No he is not Indonesia

Yes,....you may ask. But I have heard or seen him yet. I will find out.

I should have added that my TA already said "no" because Viking doesn't combine promos. But from my past experience I know they do. Getting a straight answer is hard to do.

I have an appointment tomorrow with Cruise Consultant. Will reply after.

No ABBA, but they still allow you to dance in the aisle!

Deec...I I might be in love with you. But time will tell. On board the Sky now. And will find out tomorrow if its combinable with TGS23. Wouldnt that be nice. For the future world cruisers. The Viking singers/dancers just came onboard in Barcelona. Although i saw four board. Only 3 performed at the welcome aboard. There are a number of rooms being refurbished on deck3 Starboard. Sounds sometimes like Gaza Strip. Not really what you should expect. Stewards are friendly and outstanding. The captain is a giant. Jenna is onboard. Prio is the bartenderr in the Living Room. Third cruise with him. Alan on guitar. Its 11:17 now. Must have another drink

Aha!!!! Fake news. And No sign of Ruthie.

Perhaps Clay and Deec are hallucinating. Not that there is anything wrong with thst.

This is obviously a promo you cannot test on-line.......right?

Huh? Only for those with cruises booked?

Santiago to BA leaving 12/23/23.

Rob- Before that other wino replies....can you tell us the name/address of your wine shop? Thanks

Actually, I might agree with you and we could both be wrong.

Hi Sleepy, (it takes one to two weeks to recover) You nailed it! Loved your comments and pictures. Felt like I was there again. Except I don't think I saw any pictures of the two of you drinking! You must always to so on vacation. Any future plans on Viking? And congratulations on the new addition to the family.

You are making two different and opposite arguments. I agree that the only reason to book a cruise either with Viking and then transferring to a TA is the OBC. And please note that my TA gives it to me as a refundable credit. I have received a check for the unused credit from Viking many times. I don't agree with your last statement. I expect (sometimes foolishly) that Viking knows more about their product than a third party who sells different cruise lines. If I call my TA and ask some question, she will likely have to call Viking. That doesn't make things easier. In fact, after you book a cruise thru Viking and transfer the booking to a TA, the TA then must call Viking for the sole purpose of transferring a booking. That does not make Vikings time for efficient.

I stand (or sit as I write this) corrected. Next time I speak to my Viking agent (Lucy), I will ask her to explain.

Same here. I tried making a payment for Silver spirits and gratuites at about 11 days. They lock you out of reservations/ excursions at one week so I thought I had time. I'm pretty sure, the message said 2 weeks.

🙂

I believe, but I might be wrong, it is 14 days.

Since you are asking, i have a Viking sailing out of Satellite Beach.

I should add why. Transferring your booking to a TA hands the total responsibility of your booking over to a third party. They are then "in theory" the people you need to speak to about any inquiries you have. Including payments. Makes sense in that they need to do something in order to earn an inflated commision. And, yes, it is inflated if they can turn over to me as much as $1K!

I don't doubt you. Many of us have mentioned on these boards that Viking agents are not as "sharp" as they should be. But my statement is still true.

That is not what I was addressing. And you TA likely gives you a "heads up" because TA's will make a final payment requirement earlier in order to ensure the Viking payment is timely.

Is it really 60 days to do a transfer? Anyone? I have heard and was told it is 30 days. And if you book a last minute cruise because of all the Viking promotions, you must transfer the booking sooner. Something like 24 to 48 hours.

After you make a deposit payment for the cruise, all further payments must be made thru your TA. That was what my Viking agent said. She is happy to talk to me about anything else. This ensures my further bookings with her. I'm not sure if you can make a payment on MVJ after transfering a booking to a TA.
