I am aware of the anniversary sale but the savings seem minimal for our desired sailing and cabin type (DV) over the holidays.  If there is another promo code that you are using, do you mind sharing it?

Do I mind sharing it?  Of course not.

If you look at the thread called Viking promos and look at post 1766, you will find the promo WSM24.

Real savings.  I was hoping to get the promo from the Florida Flounder, but got it from my best bud, Traveling with Style.

As it stands, the current price along with extra sea days in lieu of port calls puts this cruise in the "not worth it" category for us.

If that's how you feel, don't book.  But sailing with Viking during the holiday's is really nice.  They tend to do a few extra things like they do on the World cruises.

I did a fake booking for a cruise and got the following-

Too expensive for my taste!
