I've done the SYD-DFW flight on Qantas, continuing on to DCA on American, more than once. Everyone's experience will differ, but FWIW, I found it to be perfectly pleasant/acceptable in business class. I think it really depends on your tolerance for that length of non-stop flying, which you can't really know until you do it.

Now THIS is impressive! (Packing it so neatly and so small that it will fit into your pouch, I mean.)

Sorry, should have kept reading the thread before I posted. And now I can't delete the one above.

I think the OP is saying that now that they are back at home, no one is handing them a menu.

What a pretty setting, and such a good-looking couple! Thanks for posting.

This is stunning! Do you have any other sons? 😉

What a good idea this is! I would never have thought of it.

"...for the age range on board, a longish top, to cover midriffs and possibly tummies and rear ends would be preferable." For sure! Of course, I think anyone over the age of 6 or 7 looks a whole lot better with their read ends covered with they're in any type of leggings. I also just thought of the term we used to use for the Laura Petrie-type pants...ski pants!

I've worn full-length, skinny-leg pants with a nice tunic or long sweater dozens of times in the Restaurant. While these aren't technically leggings, the look is similar/almost identical to me, so I think you'd be just fine. I think of mine more as "stretch pants" like Laura Petrie would have worn. Maybe the only difference is that the material is a little thicker than actual leggings, but I don't think anyone would notice that.

These are very cute. What brand/style?

Love seeing all the pictures and hearing your commentary! Sometimes we think we might be interested in an itinerary and then someone will post and we decide that it isn't really at the top of the list for us. Not the case here - every time you post something new, we think how much we'd like this!

In my experience, the latter. But YMMV.

Okay, I'm on iOS 16.7, so I should be good there. I'll see if I can find a way to enable this in Settings for Notes. So far, I've gone through all my choices under "Notes" and all the choices for Notes under the Control Center, and no dice. But I'll keep looking. Thanks for the additional detail and assistance here.

So, I don't have the circle with 3 dots at the top right hand corner. Maybe my iPhone is too old?

Total thread drift - sorry! - but can you quickly explain how to create a locked Notes on an iPhone? I played around with it and couldn't figure out how to do it.

Good friends of our were on a Viking Ocean transatlantic (in the Wake of the Vikings) in late September, 2019, and received an upgrade from a Penthouse Veranda to an Explorer Suite, completely gratis and without them asking or even thinking about a cabin upgrade. (On VO, this is a two category upgrade.)

Thanks for doing this! We have our eyes on this itinerary, so will be watching your posts closely. Have a great trip!

We also always register ours, and have done for several years now. Just an added measure of security that takes no time at all to put in place.

Thanks! Will check it out - it looks like the right size.

What brand did she buy? I'm looking for something this size and interested to hear what you chose. TIA!

Can you send me the link to the blog? Or tell me how to locate it? Thank you!

You're going to do a full write-up/review of this once you're back, right? Several curious minds want to know! 🙂

We had a similar experience. Three full days in Bergen in early September and it was very warm and sunny all three days. Not typical, I know, but it can happen!

We did this excursion on our 'In the Wake of the Vikings' cruise, and I would highly recommend. I know it's possible to book similar excursions with independent providers for less money, but in our case, at least, the van Viking used was only partially filled, we had a terrific guide who gave us in-depth commentary at all the stops, there was plenty of time to walk around and explore at each stop, and at the end, the driver gave us a quick unscheduled tour around the city itself.
