to exchange the Nespresso machine for a kettle and, alongside a bucket of ice (for our nightly G&T), lemon was delivered daily to our room. Great service 😀👍

    That’s one of the main positives of Viking for me.

    It’s very difficult to work out, what with varying exchange rates & included flight prices from US as opposed to flights from UK, but I don’t think there would be a lot in it. From what I’ve read on this forum however, it does seem that TA’s in US are allowed to give more discount, OBS etc. than TA’s in UK. Also I never seem to see the offer codes discussed on CC.

    Duh!!! Apologies, of course they are - don’t know what I was thinking, just put it down to me having a senior moment 😂
  17. Hobson1754
    Yes I’m interested in this also as we’re going in September & will be able to make excursion reservations from next week.
  18. Hobson1754
    Totally agree with you & less to think about e.g. ‘does this top go with these trousers’!!😏
  19. Hobson1754
    Yes, that’s part of our reasoning too. I like to try different cocktails & you can do that - if you don’t like it, try another without feeling guilty or (too) wasteful.

    Thanks for the great report Kent. We are on Saturn in September - Reykjavik to Barcelona, so we were interested in how this new ship fared compared to others in the fleet i.e. food, service etc. You’ll be back on Saturn again in February, as will we so look forward to seeing you then.

    Fabulous report Lorna 👍
  22. Hobson1754
    Yes, we’ve booked Grayline’s Golden Circle Tour the day we board our cruise in September - (we arrive day before) and booked it following your recommendation. It costs less than half the price of Viking. They will pick us up from our hotel & I’ve been advised that they will drop us at the cruise terminal after tour 🤞
  23. Hobson1754
    Looking forward to your report of Saturn as we’re sailing with her in September & in February - part of your cruise then I believe.
  24. Hobson1754
    Is your friend Dr. Doolittle? 😂
  25. Hobson1754
    My thoughts exactly.
