That looks like a really nice lounge experience! Glad it's all working smoothly so far. That last minute bar bill seems to be a relatively common occurrence, or maybe we're just unlucky. On all of our prior VO trips, we've had a small bar charge added overnight on the last night. Fortunately, we've been able to get these adjusted in person before leaving the ship, but I will say that the last time it happened, the gentleman manning the guest services desk argued with me a little bit about it - politely, but he didn't just immediately accept my assertion that we hadn't incurred the charge. Anyway, looking forward to hearing more about the rest of your journey!

Totally!

This was a great write-up. I've never had much interest in visiting Monaco, but reading your summary and seeing your pictures has totally changed my mind!

Sorry, was responding before reading all the current responses. I saw the post that includes the summary of the Verizon plan. Thanks!

Am interested in this, as well. After seeing the original post, I did a cursory look and couldn't find this on the Verizon website.

Loved reading this, Clay! I had pieced together some/most of it from various Viking posts, but really good to have all the background detail in the right order. Have a wonderful cruise/France/Iceland sojourn!

It's a great example of differences in US language and British language, isn't it? On giving it a little more thought, it seems that we use "chunnel" interchangeably to refer to both the tunnel itself, as well as to the train that goes through the tunnel. So, "You could always take the Chunnel from England to France" would be interpreted to mean taking the train underneath the Channel that goes through the tunnel. 3 concepts in one word. 😊

That's fascinating. The only thing I've ever heard it referred to as here in the States is the Chunnel.

Thanks again! I did notice the Costco info, but this additional detail is helpful. I'm embarrassed to tell you what I paid for my most recent pair, and I'm not really able to wear them at all. Live and learn.

Thanks for sending the tips. Just by reading through them before checking out the site, it's clear how confusing it could be for a newbie. These tips are all great, but particularly the one about needing your PD measurement, so that you can get that ahead of time. Looking forward to watching the video!

This is the first I've heard of Zenni! Would you mind posting your 10 tips? Or if you'd prefer, my email is aungrl at gmail dot com

I'm from the US and I had the same question! 😊

Thanks so much for posting here and alerting us to your fabulous review and website. I just spent the loveliest hour reading through your Northern Lights review and looking at all those amazing pictures.

Thank you! It looks perfect.

Agree - Land's End has been my go-to for years.

And a link for the little pink jewelry box, by any chance?

Thanks for the additional detail and pics. I do love the way these look. Off to research SAS factory locations.

Thanks, Lois, will do!

These SAS huaraches are super cute. I have high arches, so need something that is supportive in that area for long periods of walking. How do you find the arch support in this style. Also, is your pair in the picture the antique tan color? Thanks!

So sorry to hear this! The lamb chops are one of my husband's favorite things when we're on a Viking cruise, and he orders them at breakfast and has them at other times, too. They've never been anything other than delicious.

Okay, this is NOT how I make my grits, but it's definitely how I'm GOING to make them next time. I can see why they would be even better when you take the time to do these steps. Thanks for posting!

And cheese! Gotta have cheese if you're having them with shrimp instead of breakfast. 😊

Loved following along! We were in some of these same places about 10 years ago and all of your wonderful photos brought back so many great memories. I'm so glad you took the time to post!

It's not just a personal preference issue, it's a safety issue. Please report it quickly and let Guest Services deal with it.

It truly jeopardizes the cruise. If at all possible, listen to all the good advice you're getting here to fly on the 24th at the very latest.
