I figured that out pretty quickly based on a couple of things. One...the prices listed on their website. 😲 Two...my friend said that they give you a free hotel night at either the beginning or end of their tour if you've built enough status points with them. He has a UK tour coming up that ends in London, and they're staying an extra night for free in The Savoy Hotel. That's worth quite a bit more than some free drinks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arzeena Posted July 21, 2022 #65081 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) Wishing you very happy and healthy birthday Lenny! We hope you enjoy your party and like H said, I am curious if you will remember the 79 names. I am very happy your scare was just a false alarm. And I do agree with Graham that the sick joke was uncalled for. You do not have to reply to this since we do not want to discuss anyone's first names, and I FOR ONE REALLY REALLY DON'T care what it is. I do not want to know! I am sad that this thread has really gone south. 😪 Edited July 21, 2022 by Arzeena 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While there is nothing wrong with Viking they are just at the lower end of most river cruise companies in terms of what they offer. They are one of the biggest and most well known though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helen haywood Posted July 21, 2022 #65093 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I had to answer some questions to verify I’m me to open a CD. One was what color a car I owned over ten years was…I could have sworn silver; nope says DH, it was black. This resulted in another set of questions. One of which was asking which state my detested former stepmother owned property in! 😱 We don’t share a last name…have never owned anything together…never lived together…it’s a most unpleasant jolt when her name turns up out of the blue!! I’m currently serving as a comfortable soft bed for Diana as I type… 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things to research for river cruising is the passenger capacity. Due to the locks on the rivers (we went through 38) almost all river boats are the same size. On most Viking boats the capacity is 180. Our Avalon was 130. The other major difference is what is included. We really don’t drink very much, so the lines that included all alcohol were wasted on us. Most included wine, beer and soft drinks at lunch and dinner. That was enough for us. Our bar bill for 11 days was under €10. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand your upset Lenny and know it was a hurtful thing to say even if in jest. Paulines sister said it was Karma that I had a heart attack. This was a few years after Accepting over $10,000 off me to pay for a luxury Australia and New Zealand cruise including their spending money.

jagsfan Posted July 21, 2022 #65098 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I got some sad news a few minutes ago. Ny dear 98 year old friend Ginny got back yesterday from Pennsylvania where she was staying with her daughter. Her daughter was recovering from surgery and Ginny flew up to take care of her. She was there more than a month, and enjoyed the grands and great grands. Photos were posted on Facebook of Ginny in a backyard water balloon fight. Last night, home in her own bed, she got up to go to the bathroom and forgot she left her suitcase between her bed and the bathroom. Yep! She tripped over it and broke where the ball fits into her hip socket. The orthopedic group and other doctors are trying to decide what to do. At her age, surgery is especially risky, but Ginny has been trotting up and down stairs, dancing any time there’s music, and enjoying life in general. Her only signs of age are macular degeneration and having a harder time reading the dice. We are not ready to lose Ginny. And really not ready to have her lose her zest for life. Please send up a prayer that she won’t lose her quality of life and can heal from this. Mimi 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you are home and feeling better now. The air quality in this heat is horrible. I couldn't believe I saw a jogger go by our house about 1 hr ago. Shouldn't they wait until cooler in the evening or first thing in the morning ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter and husband who live in upstate NY are coming here Saturday morning to spend the day,sleep over and take my wife and I to the party. Please keep us posted. Hopefully all is good with the test results your cardiologist will review with you. Sunday sounds like it will be an amazing day. Is the party indoors? They are calling for Sunday to be worst heat than what we have now. Does it really make a difference if it is 102 or 105? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
