Oceania is very accommodating in handling dietary issues. I am on a gluten free diet. On our last Oceania cruise we attended 2 of the La Reserve dinners and they provided several substitutions for dishes containing gluten. Let them know in advance and they may be able to provide a different shuffle, or another tasty alternative. Fortunately for me I have no problem with goat cheese, and I loved the goat cheese soufflé in both La Reserve and Jacques

We are about to take our first Viking Ocean this June. Have taken 2 Oceania Cruises. I will also be interested in comparing the two. We found Oceania to have a very diverse group of travelers, in age and experience. We have another Oceania cruise scheduled for next January.

Regarding Kirkwall/ Orkney. The port provides a shuttle to what the call the iCenter. I copied this information from their website Kirkwall center is an open and inviting iCentre, providing information and inspiration to both visitors and locals. Bus, ferry and rail timetables are available within the centre and Citylink, Caledonian MacBrayne and John O'Groats tour tickets are available for sale, as are Historic Scotland Orkney Explorer Passes. Local experts with a wide range of knowledge on the local area and beyond are able to advise you on how to get the best experience of Orkney.

Still get the black screen, only on my Mac, using Safari. Reported to Viking and got an email to change my password. Don't know why that would fix the problem.

Just tried again with the same black screen results. I switched from Safari to Google Chrome and was able to log in. First time for the black screen result with Safari.

Anyone have difficulty logging on to MyVikingJourney today? After I enter my username and password all I get is a black screen

We are fully vaccinated including 2 boosters. We have traveled on 2 small ship cruises, one ocean cruise, and 1 group land tour in the last 2 years. For all these trips vaccinations and testing prior to the beginning of the trip were required. Also masking was required on any public transportation, and at all times on the ship except when eating and/or drinking. We felt our risk of contracting the virus was greatly reduced under these conditions. We also limit contact with others for at least a week before leaving for a trip and are still masking, even though our state has long ago done away with masks. We will continue to mask on plane flights and will move from KN95 masks to N95 masks for our upcoming International flight to our Viking cruise. I do not object at all to daily testing on the ship and appreciate Vikings efforts to keep us all well. We will do our part to avoid being infected, for our benefit as well as others, while knowing we still have some risk. We will carry "at home" tests with us so we can verify a positive test if it occurs.

Might be interested. Need to check with my husband. Cindy

Most airports have a testing site. You might want to check that out.

You may want to in advance go into the website of the carrier or carriers and establish your flights using your confirmation number. We had to do this for both our departure and return since they are different airlines So it will be easier to checkin and get boarding passes. I found out through this process that if you are flying on American you need to use Google Chrome. I did multiple trials on Safari {we are Apple people] that the American site does not like Safari

I just assumed that I would need to get our boarding passes by logging into the Airlines and checking in. Our flights are ticketed, and the confirmation numbers are on MVJ, so I have what I need to login.

You will also have to check-in and provide another photo, in addition the one for VeriFLY, in order to get a boarding pass.

none yet for our June 11 cruise.

We are on the June 11 Mars Cruise and don't yet have excursions
