  1. Agree with the above poster. We also disembarked on Thursday from a Regent Cruise and found the airport in Reykjavik to be incredibly crowded and inefficient. Even with expedited security and business class flights, I wouldn't risk a flight before 11am.
  2. We disembarked this morning from our cruise on Splendor and one of the things we enjoyed was visiting the specialty restaurants during lunchtime. On a sea day (and we had several due to some bad weather) both Chartreuse and Prime 7 were open for lunch with wonderful menus. La Veranda is always open for lunch as well, and the pool grill is open until 4pm daily. Lots and lots of options!
  3. Can anyone who is currently/recently onboard Splendor comment about Mah Jong set availability on board?
  4. Thanks so much Dave - that's good to know!
  5. Can anyone provide information about whether Mahjong is played onboard, if it's generally well attended and whether sets are available? Thank you!
  6. We were on Viking River two months ago and I can confirm that there are always water bottles available, but soda only during meals. There is a table set up by the main desk which is always filled with water bottles for you to bring on excursions or back to your room. In addition, there are two glass water bottles in the rooms which are always refilled/replaced as needed. If you stay in a Veranda Suite they will also stock your in room fridge with soda and other drinks, but I'm not sure if that's the case for the other room categories. Maybe someone else can weigh in, but you're definitely fine with water - there's plenty of that!
  7. I had an issue in the Aquavit with a few couples saving the tables for two every night. My husband and I ate at shared tables in the dining room every evening, but one night my group of friends and husband were off the ship and I wanted to try out the Aquavit by myself and enjoy a quiet table for two. I got there exactly at 7pm and found that people had come earlier and draped their coats on the chairs to save the tables....they sauntered in closer to 7:30 and you could tell that this was their routine. I felt this was against the spirit and congeniality of the river cruise....You could see that the servers were well aware that this was taking place but were in no position to intervene. I've read various excuses on the board from couples who did this every night of the cruise (i.e.,my partner is hard of hearing, doesn't like to socialize, etc). I wonder if these couples stopped to think that others might want the same opportunity to enjoy a quiet table for two from time to time.....
  8. Oh I love the look of the new tote bag....it looks like Longchamps!
  9. We just returned from a Viking River Cruise and were in a Veranda Suite. We used our Veranda only once.....most other times we were tied up to another ship. The balcony on Viking is quite small/narrow. We really enjoyed having a French balcony in the bedroom and often kept it open in the evenings for some fresh air.
