But if they offer seat seat selection it leads you to believe that you will get what you select. If they know that they have no power to actually supply you with those seats, there should not be any seat selection offered. Just state that you have to select through the air carrier.

We've had seats assigned by Viking. Then they disappear and can't be selected. Called Air Plus and had them assigned. A day or two later they disappear again. Called and called and was told seats are controlled by the airline unless you want to pay for reserved seats. Sounds like a bait and switch scam. We will never use Viking for air ever again. Beyond frustrated and haven't even started the trip. This gives Viking a big black eye.

Great post of your trip! We are going on the Viking Sky on the Mediterranean Antiquities cruise in December and have been trying to get information from travellers on the port tours which has proved to be difficult. Your postings cover some of our ports and has proven invaluable. Can't thank you enough. We travel from Athens to Ephesus/Crete/Rhodes/Florence/Naples/Monaco/Marseilles/Barcelona.

We are planning a Mediterranean Cruise and will be in Turkey for a day. Some web sites say we need an eVisa from Turkey. Other sites say that cruisers staying less than 72 hours don't require a visa. The cruise line representatives say yes, or no, just depending upon who you get on the phone. The official Turkish web site seems to say we don't need a full e-visa but we do need something. Has anyone gone through this before and what is the proper procedure? Thank you.
