Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We have no segments on the Neptune once boarded in LA. There are no segments being sold for the rest of the journey at least according to their website for the Neptune. People have many disembark ports if they chose to not continue the cruise. Some left in Vietnam and Singapore. Other will leave in Sr Lanka and Cochin. I have not heard of anyone leaving in Cape Town, but I am sure a few are. Many have booked independent travel for India and Africa as Viking is unable to accommodate the number of guest to excursion ratio. It may seem we are segmented as we have people coming and going but it is the same people.
  2. Many people that I have talked to had already been to Africa and done of them multiple times or already had a trip scheduled to go to Africa later this year or next year.
  3. @Clay Clayton what time did you dock at the pier that you had to get up at 2:35 am? Great pictures!
  4. That’s my hope as well. Just let us know so we can move on.
  5. I don’t know why but he did allude to there being difficulties in sourcing some things which of course would be out of his and Vikings control.
  6. I agree some things are not as good. I also agree with @Jim Avery that the soups are very watery where previously they had always been fantastic and creamy. I have not had a bad meal just some that leave a lot to be desired. I had the chicken cashew starter the other day and not a single cashew. I did let the waiter know as did the gentleman sitting at the next table. I had a cooking class and was fortunate to meet Chef Willy and he stated he spent two months at home planning the menu for the Sky and the Neptune and said since it is a WC he has free range and does not have to follow corporate exactly. Now sourcing those foods is whole other matter. We ate at the Chefs Table last night and it was delicious. The fresh tuna tacos were great pool side today.
  7. I just want to say Wow! We had such a nice turn out for our Meet and Mingle yesterday. Knowing how busy everyone is already I greatly appreciated those who stopped by to say hello, introduced themselves and of course what a warm welcome from the Viking staff. if you see Mara tell her thanks as she and her team along with food and beverage were the folks who sent out the invitation and poured drinks and passed appetizers around. It was a real pleasure to put a face with a name. Skol! We will see you around the ship. Diana and Myron
  8. My pleasure. It was so nice to faces to the many we have chatted with over the many months. What a wonderful cruise we shall all have.
  9. Thanks.Appreciate your help. You can shoot me an email to avahondj@gmail.com
  10. Is anyone planning a meet and greet once we all board in LA? I can definitely head it up. It could be on our first sea day after Santa Barbara. Can someone get me the contact info of the CD so I can see if she will coordinate it or who I need to coordinate it with? TIA Diana
  11. Thanks Clay. I had used them for the 21/22 WC as well (my bags were shipped out and back by Viking when we canceled the day before the trip started) it was nice to know exactly where the bags were. I am trying to understand how they would know they were in the bag and was hoping someone on this last cruise had used them without issue.
