I believe Viking will tell you that it's a "butterfly" cruise and insist upon lumping them together.

Thanks for posting. Simba is a wonderful beverage manager.

@millybess you might want to tell me what you are talking about....please!

I admit, I'm confused. I am on the same cruise as Millybess. We are doing the North Pacific Passage cruise. On May 2nd we cross the IDL. My guest statement from Viking as well as My Viking Journey only displays May 2nd once. Shouldn't it be twice? Sounds like I'm being cheated out of another sea day!

I guess then we all need to bring Philippine Pesos or Indonesian Rupiahs.

Although others will say otherwise, give your local currency. No one will refuse a gratuity.

Or from a Bartender as you order your first drink. One Sixty to one is correct as far as purchasing it. Not sure why you need to delay the purchase, if you have done it before. It's a transatlantic, with many sea days......need anyone say more?

That was previously the way. It's now handled the same way as Ocean.

I think what most people do is just contact your TA with the Viking booking number. This way you can talk to your TA about the OBC or any benefits they offer for transferring the booking.

So glad your enjoying your cruise! It's funny, but nobody has ever said anything bad about the "Voyager" Lounge.

They do carry Dilmah English Breakfast....as you might already know it's a bright, full bodied, single region tea. 🙂

I wasn't going to ask, and I'm surprised no one else has..... Could you please send me the details of what agency you use? I won't be made if you don't. Thanks My gmail address is koateak

They carry the Dilmah brand in numerous flavors.

So I also use an agent from a very large agency who told me on my first call to her that she had access to all these secret promos. On that call to her I already had a promo code so we didn't discuss it further. On a subsequent call, I asked what promo codes she knew were available. Silence... Urban legend?

We are high jacking this. Please post new promos. Your agent won't do magic in this situation. Travel Lions river cruise is in 50 to 60 days (or less). You really think Viking will allow a change this late? Travel Lion- Other much smarter individuals on these boards will explain that you are also protected from price increases. I hope you enjoy your cruise. I expect you will.

Not sure of which river cruise you took, but I can say with 100% certainty that the river cruise bar was open and available for drinks anytime after 12 noon until (in my case) about 11pm.

So you are suggesting that it would be advantageous to take a 50% "haircut" (likely greater than $6K) to perhaps save half that? Priceless.

Thank you. To be clear, I was not using a promo code.

🙂 Where is he when this nation needs him!

The impact to my TA is that she lost my trust and is history.

Thank you for fast reply. My sorry story- Viking has lowered their fares for Egyptian river cruises for 2024. I booked in September 2023. I'm not at final payment and wanted a price adjustment in light of what you wrote. I have a Viking agent as well as a TA. Called the Viking agent first and was told that this was a matter for my TA to contact Viking. Called my TA and we actually got into an argument. My TA swore that Viking would never do a price adjustment and that it would be "a waste of time to call". I told her to call. She called. Less than 30 minutes later I received a revised invoice with a savings of almost $3K. No apology from my TA. Fairy Tales can come true........ Thank you WestW!

Question- Did you transfer this booking to a travel agent? I'm looking to do the same thing. And the Flounder is the best!

And i asked my sister what she was up to. She might have been sitting next to you for dinner! Regards.

Rough seas are ahead. Dramamine never far behind. Just leaving Puerto Montt now. Absolutely beautiful.

Well it is sunny and clear skies here but "only" 68 degrees. I can honestly recommend the South America and Chilean Glacier cruise on the Jupiter to anyone. Crew and food has been great. Crew even smiles and greets you. Sleepy...dont leave Viking but if you do, let us know.
