You might want to point out that whiskey = scotch.

"A kid comes up to me in a white jacket, gives me a Ritz cracker, and uh, chopped liver, he says, 'Canapes'. I said, uh, 'can of peas, my ass, that's a Ritz cracker and chopped liver!'"

Please explain how the package is more convenient. Either way you order a drink and give your room number before said drink arrives in front of you.

State room category? We had a total of six for each on our two week Ancient Adriatic Treasures cruise which Viking treated as two cruises. We were PS1. And by the way - six in each is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many.

How 'bout the towns that basically have no locals like Skagway?

Owned by Princess or one oif the others. Skagway has a population of about 29 during the non-tourist season. What does that tell you?

Not much to Skagway. Mostly tourist trap type places owned by the mega cruise lines. Watch out for the jewelry stores in either place - if you get too close to the door you get all but thrown in.

That's what my wife said ----- until she saw them. They are stunning.

They can't make you walk through the door.

And be aware that you will be herded into a mandated "carpet demonstration" on the way back to the ship.

I believe drink prices include a 15% tip. Many like to tip extra anyway.

If I'm reading correctly there is now three consecutive days at sea.

Never thought of that - and I bet I'm not alone. Should you need to compare itineraries in order to determine if you are thinking of booking a cruise as advertised? Would not some sort of upfront disclaimer be in order?

We have this cruise on a 3 day courtesy hold. Looking over the invoice I spot this buried in small print: Itinerary Alteration This sailing will operate with an altered itinerary from what is published on the website. * January 2: Sail the Tasman Sea replaces Tasmania (Hobart) This would seem to indicate that we are going to miss Tasmania. Has anyone here seen or heard of such a thing before? Or have a clue why this might be? Is this a deal breaker? Why wouldn't this info be included in the listin for the particular cruise?

Finding a good place to eat in Naples? Do you really need our help?

How loyal does one have to be in order to be treated reasonably.? I'm looking at $50,000 thirteen months in advance. Not reasonable where I come from. But ----- I guess they get away with it.

Viking isn't wise to that tactic?

Has anyone here had any luck appealing to Tellus for a reasonable PIF date? Talking to chat you get "let me check" - which is the equivalent of "let me talk to my manager" at the car dealership.

Much more likely to find Bavarian beer. Bitburger is a thing.

Engebret Cafe - Oslo.

You want spicy? Stop by for some of my salsa. And ----- I'll throw in a real Mai Tai while we're at it 🙂!

There is a word for anyone who would pay for those jeans.

If you check the completed listings you will see that they sell regularly. Hence my comment.

And - by the way - those tags sell on the Bay.

Or ----- they say they do.
