@Clay Clayton - Just a message of thanks for letting me (all of us!) follow along with you on your adventures! My mom and I (80 years young!) are in the airport awaiting our flight to Venice, where we'll board our first Viking Cruise on 4/27. I feel like I know you guys, and I'm just coming to terms with the fact that you won't actually BE on our ship with us. Enjoy your last days on your trip of a lifetime!

 Come join us tomorrow, April 12 (first sea day after Walvis Bay) for LCR at 3:30 pm at the Pool Bar.  Not experience necessary-all it takes is 3 one dollar bills!

 

If only all of us following along on your journey could join! haha. Sadly, here I sit in Pittsburgh. 

I leave on Mars Italian Sojourn in just about 2 weeks...counting the minutes!

Hang on tight! 

Thanks so much @FetaCheese! Reading your reports was part of my morning routine. We leave in 24 days and I'm counting the minutes. 🙂

@Clay Clayton - You're the best! So enjoying your trip reports, and appreciate you taking time to help a newbie like me!

Coffee, juices, lattes, etc. are all included.

Thanks OneSixty! 

Hello fellow drinkers!
Does anyone have input on the price of "non-alcoholic" beverages that so I can include that in determining if I would like to buy the SSBP? 
Specifically, what is the going cost for a cappuccino or latte? 
And is anything other than coffee/tea offered with breakfast? For example, if I wanted a glass of orange juice, is that extra? 

thanks much - I tried searching and failed! 

Oh shoot - you're right! Sorry I missed that!

RIL offers it, but the OP specifically asked for a tour "outside of hiring a private tour".

The tour company, Rome in Limo, offers this service. We're doing this after disembarkation in May.

We tried the new menu in Manfredis last night, menu #4.  And like most others really missed the old menu.  This is most definitely NOT Italian.  

Thanks for the update, SanteFe1! Do you happen to have a copy of the menu or explain more about what is NOT italian?

Thanks for your report! Do you have a picture of the menu? Can you provide more info regarding what made it "NOT Italian?"
