Live Viking Danube Waltz Blog

[Clay Clayton]

First of all thanks to everyone who has helped this river cruise virgin get ready to lose his cherry next week!;):D

 

If anyone would like to follow along with our cruise, feel free to do so - I have already started blogging about our preparations and planning and since Viking provides wifi onboard, intend to continue as a live blog as we go awalzing. The link is just below the countdown clock for the viking cruise below.

 

Thanks again everyone!

Can you post the link separately in a post? The iPhone app doesn't show your signature or link.

Tried the link under the countdown clock but Wordpress is requiring that I sign in. Is there any setting that allows others to see your blog without registering and signing in?

[Clay Clayton]

Try this. You shouldn't have to sign in...if you want to follow, click on the follow button in the lower right and after yiu give your email address, it will notify you each time I post. Sorry for the earlier Mis-link.

Another good blog on the go. Well done you.

 

We did that itinerary on Viking Embla and had an excellent time...

 

 

The Abbey at Melk was awesome...

 

 

Bon voyage.

Read it! I love the photo shopped pic of you and your friends on the adjacent veranda. We'll be taking a similar itinerary with another line in July and can't wait to hear all about it. Bon Voyage!

Great blog-love your sense of humor esp the Medicare nursing home comparison! Thanks for sharing:D

[Clay Clayton]

Just paying it forward! These forums were a godsend prior to our first cruise to Alaska years (and years) ago and I learn so much everyday still.

Love your blog! I'll be following along. Enjoy your trip!

Thank you so much for sharing! We'll be on our Danube Waltz cruise next spring and I know your blog will be so helpful to us. I'm enjoying it.

Hi. Jealous of your airline arrangements. There are no direct flights from NYC to Budapest either! And we don't have points.

I hope I will enjoy the cruise just as much as you are enjoying the blog!:D

I am jealous of my flight arrangements too! I am probably just as excited about our FirstFirst as I am of the trip...now if I can figure a way to do The Residence on Emirates via an award:rolleyes:

The Residence is not available on Emirates, it is Etihad that has that on some of their aircraft....

Great blog! Thanks for sharing, safe travels. Looking forward to reading about your first first and the river cruise, enjoy!

[Clay Clayton]

Thanks everyone for the compliments....I promise it will become a blog about the River Cruise soon....but over the next few days, it will likely be short postings as we make our way towards the ship...we don't board until Saturday so until then it will be mostly airplane and Salzburg....and if I know us quite a few lounge pictures of champagne and cocktails.:D:eek::rolleyes:

[Cruisers909]

We were supposed to be on that cruise...had to postpone but are so happy to follow your blog to see what we missed!! Hopefully we will be on one next year...

[Clay Clayton]

Sorry to miss meeting you! We board in about 13 hours :D

Looking forward to following along. We're River Cruise virgins too and will be taking our first in July, on Viking, from Budapest to Amsterdam.
