  1. "Lobster Night" on a Viking cruise is no big deal - unless one thinks frozen lobster of unknown orign is a big deal.
  2. Convenient. How did that happen? 😃
  3. You have to wonder if it's really machine made. How many have been sold?
  4. "Go to the coop demo on the Viking tour in Kuşadası." Which tour is that? I've read on other threads that tour guides get an attractive kick-back for delivering cruise tourists (who often turn into buyers).
  5. We are booked on the "Wonders of the Ancient World" excursion. I wonder if that will include a "demonstration" in Kusadasi.
  6. Thanks! Now all I have to do is convince the other half that obtaining a rug is a good idea.
  7. Thank you! What size is the one shown? Stunning!
  8. Were you able to dig out the names of the dealers? Leaving in three days.
  9. We have asked if a riesling is available. Never denied.
  10. I can't imagine it would matter much. Are you talking over and above mandatory "gratuities?"
  11. Always a plus when it comes to star watching.
  12. Great example would be what Viking calls bisteca. Someone should be thrown in jail for that one.
  13. Calling something something does not make that something what they call it.
  14. Enough of local currency to offer suggested tips to local guides and drivers and maybe small incidentals. We're calling it equivalent of $10 per day.
  15. How does one keep injecter type medications cold enough on the way? From our door to the room refrigerator (assuming they have one) in the pre-extension hotel is going to be probably sixteen hours + or -.
  16. A better difficulty rating system would be welcome - "moderate" ranges from bus ride to forced march.
  17. The one on Jupiter was not being used when we were aboard.
  18. Starts in Barcelona - ends in Istanbul. Four segments.
  19. Late afternoon. Helpful if you can overlook the hustle/sales pitch.
  20. I'm with you. I buy t-shirts everywhere I go and have lots of what I consider to be nice ones. One of my favorites is a Minnesota Kicks (tried to get soccer going in the late 70's) which reads "It Takes Leather Balls to Play Soccer."
  21. Has anyone here had any luck getting the mini-bar included beer swapped out for something else on the list?
  22. At the Ratskeller in Regensburg I was drinking a dunkel that the monks at Kloster Weltenburg have been brewing for over a thousand years. That part of the world is heaven to a beer drinker.
  23. Note the "special instructions" area om yjr form.
