To anchor off Hamilton, the ship would have to fit through Two Rock Passage, and if it's small enough to do that, it can dock on Front St🤷‍♀️

Which Celebrity ships dock in Hamilton and St George? I've only seen them at Dockyard. I'm interested in an Oceania Insignia cruise that docks at both Hamilton and St George. We love Bermuda and fly in and stay 2 weeks every year, but sailing through Two Rock Passage is amazing (I've done it twice) and sailing through the St George Town Cut is on my bucket list - and yes, I've done it on the ferry.

We've done 10 Viking cruises - 5 river, 5 ocean. Viking ticks all the boxes for us. I found a very intriguing Oceania itinerary and I've heard good things about the line - thus my presence here. The lectures on Viking are all different and on varied subjects. I've yet to hear one on the Bayeux tapestry, nor Viking history unless you count the Hanseatic League - which I was very interested in. 🤷‍♀️ The newer Viking ships have windows that open along the pool area. We've had the roof open and closed depending on weather. It has not been hot in that area on our last 3 ocean cruises. We like eating lunch there or on the Aquavit Terrace. I've never had to send food back. I enjoy good food, but don't call myself a foodie, because it always sounds pretentious and food tastes vary so. We like the included tours - though sometimes we book the optionals or do independent. We like the spa - love the spa, actually. We love the casual "no jackets required" atmosphere and the no kids policy. I'm hear to learn, but I'm happy to answer questions about my Viking experiences.

I don't understand what you mean by "no incentives for activities"

Awesome! Thank you so much!

Thanks!

We are on the Med Odyssey following your cruise. We are doing the pre cruise in Madrid with the train to Barcelona. We will be in the Intercontinental 3/30 and 3/31, but I think that will be before you end in Barcelona as we are boarding on 4/1. We did this extension once before and it was really great, but I don't have any info on the tapas tour. I should look and see if they have that for us.

No, I googled it. I think it was on Cruise Critic actually 😁

Thanks! Don't go to too much trouble. I just like it, but I can find other things to drink. I just wondered.

I love those!

Oh well! I saw a bar menu online and it showed they had it. Perhaps I'll see if I can get it at the airport duty free.

They really should add a text box for comments. I always have some 🤣

Thanks for posting the Manfredi's menu!

Thanks! It's a Dutch gin liquor. KLM serves this on their flights and it's quite good. Bols sells it already made up, but they have the recipe on their site. It's quite tasty!

I'm following your post because we board the Star in Barcelona! I'm excited! This will be our 10th Viking cruise (5 river & 4 going on 5 ocean), but we've never done the Med! I'm interested in hearing how you are finding the ship. Does Manfredi's have the Viking version of the steak or the new one. Also do they have jenever onboard? I'm currently enamored with the Bols cocktail called a Very Old Fashioned. I have the recipe, but it needs jenever. I'm wondering if I should try to pick some up in port. How are the bartenders in the Living Room? That's our hangout when we aren't on the Aquavit Terrace.
