  1. I hope you mean adapter: An adapter changes the plug configuration so your US power plugs fit into the wall socket in the foreign country you are visiting. A converter changes the electricity so you can use your NON-DUAL-VOLTAGE appliances when visiting a foreign country.
  2. How "normal" is it to find 110 current in a European hotel? Do people have recommendations on converters? We have pre in the Italian lakes area and post in Istanbul and would like to be able to recharge phones, use electric toothbrushes, etc.
  3. The one on Jupiter was not being used when we were aboard.
  4. Starts in Barcelona - ends in Istanbul. Four segments.
  5. A subtle sales pitch is still a sales pitch. Do they talk about the filled up excursions or just the ones still available?
  6. Late afternoon. Helpful if you can overlook the hustle/sales pitch.
  7. 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."
  8. Has anyone here had any luck getting the mini-bar included beer swapped out for something else on the list?
  9. He throws my clothes on the floor he spends the rest of the cruise nursing a very sore jaw.
  10. 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.
  11. Note the "special instructions" area om yjr form.
  12. You'd think ship and shore times would coincide.
  13. I wear what amounts to cargo pants and a nice shirt to dinner. And I feel just fine.
  14. No such thing as "fresh squeezed made from concentrate" - think about it.
  15. I don't think powdered oj is juice either.
  16. You would think so - but Viking isn't very good at giving money back.
  17. If only common sense could prevail. Unfortunately, common sense died about thirty years ago.
  18. Dress code is for dining venues. Explorers Lounge is not a dining venue.
  19. Have Oliver Zinapold in Triberg (https://www.olisschnitzstube.de/en/) make you a cuckoo clock. Then you will have an authentic/traditional/classic Black Forest cuckoo clock rather than some tourist tat.
  20. A cuckoo clock shop in Berlin? Better off missing it.
  21. " --- I know that Viking ships are all exactly the same." Broad. And untrue.
  22. Didn't Laurel & Hardy do a film: Slobs at Sea?
  23. Most of the tipping I saw being done on Homelands was in $$$. I believe the $$$ are easily converted to local and gladly received. I have heard that most just wait until they have enough to bother converting.
