Cabin availability, Viking website only ever shows a max of 5
OneSixtyToOne replied to Goosebear Mum's topic in Viking Ocean
It typically shows the least desirable locations (next to elevators, stairs, laundry for midship, or extreme fore and aft). If you call or use an agent, they have access to the full compliment of available cabins. The Live Chat pop-up might also help. That puts you in touch with a customer service rep. -

Which 2 week(ish) itinerary have you enjoyed most?
OneSixtyToOne replied to daleybread's topic in Viking Ocean
We took a variant of Trade Route of the Middle Ages (ended in Copenhagen instead of Bergen) and for sheer variety of ports, it was one of our favorite cruises. Spain, Portugal, UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands, and Norway, what an experience. BTW We JUST took the Chilean Fjords expedition cruise in October and it was tremendous. Here is my writeup: -
We also have booked Tokyo to Hong Kong. Which sailing are you on?
-
On our Journey to Antiquities cruise, one guest lecturer highly recommended Ostia. He said they are some of the best Roman ruins to visit and the place is not crowded.

Laundry/Dry Cleaning Turnaround Time and Quality?
OneSixtyToOne replied to notjaded's topic in Viking Ocean
Not at all. In fact DW wanted to buy some but we found out it’s private label manufactured for Viking. -
When we took the Chilean Fjords expedition cruise in October, we were informed that barbecue in Patagonia means a whole animal. This was lunch for one of the excursions:

Again, it depends on the TYPE of OBC. We have one for our next cruise (and have for previous cruises) where it’s clearly stated it can be used for excursions. For those OBCs, it’s used when you pay for the excursions.
-
It depends on the type of credit issued. FYI using the ACH bank transfer is faster. It can be pre-entered, unlike credit card info.

Iconic Mediterranean Treasures Jan 10, 2024 Rome shore excursions?
OneSixtyToOne replied to JVC_NYC's topic in Viking Ocean
Villa Borghese Gallery is one of my favorite places to visit in Rome. Bernini's Apollo and Daphne is the most incredible sculpture I've ever seen. I hope you make it. Good luck. -
This is essentially the Longitudinal World Cruise without the Antarctica leg. Probably had little demand without also going to Antartica. Could be this was added after the full LWC was not filled. It’s a repositioning cruise of the Polaris and Octantis and it’s possible to book the legs in two separate segments (back to back, Ushuaia to FTL; FTL to Canada/Great Lakes) and get the same results. They currently have not bundled them as a separate itinerary. We were on the Chilean Fjords leg in October. It was fantastic. That portion I highly recommend. Here is the closest current version: https://www.vikingcruises.com/expeditions/cruise-destinations/grand-journeys/longitudinal-world-cruise-i/index.html

There are robes available in the spa lockers, No need to walk through the ship half dressed.
-
Yes, but all the June sailings were removed due to the Olympics so there are fewer total sailings available next year. That translates into demand potentially exceeding supply and no need to discount.

We didn’t take this exact tour but we were on the Viking Tuscany post-cruise extension. In reading the description it seems almost identical to the day we spent in Florence with the exception of visiting the Academy. (We visited it and many other places on a previous trip when we stayed several days.) There is so much to see in Florence. No day tour can do it justice but our tour guide did an excellent job showing us the highlights while walking throughout the city. Here is a writeup of our day in Florence from January: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2906353-almost-live-viking-sky-journey-to-antiquities-jan-2023/?do=findComment&comment=64737534

There are two forward elevators and 4 midship elevators. The forward shafts are more convenient to get to the Star Theater where, besides lectures and entertainment, all your tours start from there. Midship elevators with the glass widows have gnomes hiding in the forest, so it’s a toss up. As far as cabins, we prefer the aft DV1s where the wake is mesmerizing.

France hosts the Olympics next summer. Viking has modified some of the river voyages to accommodate.

We also did the shoex to Tarquinia. Since it was Easter Sunday and we've been to Rome before, we decided to take this marvelous tour that is just a short drive up the coast. Here is my review from April of this year: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2927474-almost-live-viking-sky-mediterranean-odyssey-april-2023/?do=findComment&comment=65232669
