Viking Star had several Mahjong sets when we were aboard in August 2022 and had a few organized times where Mahjong players could meet and play.

Thanks for the heads up.  Will mark my calendar and check in two weeks.

Great information.  Thank you for sharing and a special thanks to OneSixtyToOne for the list of excursions.  We embark on Polaris in Valparaiso on October 28th and excursions will not be posted until September 11th.

We also took advantage of the Viking offer and booked the Patagonian Shores and Chilean Fjords cruise departing Santiago on October 28th on Viking Polaris.  We have been hoping to get some information about the itinerary from cruisers who have experienced this trip but have not been too successful.  There is a limited posting under Roll Calls, Viking Ocean, Viking Polaris.  

Thank you John Bull, Flamomo and VMax1700. Greatly appreciate your tips. John Bull's clever comments about his "visit to a few pubs" made me chuckle and I am certain it will not take much persuasion for our group to make a few pub stops while in Ireland. Thank you Flamomo about your reminder to allow some "leisure" time when planning port activities. It is so easy to get caught up in trying to see and do as much as you can. Since we are hoping to arrange a Ring of Kerry excursion, I was delighted to hear about Butlers Tour from VMax1700.

Two years ago you provided me with information that greatlyassisted my group to make a decision to book a cruise to Norway or the BalticSea area. We ended up going to Norwayand did not regret our decision. Sinceyou are a wealth of knowledge, I would greatly appreciate anyinsight/recommendations you can provide to help us plan our shore excursionswhile visiting the British Isles on the Caribbean Princess leaving Southampton on August 29th.

The only excursion booked at this point is to the NormandyD-Day Battlefields with Overlord Tours when docked at LeHavre, France. Ourcruise schedule is as follows:

Tuesday, August 29 – Southampton

Wednesday, August 30 – St. Peter Port, Guernsey, ChannelIsland

Thursday, August 31 – Cork (Cobh), Ireland

Friday, September 1 – Dublin, Ireland

Saturday, September 2 – Belfast, northern Ireland

Sunday, September 3 – Glasgow (Greenock), Scotland

Monday, September 4 – Sea

Tuesday, September 5 – Kirkwall, Scotland

Wednesday, September 6 – Invergordon, Scotland

Thursday, September 7 – Edinburgh (S Queensferry), Scotland

Friday, September 8 – Sea

Saturday, September 9 – Paris (Le Havre), France

Sunday, September 10 – Southampton

Since we really enjoy seeing the country side and roaming aroundcities/villages near the port rather than spending hours in museums andcathedrals, I would like your thoughts about some of the “must see” sites whilevisiting Ireland.

Cliffs of Moher

Ring of Kerry

Killarney National Park

Dingle Peninsula

Giant’s Causeway

Would also appreciate your opinion about what ports arethe best for just roaming around the closest city rather than participating inan organized tour. We want to avoidscheduling an excursion at every port and want some “down time” to just wanderaround the area at our leisure.

Thank you.

Terry in Ohio...since you have a wealth of knowledge about cruising in Northern Europe I am hoping you can give me your opinion on our dilemma. We cannot decide between a cruise to Norway or the Baltic Sea. We plan to cruise the latter part of August or beginning of September. Your thoughts please and thank you.
