@SantaFe1 If you have time, will you post a photo of Onboard Booking Incentives? No hurry -- you have lots of sea days! V is running lots of sale offers, so interested to know if anything is offered for Onboard bookings, and would offers be combinable. Thanks

Was on Star Dec/Jan 2024. Had SSBP. My recollection is that wines "with asterisk" are not available on SSBP. However, if one has SSBP, one will receive a discount on bottles priced above $50. Any wines listed by glass $18 or less are available on SSBP.

Just 1 red and 1 white included lunch and dinner. One may ask if rose is available as included. On a prior cruise--(no SSBP) wife asked for a Reisling as included, and they brought one.

If GM is Marcel David, he is Cornelia's husband. A lovely personable couple.

We had an official M&M on Star December/January 2024. Organized On Roll call, organizer gave list to GS, V sent invites to cabins. Was in Wintergarden, with many officers, staff and CD. If interested, organize it on Roll call, asking fellow pax for 1st names, city, cabin #

On Star, December/January 2024, there was a French Champagne on SSBP. Can't remember name. After a few days, wine list was reprinted, omitting it. On new list, no other French Champagne available by glass, only bottles. Asked sommelier about it, said they still had it, but limited qty. Told me just ask for it, I did, and they brought it to table, over subsequent days.

Yes, the anonymity of CC! Thanks for correction. Enjoy the day of embarkation.

Bourbon guy here also. No experience with what you want to do. Was on Star December/January 2024. Enjoyed Woodford Reserve at different bars. Was on SSBP. Was never told it was in short supply. Will be back on Star 18 March 2024, TA. Hope they still stock it.

Hello V friends, If anyone interested, @SantaFe1 and others are on Star 14 February 2024, Hawaiian Islands Sojourn. He will be posting observations by piggy backing onto my earlier topic: "LIVE from Viking Star-- Hawaiian Islands Sojourn -- 28 Dec. 2023 --13 January 2024" https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2981581-live-from-viking-star-hawaiian-islands-sojourn-28-dec-2023-13-january-2024/page/6/#:~:text=Cruise Critic Community-,LIVE,-from Viking Star

Thanks, I will now open a window for the Live From Star 28 Dec 2023. Eager to follow along! It's on page 6

Thank you ORV. Enjoyed your positive postings, and call it like you see it observations. Safe travels, and enjoy your next voyages.

On last cruise, didn't preregister, nor at check-in. If desired, one can even pay in cash at end. Just go to GS to tell them, as I did and was expecting to give deposit, but was not required, possibly because I had a nice OBC, both non-refundable and refundable. Then, much later in voyage, changed mind, and gave them AMEX, which proved to be to my advantage.

Agree, pay as you go. V prices seem reasonable, and no grat added.

Was on Star Dec/Jan 2024, Hawaiian Islands Sojourn. Had no trouble with V included Internet. Did a live from, including photos. Worked very well even in middle of Pacific Ocean. Could not find out if ship had Starlink.

@SantaFe1 I'll be following your roll call. We'll be back on Star 18 March for a TA, FLL/BCN. If you have time, and are so inclined, will you be able to post any observations? I know it's your vacation, so no pressure here. Thanks, Not sure yet if I'll do a Live From.

Wishing you a wonderful cruise!

Yes, was not receiving notifications since about 4-5 days ago. Sent email to CC re: issue . Response was it sometimes happens. Said to unfollow, the re-follow Did that. Still not receiving all my followed content. Just receiving newly 1st time added followed content. Hope they fix it soon.

Thank you for summarizing those sales. Definitely agree the ESS was terrific. Booked Alaska from it, last September.

Hello, any plans to show super bowl in cinema or theater?

@Sthrngary Assuming you paid for your upgrade. Please explain how O calculated price differential. Current fare difference, or some other way? Reassuring that O was able to retain your Onboard booking incentives. Thanks

It's not really warm, ... Think of another email that means the same thing.

On Star last month, Manfredis had the best "Grill Man", Joseph. He prepared my Viking Bistecca correctly to my order preference, a couple of times. I complimented him each time when I saw him, as he works the Pool Grill during the day. An experienced "Broiler Chef" (another title) is necessary for a top tier restaurant to remain so.

On Star, Dec/Jan. they had Buf Trace in Explorers and Aquavit. Tried it for 1st time, but did not really fancy It's flavor profile. Preferred Woodford Reserve.

Also Bourbon guy here. On Star last month, enjoyed Woodford Reserve with SSBP. Was always asked if it should be a double. You know my answer.

Took the Laundry Tour on Star last month. Very interesting. They really strive to launder clothing as if their own.
