Hopefully, the cruise isn't an anticlimax after all the excitement and activity to prepare for it! 😄 You're welcome! I thought it would be helpful for new people, like us. And I get it, we've done a lot of planning to get to this stage. I can't believe we leave in a week. Once we get there, then I'll be all better. LOL!

rmalbers Posted May 4 #28 Share Posted May 4 (edited) On this topic, do you even need to worry about booking included, at least right away. Edited May 4 by rmalbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For River cruises not so much, but Oceans usually have multiple start times for their included excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are always exceptions. However you must reserve your included excursions in advance. You can't just expect to arrive on the ship on the first day and get a seat. Viking needs to schedule the resources needed to handle everyone who signed up. I've read on other websites that some people didn't know they needed to reserve their included excursions and complained when there wasn't room.

I would definitely recommend it. We found that almost all excursions were booked up by the time we started our cruise. That includes all of the included ones as well.

Rare kctwinmommy Posted May 14 Author #33 Share Posted May 14 @emckeeve - this is what I wrote up after we did our bookings. Since we were new to the process, I thought it was good to help others who were also new. 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
