Marilyn This was a CC host asking that you use the reporting function to request the thread be pinned. While many of the reporting reasons are negative, there are two that are not - "this post is OK, but I want to let a moderator know" or "this thread needs attention". In either case you can spell out your request for the thread to be pinned. It's not clear why you conclude that the advice given by a host is not applicable, but certainly up to you. 🍺🥌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it as a moderator asking for it to be reported, and thinking "why on earth would someone do that?" I wondered if some bot had posted an auto-reply! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmagee Posted June 17 #2410 Share Posted June 17 I have loaded the app to my phone but it does not seem to do anything. Other cruiseline apps have allowed me to use it to make reservations prior to the cruise. Am I correct in thinking that the Viking app will not work till I am on the ship? Seems that way now. Am concerned because my excursion booking window opens Friday at noon. I will be away from home that day, with limited access to a computer with internet access. Hoped to be able to book my excursions through the app. Any way to do that? Marilyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FetaCheese Posted June 17 #2411 Share Posted June 17 @mjmagee Correct, app will only work once on ship, and sometimes, for a couple weeks after disembarking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long ago did you see this app? Is it still available? This looks really shady. There is a site called MyVikingJourney.net that has an app. At the bottom it states it’s not associated with My Viking Journey. I think this is an app written by someone who is connecting in the background with MyVikingJourney.com. They bought the domain MyVikingJourney.net. They are probably selling ads, displaying the real website, and capturing your data. The .net website appears to give you information about how to use the .com site. I would not trust anything associated with this. As far as I know there is no official app from Viking for MyVikingJourney.com that is a substitute for using a browser.

I can’t speak to Microsoft because I simply used a web browser to access myvikingjourney.com. On the Apple App Store however, there are only two apps developed by ‘Viking Cruises’. Those are Viking Voyager and Explore More Magazine. The former is used while onboard. Enjoy your travels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericosmith Posted June 18 #2424 Share Posted June 18 I can't remember where I found it other than it was on a Viking site. It's an exact duplicate of the MVJ website but you can add it to the task bar and it goes straight from there. It's on my desktop which I can't access for a couple of weeks while I'm getting ready to board. I'll take a look once I get home in a couple of weeks.
