When you start looking at the upgrades for suites on the mid range cruise lines, you are better off going with a more upscale luxury line for the same money. If I am going to pay extra I want everything superior too not just the room and the MDR.

Well said! ;p

I’m so happy I found this thread. My husband and I have been loyal Celebrity cruisers for 15 years, but have become disillusioned with them recently. They are charging more and giving less. We just came back from an Alaska Celebrity land tour and cruise.

I have decided our next cruise will be on a smaller ship, and Viking fits the bill. I appreciate how pleased everyone is with the Viking Ocean experience.

I’m looking at the Caribbean itineraries for sometime next year.

It appears the deposit is $500 per person and the balance is due in 30 days. And there is a $100 pp penalty for cancellation, even months away? Is this correct?

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this very informative thread.

Sandra and I are booked on the 22 day Caribbean to the Amazon voyage in November aboard the Viking Sea. We payed the balance for the trip 6 months prior to departure. I think that is standard for Viking Cruise.

We have been dedicated to Celebrity Cruises for many years. But, like several others who have posted here, we're fed with them and have no intentions of booking with them again. This will be our first Viking cruise and we are considering Viking and a few other higher end cruise lines for our next cruise in 2019.

Meclizine is the active ingredient. Bonine is a brand name. For anyone interested, you can get a 100 tablet bottle on Amazon which is much cheaper than buying Bonine. I used to buy it at Target but it became too expensive for them to carry. Here is a link to it. I hope that I am allowed to post it. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_14?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=travel+sickness+pills&sprefix=travel+sicknes%2Caps%2C268&crid=2SS86ZLCAISSV

Thanks. I've added it to my Amazon Shopping List.

Alright! Alright already! We still have 210 days until our Caribbean to the Amazon cruise and all these comments are making it almost impossible to wait! I want to go.... NOW!
