Beware if you add a drink package (Silver Spirits). We added the package and went to the bar directly after being told we were all set for a drink was charged $20.50 than a second drink $20.50. Evidently the package was not added for 1.5 hours after were talked to gest services thus they refuse to remove the charges for any drinks prior to the starting to of the Silver Spirits. Really!!! We are currently on Orion from Bali to Hong Kong.

We also enjoy the promenade deck for quietness away from the pool, less wind and shade. We are just off Reflection where there were chairs with pads outside the cafe on 5. They were ok for comfort but it would have been nice to have some loungers too. Depending on the time of day the chairs filled.

Thanks. I'm in the process packing for our next week's departure. Guess i'll bring the nie Celebrity Cruise tote. maybe Viking will get the hint.

Viking routed us through Istanbul last Aug on our way to Basil. I requested a wheelchair assist from the airline prior to departing Chicago. Their wheelchairs were mounted on what looked like a Segway that zoomed me around so fast that it was my husband who was doing the galloping behind! We did not leave the airport so I can't comment on the transfer.

👍. Good to hear!! She is our favorite ship

In the same vein, we were able to redeem $300 via the credit card website, We printed our recipe, However they don;t appear as OBC on our cruise account. Ideas of what to do next?

We have used them at least 10 times. I always call to complete a booking. Our biggest issue is they won't let you use airline miles or vouchers to pay for flight. Due to a light out in an airplane bathroom we missed a connecting flight and ultimately missed the ship with the first 2 days at sea. FBC made all arrangements and paid for us us to stay in a resort on Grand Cayman until our ship arrived.

I'm feeling left out in the cold (literally it's -23 wind chill) my 5 points have not appeared. Is there a button to click to see a listing of PUP points?

We will be taking the cruise from Santiago around Cape Horn to Buenos Aires in Feb 2025. I would read with interest a review of your cruise. Hope you have a great cruise.

Remember that excursions are included the price we pay for the voyage. When a port is skipped Viking doesn't have to pay the excursion providers and we don't get our excursion. Thus I feel we should get an excursion refund.

I tried to see if someone has asked this question before with no luck. Once on board we will receive $1050 OBC from our travel agent. We would like to pre-pay for gratuities and Silver Spirts, $1400 total before we go. My question is will Viking apply the $1050 to the already paid balance and refund or money once we are on board? We would pay with an echeck thus saving the service charge for credit card. Thanks

oops! 2024. No DeLorean. 😂

During our September cruise from Southampton to Ireland/Iceland/ Channel Islands we were informed mid-cruise that 1 of 3 days in Iceland, Ireland and the Channel Islands would be taken off our cruise due to weather and replaced with sea days. There was no mention of OBC or refund. They eventually were able to return our Iceland (no over night) and Ireland (shorter stay). We were not offered any compensation except refunds on excursions, but were thankful for a wonderful and safe cruise. We never gave thought to more compensation.

Flights over 10-11 months out won't show as the airlines haven't published schedules yet. I was just 2 days ago able to look at flights for our Oct. 10, 2004 sailing.

It has been 3 days since we moved $300 from our Celebrity Credit Card points to our Feb. reservation. The points immediately were zapped from the credit card but have yet to appear on the reservation. We had hoped to purchase excursions with the OBC during the 50% off sale. Does anyone know how long it takes the OBC to be posted on the reservation so it can be used? Is the OBC only available once on ship? Thanks for your replies.
