That is very interesting information. So the Orion has the Asian station? When we were on Jupiter there was no Asian station, so it must have been added afterwards.

I've just been corrected. She actually reached out to the GM on Viking Orion.

I do think a Canadian office would be an improvement. Having said that, on our cruise in January the Guest Services Manager reached out to Viking about a question we had for our cruise next month. She ended up with someone based in South Africa who was of no help at all. The GS Manager had to call and make the inquiry several times, before she got the answer. I'm not sure what country the answer came from. So maybe it doesn't matter.

Right, not very well phrased on my part. That is what I meant -- a deal not to be passed on, especially if one has been to Africa. Incentives for a future cruise.

The information you're looking for should be on page 3 of your invoice.

Same when we were on Jupiter. I was doing some research and came across an article that said Saturn, Mars and Neptune also have planetariums, but I didn't think that was the case.

We know that Viking Jupiter has a planetarium. We are interested in what other Viking ocean ships are equipped with a planetarium. Thanks!

Best of luck @FetaCheese. We're looking forward to your next update. It sounds like V is taking good care of you.

Possibly there are incentives to depart early — future cruise vouchers, etc?

I agree with both of these thoughts. When on board, the Viking crew know we are Canadian. And, yes, a Canadian office would be an improvement.

It's very nice that there are several CC posters on this cruise. We did the TA from San Juan to Barcelona last March. I expected a rocky ride, but every day was beautiful with calm seas and sunny skies. The pool roof was open most of the time. We're looking forward to hearing often from you all. Enjoy!! Thanks to @FetaCheese for starting the thread.

That's exciting. We love Fort Lauderdale. Enjoy your evening.

You're absolutely right about the ridiculous statement that Canadians require a US Passport and I roll my eyes every time I see it. I've also taken them to task on this and indeed nothing has changed.

Yes, right. It isn't fun and apparently the process hasn't changed much. I've stayed in touch with people on our January cruise. We all started applying around the same time -- the beginning of December. Some still don't have them.

You might want to start processing the visa now.

I'm looking forward to it. I always find your "Live From" posts very interesting. Enjoy!

It's good that you already have a priority list. In our case, we added them to our cart in 3's before we checked out.

And it saves you 3.3%

If you use ACH, it's very quick.

Many people here have said this about 2 users not being able to book excursions at the same time on the same account. But, for us, this is not the case. We have always been able to book excursions at the same time. In fact we did this 2 months ago for our cruise next month We're travelling for 5 weeks, so that was a lot of excursions and it took us less than 5 minutes with both of us working on it.

Absolutely agree with this. Gaudi's architecture is so unique and includes so many different crafts and techniques. I could spend weeks in Barcelona just taking in all of Gaudi's work. It's very interesting, amusing and entertaining.

We were on Viking Shores and Fjords. The view was also "up" and the overhang definitely obscured much of the landscape.

We stayed in 6090 once and I agree that the location is not great. For us, the issue was the Aquavit overhang. It definitely inhibited the ability to take photos. I think 6028 looks good! All that is above you is the lanai which shouldn't be too noisy.

Thank you. We’re cruising next month and I’ve been working on trying to attain photos of the same quality as yours.

Off topic @OneSixtyToOne and @uktog Are there any books you would recommend on photographing with an iPhone? Or did you just experiment with it?
