I am LOVING your blog!  My only concern is that your G & T is much too small! 🤣🥂

I haven’t spoken to the representative so not sure if you get more but here is a picture of the note we received in the room   -let me know if it isn’t legible.

Hmmm. Nothing about extending final payment to 6 months (from 12).  As suggested in another thread, it seems like benefits are indeed deteriorating.

We will be sailing on the Sea in few months for  a HL Cruise. This will be our third Viking Ocean Cruise.  A few months ago someone posted about the signage Viking uses for fore/aft and cabin locations. Pretty straightforward and helpful. As I recall, Port/Starboard wasn’t marked and we would get turned around coming out of the elevators. One person commented you can quickly tell port/starboard because there is a phone mounted on the port side of the wall as you exit the elevators. Can you confirm/verify this tip?

I do have a quick question, How large of a suitcase will fit under the bed?  Can you provide measurements of the clearance? We are looking at an extended world cruise and plan on shipping one of our larger suitcases down to the ship

 

Thanks!

That is generally the case. You can also tell as all even staterooms are on port.

Unfortunately I don’t have a tape measure but it is at least an inch taller than the daily which we think are published on an A4 sized paper which is 11.69”.  Even if it’s on American paper, I’d say at least 12.5”  tall.

I haven’t yet spoken to the rep, but did watch her talk on the tv last night and her PowerPoint slide of the benefits includes the six month final payment date!

Thanks for your feedback.

Hi Clay,

Could you let us know some of the movies which are showing on the tv in your stateroom?  You mentioned The Favourite on your blog, which is what's prompted me to ask.  Loving your food porn photos btw.

If you can, please confirm the 6-month extension.  Prior copies I've seen of that flier you posted included the reference, and there seem to be rumors of continuously decreasing future-cruise benefits.  The 6-month extension was one of the few significant (to me) benefits left.

Following 🙂

We will be on the Viking Jupiter later this year, out of Barcelona, for a Southern Atlantic Crossing.

Below are the “New Releases”.

[Jammy Bun]

Thank you Clay!  Some are the same as those that will be shown on our long flight to Durban later this week (I've check the airline entertainment schedule) so I will be careful that I don't watch ones that I can see onboard - apart from Bohemian Rhapsody, which I will be happy to watch time and time again!

[Clay Clayton]

There are a ton of other movies not in the “new releases” section (no I will not tell you what all of them are!😂🤪)  We watched the documentary Tea for four Dames last night- Judi Dench, Joan Plowright, Maggie Smith and a fourth that I wasn’t familiar with.  Quite funny!   We hope to watch Aquaman (not on the new releases but in Action) before we disembark in five days (where did the time go???) 

 

We had a lovely brunch today in the Wintergarden, if offered on your sailing be sure and go. Pics and video available on my blog and Instagram:ClaynMike

That's interesting. Did they take reservations? Was it a port day or sea day?

I'm curious - are you doing Trade Routes or a segment of a WC?  We board on the 11th, which is Thursday.  You're the second person I've seen that said they were boarding on Wednesday.  What am I missing?  🙂

Yes ; I appreciate you blog.

But still wondering what a "G & T" is.

My guess is Gin & Tonic

No reservations taken or needed- buffet style with multiple “stations”.

Gin and tonic, lots of ice, two limes please!

My mistake, we do Board on the 11th for Trade Routes, we leave SD on the 10th. I am ready to go now!
