Yes.  Our "Viking Guy" put us on the Egypt waitlist for a completely sold out 2020 and within a few weeks we had booking on Viking Ra at one of our preferred time slots and in the best cabin on the boat to boot.  Prior to that in 2018 we wanted Hong Kong to Vancouver but it was sold out.  Our guy put us on a waitlist and a few weeks later called to tell of an opening on the cruise we wanted.  Unfortunately, in the interim, we had a really good offer from Seabourn in Alaska which we had already booked.  So we are two for two getting what we asked for by going on the waitlist.
