Agree!!! We bought two and take them on every cruise. Even if we don't do laundry, they serve as great hampers to keep dirties out of the way.

It looks as though you are having active days and being able to attend the shows at night. I am curious if you are having trouble adjusting to the time change? We have this cruise scheduled for next year and I am a little concerned with the big time difference.

You all are wonderful! I will be sure to get port info and the ships number. I will be emailing to see if we are the only ones and will be looking into a backup plan just in case. I feel MUCH better about coming in late. Thank you!

Thank you! I read that topic but we are not going to a hotel and Viking is providing the transfers. I am hoping that if we could not board they would be letting me know now that we needed a hotel.

We will be arriving in Reykjavik for our cruise at 11:30 p.m. The ship overnights in Reykjavik. We used Viking Air so they are providing transfers. I confirmed that they will provide transfers this late and they said yes. So what will happen when we get to the ship? Will they check us in that late? Will they take our luggage straight to our cabin or will we need to take it? Will probably want to go to bed so I don't want to wait up for luggage delivery--will we need to? Just curious if anyone who has arrived late before knows how that works. It is Viking Ocean on the Saturn. Thanks!

Just out of curiosity, does it make a difference on your insurance whether you no show or cancel?

Just a quick update on this. It finally occurred to me to do the chat rather than sit on hold forever. She said that I could do a short video of doing the test and a picture of the results and upload them to the Medallion app. No medical supervision necessary! Thank you all for the answers--sorry I didn't think of chat sooner.

We received an email about our upcoming cruise originating in Chile: Testing Requirements All guests ages 5 and older are required to take a medically observed COVID-19 Test. Medically observed PCR test taken within 3 days before embarkation. Medically observed or self-administered antigen home test must be taken within 3 days before embarkation. The last bullet says a "medically observed" OR "self-administered antigen home test. Does that mean we can just do one of the regular home tests without doing the phone appointment? If so, how would we report the results? I know I can call Princess (and will) but I dread the long hold time and thought someone on here might know the answer.

We have had a flight change and will now be leaving from Heathrow at 11:15 when we arrive in London at the end of our cruise. The ship is set to dock at 6:00 a.m. If we are able to walk off, should that be enough time?

We received the same thing on our Ocean Navigator cruise!!! I was delighted!

Actually, there is no error message. When I tell it to Save, it just goes back and shows as incomplete. I tried entering the information manually and then tried scanning. It just continues to show incomplete. I will probably need to call--just dreaded the hold time!

Thank you for input! I will check my phone number to be sure it has the +1. I just did not know if it would slow down our boarding or not, but sounds like it is not a big deal. Yes, have order the Medallions.

I have been trying to enter the information on the Medallion App for our upcoming cruise in January. It accepts all of my husband's information just fine and has moved him to "Green Lane". It will NOT accept my Travel Documents. I have entered the information manually and scanned my passport. Is there a "secret" I know nothing about? Does it really matter if I am "blue lane" as long as my husband is "green lane"? Can call Princess, but dread the hold and thought someone might have a quick solution.

Thank you! I will check it out. I had checked earlier but with Covid the information I was getting was very incomplete. I called and they weren't sure what would be offered. I will check the website again!

When docked in Alta, is there any way to go to the Igloo Hotel for a tour but NOT stay overnight? We do not want to stay overnight and the only other excursion I see there is for a snowmobile ride, which we are also not crazy about. Are there other tours (Not Viking) or can you get a taxi out to the hotel and back?

Thank you so much! That helps a great deal with our packing. We are doing the 2 week Great Lakes cruise this fall and are really looking forward to it. We have sailed the river boats with American Queen and have really enjoyed them.

I just now FINALLY heard back from AQ. They said there is paid laundry service but would not give me an idea of pricing. Would still love to hear from someone who has seen the pricing.

We will be on the Ocean Navigator for a Great Lakes cruise this fall and I cannot find anywhere that says if laundry is available on the Ocean Navigator. If so, does anyone have an idea on the pricing? Thanks for any help!

Thank you all for the suggestions!!! While I was waiting for answers, I stayed on hold for over an hour. FINALLY got help from a very nice woman who was able to extend the FCC's. I have tried a CVP but was not happy with the one I got. I may try again and see if a different one can be of more help. I appreciate the ideas.

Maybe I will try again. I had one before but I guess not a very good one. I could not get him to reply when I needed help.

My husband and I have around $4000 in credits from cancelled cruises that we used to book a transatlantic cruise April 9 of 2023. Princess cancelled the cruise. We rebooked a cruise for April 16 of 2023. Now they are saying that our credits expired before the April 16 cruise. I have tried online chat and have called. They said they would need to hand it up to Customer Resolutions (I think that is what they called it?). I have now been on hold for an hour and have no idea when I will get through. Is there any easier way to resolve this? Any other contact by email or phone that would not keep me on the phone for hours? Thanks for any help!

Do you have to spend the night at the ice hotel, or can you just go and see it? Silly question, but is it very cold sleeping there? Uncomfortably cold?

What is not taken into account is those of us that are "hostage" because of unused cruise credits. It is difficult to just chalk those off to a loss and move to another cruise line. When I have used mine up, if Viking is still daily testing, we will DEFINITELY be moving to another cruise line.

Would love to hear from someone who has taken this river cruise with Viking. I am already stressing trying to figure out how to take enough clothes when I probably won't be able to wear anything twice (because of the heat). How do you typically dress for dinner? I know it is smaller and different than the typical river cruise-just curious about the dress. Thanks! .

We have booked the In Search of Northern Lights cruise for January of 2023. It is the only month we can go, but now I am getting nervous about the VERY short days and the cold. We can bundle up for the cold but would love to hear from someone who did this cruise in January and how it worked out. Did you still get to see the scenery? Was it so cold it was miserable (I know January is the coldest month), etc.
