We are new to Oceania. What should we know. Please, and Thank you.

Thank you,,,:)

When you ask, they do 6 months

Princess , 6 cruises, 5 times missed there Island. Viking, 3 cruises (52 total days), Missed 1 port due to high seas. NCL 2 cruises, 2 missed opportunities at there island. RCL, 6 cruises, one missed port Celebrity, 4 cruises (62 days), zero missed ports. HAL, 6 cruises, (56 days), one missed port. Is the pattern there? Not sure. My Q is. We have not sailed O yet. Do we run away?

Viking booking payments are 6 months out. We use to ask, now after one cruise it is automatic. Booked one two weeks back so this info is current. We enjoy V. We cannot wait to do O. The O v V is interesting. We are in it for the itineraries , then cost model. We assume O is similar quality to V. Yes?

Being new to Oceania . After reading the above. I can say the following 1. Wine can be brought onto the ship. 6 bottles at a time. Any most ports allow. 2. Wine can be consumed in our cabin, OK to walk around with that glass of wine as long as the original bottle is in the room. Why I would do that is beyond I. 3. The bottle of Gin for those G&T's is also coming onboard, no issue. We can enjoy those G&T's on our balcony. Did I miss something? We have traveled the world, with you name the cruise line. The one for O is NZ to Singapore, a last bucket list item. Only one other has a similar arrangement. That was long ago , well before the C.

Some thoughts, We walked off a ship in Bergen Aug 15. Train to Oslo. Left for USA the 17th. The 20th one of us came down with the C. Was it the Ship? Was it the train? Was it Oslo??? Or the flight home? Or maybe Publix getting milk and bread the day we came home? You're never ever going to know where or when. Will that stop you? Sure some, that's OK. For others no. Will people be stupid , sure. If you have issues with C, physical ones, then consider what to do. C will not go away. Peace all.

I disagree.

Enjoy the trip. We did.

The best tip (s) for a great Vikikg Ocean cruise? Ask Customer Service Questions. When in doubt walk to customer service and ask. They are always there. 24 x 7 they say. From Coking classes, to Restaurant questions. They will locate the proper location and or answer you need.

Hey, just off Ocean,,, Yes we did see a couple of wheelchair folks. Yes we did see a couple few walkers (Wheel with seat). No did not see the walker with just 2 wheels and no seat. They assisted the wheelchair person up and down the gangway. They carried up the chair while assisting the person walk up. Does that make sense? If not pm me.

We LOVE your attitude!

Edinburgh? The "Mile"? Hmmm

Had a lady on last cruse who wore what appeared to be the same outfit 9 days in a row. Blue shorts with a yellow top. Up in Norway no less.

Simple,, Before Crystal Cruise line went belly up. One that we had Thousands involved, we would immediately use the cash if there was such an option. After that mess no longer. Our CC gave us back all lost cash. Lots of it. My opinion still is Viking with a 6 month out final payment we would use the cash option. I do not see drama with them. Not like several other major players. Just my opinion....

Off Mars last Tuesday. Bergen Norway. Used Luggage Forward. Today bag arrived home. All intact. In fact great condition. Pleased as can be with them.

Prayers are the need of the day.

4029, just left of the entrance , 4031 and 4033 directly from the elevators. Zip noise,,

Prayers for his family

Please contact Viking tomorrow. Please.

It is a Large hot tub. Looking at a picture, the far end of it , the side away from the steps has a metal grate approx. 4' out from the wall. The depth is approx 5'. With all jets operating you may be able to do a doggie paddle,,,, for maybe 3 '. That said, It is a great place to relax. Note: no pool onboard will allow more than 1 stroke or maybe 2. Happy sailing

Last week, Vikikg Mars. 3rd in a nice list of Vikikg journeys.

Just returned from the Mars when I saw the news that one passed due to an accident. For us that is tragedy too close to home. We wonder who it was, Who was it that made an impact on our journey. We had a wonderful trip, I doubt we missed meeting many. All work hard , most to support a family far away. Sigh, God bless them. God bless his family.

My Opinion: for the past, what, 50 years, that country could pound sand for all I care. Soooo, if your trip was a must to go there then maybe fly to it. As for I, WOW more sea days on a Vikikg Ocean ship.We love the Vikikg sea days. Cooking classes, High Tea, reading, having a drink or three. With some of the best team we have ever been with. We've been around the world, both ways, up down left and right. Ocean days on a Vikikg Ocean ship is a high light. Sure we get off, see a souvenir shop, a this and a that. Back onboard for a smile and hello. WOW, gets no better. No? Enjoy the ride, Like I say, My opinion, That and 5 bucks gets me a coffee at the Star buck s Happy Sunday all. .
