Rare sleepybobo Posted April 22, 2020 #1 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Hope everyone is well and healthy! My next Viking cruise will be in May 2021. Although it’s still a year away, I am not confident that a covid19 vaccine will be available then. I’m not sure if I feel safe enough to fly and get on a cruise before 2022. I’m wondering if anyone has any luck in postponing to 24 months out? Will the OBC be forfeited? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums My experience in switching reservations from one cruise to another is that all deposits and insurance will be transferred to a new cruise, but any "perks" associated with the first reservation will not be transferred to the second reservation. The second reservation will stand alone. I transferred a cruise from one year to another and although the original reservation included free airfare, the cruise that I transferred to did not, so I lost the free air. It suited my purposes, so I still did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sleepybobo Posted April 26, 2020 Author #3 Share Posted April 26, 2020 My TA is able to move my 2021 sailing to May 2022 and all the onboard booking and past guest discounts are carried over. Bad news is final payment is due December of this year - 17 months before embarkation. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your TA should be able to have that reduced to a more reasonable lead time. When I booked a September 2021 cruise directly with Viking the final payment date was July 21 of this year. When my TA took over the booking she was able to have that date changed to February 19, 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sleepybobo Posted April 26, 2020 Author #5 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Will ask my TA about extending the final payment date. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
