It is 5’7”x4’. Have fun finding a rug for yourself in Istanbul. Have a great cruise and do post here if you have time Cheers! Patti

Just got email from friend in AZ. The name rug dealer shop is Adnan&Hasan&Kilim Store. Can find it on Trip Advisor, with web site and lots of recommendations. I bought mine in the Grand Bazaar from the older gentleman. I had emailed him first. It is a small rug for use under my coffee table in my LR. Her is a picture of it at Christmas time.

I wonder how many passengers a river boat holds? Nice statistics. Viking has hit the sweet spot, 93 % or more are full ships in my view.

You and Mike are living your best life right now.🎉 Love, love you videos and pictures here on on X too.

I have wondered what is happening on the Neptune. Glad to hear from you! A little port drama from some passenger on another cruise ship posting on this wonderful thread. WOW🤣

Welcome to Cruise Critic. I think you will get more responses if you post your questions about electric wheelchair and cruise ports on this Cruise Critic Forum: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/114-disabled-cruise-travel/

Thanks for the analysis! I have booked two cruises using the promo for cruisers who have a booked cruise before a certain date. One for 2025 and another for 2026. I have yet to wait till last minute to book a Viking cruise to hopefullyget a bargain.

So glad you are taking another cruise shortly . I was beginning to worry, I had not seen any new trip reports from you. I do not have a cruise booked till fall of 2025 so love my virtual vacations reading trip reports. Your is always a favorite of mine.

I remember the TA , Same as yours, I was on. We too had rough seas leaving Madeira till we got into the Med. I never get seasick on a boat or ship. I feel like I am rocking in a cradle in a storm on the ocean. Must be my Danish heritage. 😁

Love to read about well feed cruisers who are being pampered by the crew! Enjoy every minute. I did go to Torshaven on some my first Viing cruises. But now I cannot stay awake and full of energy after 9:30 pm.good to now they have some really interesting liquor.

Skål! 🥂 Thank you for this thread. I can't believe it was 4 years ago , indeed, a different time for all of us.! Enjoy your TA on the Jupiter. I was on it last June . Now I have to wait till Oct 2025 for my next cruise. But this Virtual Explorer thread and reading the other Viking forum threads will do just fine. It is snowing out my window today ! Cheers 🥂 Patti

Thans for the report of your cruise currently not he Jupiter. My last cruise in June 2023 was on the Jupiter. Could some one post how are the bartenders int he Aquavit bAr? Is Michael one of them. They were the greatest. Loved the Cava I got each evening pre dinner in the Aquavit Bar with friends.

Jim, glad you and your luggage are safe and sound back in AZ. Now you are land locked like many of us enjoying the WC gang that are going forward to Africa and points North.😊

Love the video of the pilot boat and your send off. Also love the pictures of Feta's of Manfredi's dinner. My sister and I love eating there the first night on board. It is a great way to start your cruise. A variety of interesting lectures await you all on this lovely TA. Thanks for the lists posted. How many are on board making this wonderful Atlantic crossing? Keep your pictures and videos coming for us land lock viewers.

Looking forward to the live trip report. Feta. I hope you and other Viking cruisers Mae it to the ship today.! 🤞
