That’s the bottom line. You don’t really need to deal with USB-A or USB-C outlets on Viking if you don’t want to. You can just plug your phone in as you do now. Hotels overseas are another story. That’s where you might want to bone up on those USB options. And bring a country-friendly plug adapter. You can check with your hotel to see what kinds of USB outlets they have, if any.

Yes, you can bring your usual phone plug. It will work on the ship.

We found the beds to be too hard, and we like a firm mattress. Wish we had known to ask for a topper or two.

How lovely! A part of you is always cruising with Viking. On the other hand, that makes me wonder about the cleanliness of the pool...

This echoes my experience in Asia. Lines are not a thing.

Gack. What a mess. Reading things like this makes me realize my days of traveling for enjoyment in countries with crappy health care are over. (No insult intended to the places mentioned in this article, which may have sterling hospitals for all I know. Long ago when I lived in Africa, such was not the case.)

We wanted to take this pre-extension but it was sold out. Looking forward to hearing about your impressions!

Sounds lovely. The destination performances are always worth going to, in my experience.

One word: why??

Now, if the ducks start wearing baseball caps … 🍿

Nice underwater shots! The beach looks idyllic. Except for the jellyfish. 😳

That’s a beautiful night photo. @Pappri How did you manage it?

Speechless.

We stayed here, too, and enjoyed it. Close to Victoria station and Buckingham Palace. (We ended up staying there the day after the Queen died, so we were right in the middle of things.) If you stay here, I suggest springing for one of the better rooms.

Interesting. I lived there a long time ago, in a remote area. Never saw any of these things. (I would’ve loved to have tomatoes, but the only ones I found were imported and too expensive.) Maybe we just lived too remotely. In our village, the only street vendor eggs I knew about were balut (fertilized duck eggs). Sounds like there is a world of Filipino cuisine I missed!
