We have been on about 10 Oceania cruises. We just love Oceania. due to Azamara having more stringent COVID protocols, we switched over to Azamara. Now we have done two Azamara cruises and havre a third booked this fall. Azamara is a very good fit for us. I find the time in ports much better. Azamara has a more friendly feel. The food however is just not as good as Oceania. Azama has good food but Oceania in my opinion has higher quality and more creative cuisine. I think you should certainly give Azamara a try. ===

What time are the shows on Viking?

Our time just opened for dinning reservations. The only thing I could get was Chefs Table on day 14 at 8:30. This is a bit disappointing. Do The Chefs Table and Manifed’s allow walk ups/

Does anyone have advice for tours in Israel? My choices seem to be the included tours, the Viking tours at extra cost and Guided Tours Israel. We have never been to Israel and this may be our only time to visit so I want to see and experience as much as possible. I do not want just a bus ride with little or no inside visits. Guided tours Israel does not have head sets and the tours can be up to 16 people.

Does Viking Ocean use head sets for their tours like the river ships?

Can on board credit be used for future cruise deposits or future cruise payments? Is it ever refundable?

You are correct!

This is very disappointing. I love Oceania but for now we will probably be going on Azamara. I do worry about other passengers. Most are older and so vulnerable.

I would always ask how many people will be on the tour. I have been on some of their “small” tours with 28 other people! In my opinion a private tour is a better value but that is not always possible.

When sail in about 80 days. When should I expect Viking to give me my air arrangements?
