Typically shut while ship is moving because of the wind. One complaint- can be over air conditioned at times. But usable almost all of the time!

Is that what it is?

Dynamic pricing in response to strong bookings?

Usually $5.

Agree!

Agree 100% with your summary of the Viking experience. I also believe as things ramp up after the pandemic that some issues people have had will go away. It's been hard on the cruise industry between supply and staffing issues.

Don't care for that description, but that is about right! 🙂

Why do you say that they are not luxury? What is your criteria?

We had a couple that wore robes to breakfast in the World Cafe basically every morning!

As R-class ships are relatively small, how do they handle transatlantic voyages? What has been your experience? I understand that it can depend greatly on the weather and sea conditions, but what have you experienced?

Will do so! Thanks!

As Azamara ships are relatively small, how do they handle transatlantic voyages? What has been your experience? I understand that it can depend greatly on the weather and sea conditions, but what have you experienced?

I hope that Viking can continue to be a premium if not luxury cruise line. I’m afraid that they have bitten off more than they can chew with their expanded fleet and difficulties with staffing and supply chain after the pandemic. We are past Viking World Cruisers and have one more Viking booked in the future but are also trying a couple of other lines (Azamara and Windstar) to see how they compare and also want Viking to be successful!

Sorry to hear it did not meet your expectations. I am especially surprised at the lack of wines and spirits this far after the pandemic. Thank you for your review.

We always go early at least a day!

Is this from SJO?

Thinking of booking a cruise that starts in Puerto Caldera. I assume you fly to San Jose Costa Rica and then take a taxi from there? TIA!

Interesting. I guess they are still developing the website.

Thank you. It looks like I cannot even get that far in the booking. I guess it is a work in progress! I get stuck here:

How do you know it is the new engine? Thanks,

Fare Suisse in Papeete close to port.

Is the only way to cancel an excursion for an upcoming cruise to call them or is there a way to do this online? I cannot find a way to do this. TIA

Yes- I have Azamara checked for communication.

Oh well 😀
